Cowboys' Jaylon Smith: Nerves starting to regenerate

The nerves in Smith's knee are starting to regenerate, and he's increasing his muscle control in the injured knee, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Analysis:

It was announced Friday that Smith was on track to participate in OTAs and training camp before making his NFL debut in 2017, and it's now clearer how far he has progressed in rehab. He reportedly can lift his toes and foot on his own for the first time since suffering the injury. While he has some time remaining in his rehab, he appears as if he may approach a full recovery.
