The IR move locks in a multi-game absence for a three-time Pro Bowl guard in the middle of PFM's No. 5 offense. PFM will review Offense, Roster Strength and Team Score with T.J. Bass expected to replace Smith at left guard.
Liufau's IR move takes an experienced linebacker out of Dallas' opening rotation. The defense has other options, so this is a depth hit rather than a reason by itself to move the overall team rating.
