He had not practiced with the team since Aug. 1. He returned for the joint practices against the Dolphins.

“I didn’t have an injury,” Smith said. “Just some things I have to continue to maintain on my body. But I’m feeling good. I’m working myself back in. I’m just continuing to make more strides every day. Year 7 now and I feel great and I want to keep it that way. We just have to go about it in different ways.”
