Stephen Jones and the Dallas Cowboys don't like the thought of not having a chance at seeing Jaylon Smith on the field this season.

On Monday, Jones spoke with 105.FM The Fan in Dallas and stated the team will 'probably' activate both Smith ahead of the NFL-imposed deadline of Tuesday. Should the team choose to not exercise the option, Smith would then not be able to play a single snap in 2016.

Although Jones admits there's been no progress as of yet with Smith, he's willing to activate him with the hopes that, should the nerve in his knee regenerate, they'll be able to potentially see him take the field this year.

The Cowboys will also reportedly activate veteran running back Darren McFadden this week from the NFI list, and will be allowed 21 days of practice time before being forced to decide on 53-man roster placement.

It is very unlikely the team removes tight end James Hanna from injured reserve, essentially ending his season.
