He was tested on Friday and is without symptoms. He, along with wide receiver Jon’Vea Johnson, are the first two Cowboys players to have tested positive upon arrival to camp.
Both players will remain on reserve for at least a week and cannot come to camp until they test negative over a course of multiple tests.
Smith was signed to a two-year deal with the Cowboys in April and has yet to appear in a single NFL game.
