Smith recorded 13 tackles (seven solo) in Sunday's loss to the Vikings.

EDGE Analysis

He tied Leighton Vander Esch for the team lead, and Smith set a new season high for tackles for the second straight game. The fourth-year LB is on pace for a career-high 144 stops, and he's added 2.5 sacks through nine games for good measure.

Smith recorded 12 tackles (four solo) and half a sack in Monday's win over the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

With Leighton Vander Esch (neck) out of action, Smith saw even more run-stuffing duties than usual and set a new season high for tackles, tying Sean Lee for the team lead while helping to hold Saquon Barkley to 28 rushing yards. If Vander Esch remains sidelined in Week 10, Smith could be line for another big IDP performance against Dalvin Cook and the Vikings.

Smith recorded nine tackles (five solo), one sack and one defended pass during Sunday's loss to the Packers.

EDGE Analysis

Smith has now recorded a sack in two straight games. The 24-year-old is off to a strong start to the 2019 season, and he'll look to keep his momentum up versus the Jets in Week 6.

Smith recorded nine total tackles (seven solo) and a sack in Sunday's 12-10 loss to New Orleans.

EDGE Analysis

Smith's lone sack Sunday was his first of the 2019 season. The 24-year-old was also present for 58 of 71 defensive plays (82 percent). Through four games, Smith has racked up 27 solo tackles, which is tied with Cleveland's Joe Schobert for the fourth-most in the league.

Smith recorded a team-high 10 tackles in Sunday's win over the Dolphins.

EDGE Analysis

The 24-year-old is off to a quick start to 2019, racking up 27 tackles and a forced fumble through three games. Smith's strength in run support should continue to afford him plenty of IDP value, especially if the Cowboys' battered group of defensive tackles can't stop opposition RBs from getting past them consistently.

Smith recorded a team-high 11 tackles, eight of them solo, in Sunday's win over Washington.

EDGE Analysis

The 24-year-old linebacker is off to a strong start to the season with 17 tackles through two games. Smith remains better in run support than pass coverage -- opponents are 6-for-6 in completing passes with him in coverage -- but his speed and strength should allow him to continue piling up IDP value.

Smith agreed to a long-term contract extension with the Cowboys on Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. He will take home $64 million ($35.5 million guaranteed) over the next five season, per Jon Machota of The Athletic.

EDGE Analysis

The Cowboys have plenty of extensions to take care of this offseason, and it ends up being Smith who receives the first long-term deal from Dallas. Smith is coming off a very impressive 2018 regular season campaign where he racked up 121 tackles, four sacks, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries. Smith emerged as the leader of this impressive Cowboy defense and now will remain with the team for the foreseeable future.

Smith practiced Wednesday after suffering a minor knee injury during Saturday's preseason game against the 49ers, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Smith's knee issue kept him from practicing Monday. The 24-year-old linebacker has a history of knee injuries, but he now appears back to full health. He'll resume working with the Cowboys' first team alongside Leighton Vander Esch.

Smith finished the regular season with 121 tackles, four sacks, four passes defended, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries, including one for a touchdown.

EDGE Analysis

The 23-year-old justified the risk the Cowboys took in the 2016 draft when they selected him early in the second round despite a devastating knee injury that, at the time, seemed to put his career in jeopardy. Smith paired with rookie Leighton Vander Esch to form one of the league's best young linebacking duos, and as long as they can both stay healthy, they should give the Dallas defense a strong core for the foreseeable future.

Smith had 10 tackles (five solo) and returned a fumble 69 yards for a touchdown in Sunday's win over the Buccaneers.

EDGE Analysis

Smith's touchdown helped the Cowboys jump out to an early 14-3 lead to help clinch the NFC East division title. The 23-year-old reached double-digit tackles for the second straight week and fifth time this season, as he continues to serve as a great compliment alongside breakout rookie Leighton Vander Esch.
