Cowboys Lose OG Rob Jones for 2025 Season

Dallas Cowboys guard Rob Jones will miss the entire 2025 NFL season after breaking a bone in his neck during a July training camp practice. Although initial estimates suggested a 2-3 month recovery, further evaluations led to Jones being placed on season-ending injured reserve, ending any chance of a late-season return. Jones, who signed a one-year, $3.75 million contract this offseason, was competing for a starting position and had earned praise for his leadership and consistent play. In response, the Cowboys signed running back Malik Davis to address depth issues caused by injuries to Miles Sanders, Deuce Vaughn, and rookie Jaydon Blue. Rookie Tyler Booker is expected to assume starting reps at guard following Jones' departure. The team may continue to explore additional offensive line options before the season starts.
