Dallas Cowboys' Offensive Line Faces Challenges with Key Injuries

USA, OxnardTue Jul 29 2025

The Dallas Cowboys are dealing with some injury troubles on their offensive line. Tyler Guyton, their left tackle, hurt his right knee during practice. The good news? He didn't tear his ACL. The bad news? He has a bone fracture and will be out for four to six weeks. No surgery is needed, though.

The Injury

Guyton was hurt during a passing play. He stayed on the ground for a while before slowly walking off with some help. It could have been worse, but it's still a setback for the team. Guyton had a rough rookie season but showed improvement this offseason. His coach, Brian Schottenheimer, noticed his growing confidence.

Possible Replacements

Without Guyton, the Cowboys have a few options:

  • Asim Richards
  • Hakeem Adeniji
  • Rookie Ajani Cornelius

Adeniji has experience at left tackle but has been working with the starters at right tackle lately. Tyler Smith, a Pro Bowl guard, could also move to tackle, but that might not be ideal.

Additional Injury Concerns

The Cowboys are already missing guard Rob Jones, who broke a bone in his neck. He'll be out for two to three months, but at least he doesn't need surgery either. This is a tough break for the offensive line, but they have some depth to work with.

Looking Ahead

It's a tough situation, but the Cowboys have faced injuries before. They'll need to rely on their backups and hope for a quick recovery for their starters. It's a test of their depth and resilience.
