New York Giants RB Rod Smith (groin) suffered a groin injury during the preseason game Thursday, Aug. 22, and has been ruled out.

Free-agent RB Rod Smith (Cowboys) signed with the New York Giants Wednesday, May 8. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Smith has spent almost all of his pro career with the Cowboys. He stays in the NFC East, but now with the Giants he will compete to be the primary backup behind Saquon Barkley. With only guys like Wayne Gallman or Paul Perkins to contend with, Smith might climb the depth chart. |

Cowboys | Rod Smith big part of passing game Sun Dec 10, 04:17 PM
Dallas Cowboys RB Rod Smith caught five passes for 113 yards and one touchdown against the New York Giants in Week 14. He also rushed for 47 yards and one touchdown on six carries during the game.
| Footballguys view: All of Smith's meaningful production came in garbage time, but it counts just the same if you plugged him in as a desperation play. He'll get a second look as one next week against the Raiders. |

Cowboys | Rod Smith a sneaky play Wed Nov 22, 11:08 AM
Dallas Cowboys RB Rod Smith has a good matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers Thursday, Nov. 23, as the Chargers have allowed the most receptions to running backs the last five weeks. The Chargers have been a bottom-five team against running backs during the stretch.
| Footballguys view: Keep this in mind if you're looking for a 'what the heck' flex play on Thanksgiving. DFS players should consider Smith because of his low price tag and high upside in this matchup. |

Cowboys | Rod Smith to have bigger role? Thu Nov 9, 10:03 PM
Dallas Cowboys RB Rod Smith is expected to receive touches while RB Ezekiel Elliott is suspended, and running backs coach Gary Brown believes Smith can be an every-down back in the NFL.
| Footballguys view: Smith is worth adding all but short bench formats. Alfred Morris will get the first shot at carries, but Smith will get enough work to demonstrate that he deserves more work, including goal-line work. He has the highest ceiling of the Cowboys backs filling in for Ezekiel Elliott. |

Cowboys | Alfred Morris expected to start Thu Nov 9, 03:55 PM
Dallas Cowboys RB Alfred Morris is expected to be the starting running back against Atlanta Falcons in Week 10 because of RB Ezekiel Elliott's suspension. RB Rod Smith would serve as the No. 2 running back and be a significant part of the game plan. RB Darren McFadden could be active as the No. 3 running back.
| Footballguys view: While Morris is going to get the lead back slot, there's enough buzz around Darren McFadden and Rod Smith to make us leery of investing too much in Morris too soon. More than likely, we will need to see how this shakes out over the next couple of weeks. Morris is your best bet right now, but more as a flex or an RB3. |

Cowboys | Rod Smith working ahead of Alfred Morris Sun Jul 30, 03:12 PM
Dallas Cowboys RB Rod Smith continues to work ahead of Alfred Morris as the third running back, according to ESPN's Todd Archer.
| Footballguys view: Morris seems to be on the roster bubble, and unlike Smith, he can't contribute at fullback. If Ezekiel Elliott doesn't get suspended, Morris is more likely to be on the outside looking in when the season begins. |

Cowboys | Rod Smith ahead of Alfred Morris? Fri Jun 16, 02:19 AM
Dallas Cowboys RB Rod Smith worked ahead of RB Alfred Morris during minicamp, according to ESPN's Todd Archer. Unlike Morris, Smith has the versatility to play fullback and can also help on special teams.
| Footballguys view: Morris may not be with the Cowboys in 2017. There was already talk about the team potentially trading or releasing him. The emergence of Smith could mean Morris is playing elsewhere when the regular season gets here. |

| Footballguys view: Lee could be out for a while as he has a history of concussions. This is a blow to a Cowboys defense that has quietly been playing very well. |

Seahawks | Christine Michael not being pushed Wed Aug 26, 12:46 AM
Seattle Seahawks RB Christine Michael appears to be in good shape holding onto the No. 3 running back spot behind RBs Marshawn Lynch and Robert Turbin. There has been speculation RBs Thomas Rawls and Rod X. Smith might push Michael for the No. 3 job, but head coach Pete Carroll dismissed that. 'Well they're just kind of trying to make it, they're just trying to hang right now,' Carroll said of Rawls and Smith. 'I don't know if they are pushing anybody but pushing themselves right now and just trying to figure it out.'
