Cowboys' Mazi Smith Out with Peanut Allergy

Dallas Cowboys defensive tackle Mazi Smith did not travel with the team for their second preseason game against the Las Vegas Raiders due to an allergic reaction to peanuts. Smith, who was drafted in the first round in 2023, experienced the reaction on the team bus and was treated at a hospital before returning to training camp. He is expected to return to practice on Monday. The Cowboys had to adjust their lineup, starting Jordan Phillips and Justin Rogers in Smith's absence. This incident highlights the severity of food allergies, which can be life-threatening and require immediate medical attention. Smith's performance in the preseason has been promising, and he is expected to play a significant role in the upcoming season.
