IRVING, Texas -- Dallas Cowboys cornerback Brandon Carr played every defensive snap in Sunday’s win against the New York Giants and he did at least a part of it with a hamstring strain.

Coach Jason Garrett said Carr tweaked his hamstring, but “we don’t think it’s too, too bad.”

Garrett said left tackle Tyron Smith suffered no ill effects from a sprained ankle that kept him out of a day of practice last week.

With the Cowboys’ next game coming on ESPN’s “Monday Night Football” against the Washington Redskins, the Cowboys will have an extra day of rest/preparation. The players will be off on Monday and Tuesday.

“You do get a bonus day and different teams use the bonus day in different ways,” Garrett said. “Maybe earlier in the season teams might use it as a practice day but we chose to give our players off and let them do stuff on their own, do their rehab and get their running done, get their preparation started. We’ll come in on Wednesday as if it’s a Tuesday, we’ll clean up the game from Sunday and then get ready to go back to work on Thursday.”

There is no rest for the coaches, nor is there extra time to look at the Nov. 2 opponent, the Arizona Cardinals, with a short prep week to follow.

“We focus on this team who we’re playing, the Redskins on Monday night,” Garrett said. “Our energy will be to that. Because of the bonus day, the days may be a little shorter for us in a good way where we can spread the work out.”
