Dallas Cowboys linebacker Jaylon Smith will undergo left wrist surgery Thursday, multiple sources told ESPN’s Todd Archer.
Smith didn’t miss a game in 2020 and led the Cowboys with 154 tackles. He was on the injury report at week 16 with a wrist injury, but was a full participant in the workout.
Smith should be ready for the start of the off-season schedule, the sources told Archer.
Although Smith led the Cowboys in tackles, there is some doubt about his future with the team due to potential pay cap issues.
Smith is scheduled to earn a base salary of $ 7.2 million by 2021, which will be fully guaranteed on the fifth day of the new competition year, and has a maximum of $ 9.8 million. He has been signed for the 2025 season after signing a six-year $ 68.4 million deal in 2019.
Smith has posted at least 120 tackles in three of his four seasons and has 498 tackles and 9 sacks in 64 career games.
