Injuries keep mounting for Dallas Cowboys' offensive line ahead of Packers showdown

FRISCO, Texas _ The Dallas Cowboys' offensive line could be without both starting tackles Sunday against the Green Bay Packers.

Right Tackle La'el Collins did not practice Wednesday. He's dealing with a back issue, coach Jason Garrett said.

Left tackle Tyron Smith will miss the 3:25 p.m. game at AT&T Stadium after suffering a high ankle sprain against the Saints last week. He's expected to miss at least one game.

Connor Williams and Cam Fleming worked at the starting tackle spots during Wednesday's practice.

Running back Ezekiel Elliott, who rushed for the third-fewest yards (35) in his career against the Saints last week, said he's not concerned about the health of the offensive line.

"It's a long football season. There are going to be injuries," Elliott said. "The great thing about this offensive line is they're really good from top to bottom. There's a lot of depth. I've got of a lot of faith in all those guys in that room."
