Mazi Smith had an allergic reaction to something in milk he drank

Cowboys defensive tackle Mazi Smith returned to practice Monday after a health scare Friday.

Smith said his allergic reaction was to something in the milk he drank.

Clarence Hill of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported it was a peanut allergy.

It began “right away” after the Cowboys had boarded a bus to head to the airport to catch their charter to Las Vegas. Smith went to the Cowboys’ medical staff, who rushed him to a local hospital.

Smith said he has had allergic reactions previously.

I’m a big guy,” Smith said, via Jon Machota of TheAthletic.com. “I eat a lot of food. I know the ropes when it comes to having an allergic reaction. You can’t panic.”

Smith felt good enough to practice Monday and expects to participate in every practice this week.

“Yeah, it’s business as usual,” he said.
