The injuries created nerve damage in his knee and ankle. In April, Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network reported that Smith could miss the entire 2016 season.&amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Smith was selected by the Cowboys in the second round of this year\u2019s draft. He signed a four-year contact with the team. The Cowboys\u2019 team doctor performed surgery on Smith\u2019s knee and is confident he will make a full recovery.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 &lt;strong&gt;TELANDER: At 53, the Refrigerator is mired in a stubborn spiral&lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Prior to his injury, Smith was expected to be a top-10 draft pick. The linebacker had six games with at least 10 tackles for Notre Dame last season.\r\n&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
