FRISCO (105.3 The Fan) - Left tackle Tyron Smith acknowledged on Tuesday that he is suffering from a bulging disc in his back, but that he's feeling better after having missed two games and is hopeful of participating in the Cowboys' practice on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, his replacement, Chaz Green, is in a walking boot with what might be a strain in his right foot sustained in Sunday's win at the 49ers. His status for the 3-1 Cowboys' meeting this weekend with the Bengals is uncertain.

Green has been solid in place of Smith, who is arguably the best tackle in the game and an ironman, too, having played 55 straight games before this injury.
