Cowboys' Guyton Out Weeks, Team Adjusts O-Line

Dallas Cowboys left tackle Tyler Guyton suffered a knee injury during training camp, but an MRI revealed a bone fracture rather than a torn ACL, requiring 4–6 weeks of recovery without surgery. Guyton, the team's 2024 first-round pick who started 11 games as a rookie, is expected to miss the season opener against the Philadelphia Eagles but could return soon afterward. The Cowboys' offensive line depth is further strained due to guard Rob Jones being sidelined for 2–3 months with a neck fracture. Internal candidates like Asim Richards, Hakeem Adeniji, and possibly Pro Bowl guard Tyler Smith are being considered to fill in at left tackle. Head coach Brian Schottenheimer and owner Jerry Jones have praised Guyton's offseason progress, and the team is working to adjust the lineup to protect quarterback Dak Prescott. Despite these setbacks, the Cowboys remain optimistic about Guyton's recovery and overall line stability.
