Official Cowboys inactives list: Dan Bailey, Chido Awuzie, Justin Durant, Justin March-Lillard, Tyron Smith, Geoff Swaim, Daniel Ross.
All-Pro Left Tackle Tyron Smith will not play today. He didn't even travel with the club to ATL. Smith was listed as questionable on Friday's injury report but did not participate in practice all week in any way as he nurses a strained groin in addition to the nagging injuries he deals with regarding his back and hip.
