Sean Lee and Tyron Smith Expected to Suit Up for the Dallas Cowboys This Sunday
All-Pro linebacker Sean Lee is finally back on the practice field and he's expected to suit up for the Dallas Cowboys when they take on the San Francisco 49ers this Sunday.
Lee injured his hamstring in the final minutes of the game against the Arizona Cardinals on Sept. 25, and he sat out the last two games while he recovered. However, he was a full participant on Wednesday's and Thursday's practice and he should return to action on Sunday, Oct. 22. Barring any setbacks, of course.
The Cowboys' defense has been shaky lately. According to ProFootballTalk, the team has allowed 70 points and 754 total yards in the two games Lee was out. His presence should give the Cowboys' defense a much-needed boost against the 49ers.

Four-time Pro Bowl offensive tackle Tyron Smith is also expected to play this Sunday. Smith hasn't missed any games this season, but his back has been bothering him all season long and he didn't do much at practice on Wednesday. However, he was a full participant in Thursday's practice and he's reportedly ready to go.
"It's just something that just kind of inflamed on him. So we're just trying to make sure we give him every chance to play his best on Sunday," Cowboys coach Jason Garrett said of Smith's injury on Wednesday, via the team's official website.
Meanwhile, Ezekiel Elliott's six-game suspension has been delayed once again. The All-Pro running back has been cleared to play this Sunday after he was given a temporary restraining order by the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York earlier this week.
Reports say the National Football League (NFL) wants to discuss the possibility of a settlement, but Elliott's not interested in it, per the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
"While a settlement is a general end to any litigation in lawsuits because it offers finality and certainty, per a source, Elliott and his lawyers not only feel good about gaining a full preliminary injunction that will keep him on the field but of possibly winning the case outright," Clarence E. Hill Jr. said in his report for the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
