Washington Pass-Rush Talk; Aldon Smith Injury Update

Locked On Cowboys: Pass-Rush Talk - From Washington, and From Dallas, An Aldon Injury Update

The Dallas Cowboys football team, struggling as it is at 2-4, is still very much about the pass rush - and a lack of success that needs a healthy Aldon Smith to stay afloat.

Smith missed the Wednesday workout here at The Star in Frisco but Dallas coach Mike McCarthy on Thursday explained the situation in a positive way, saying that Smith, who leads Dallas with four sacks, "jammed his neck'' in Monday's loss to Arizona but is expected ro be OK for Sunday's Dallas-at-Washington Week 7 matchup.
