The Dallas Cowboys have placed offensive tackle Tyler Guyton on injured reserve, ending his season. Guyton, a first-round pick in the 2024 NFL draft, has started 10 games at left tackle this season. He suffered a high ankle sprain during the Cowboys' win over the Eagles on November 23, 2025, and will miss at least four games, including the team's final two games against the Commanders and the New York Giants.
Head coach Brian Schottenheimer announced that Tyler Smith, who made his debut at left tackle in the previous game, will continue to fill that spot in the remaining games. This move comes as a blow to the Cowboys' offensive line, but Smith's performance will be crucial in the team's final push for a playoff spot.
The Cowboys have also made corresponding changes by signing defensive back Corey Ballentine from the practice squad and elevating linebacker Justin Barron. These moves aim to bolster the team's defense and special teams for the crucial games ahead. Fans and analysts alike will be closely watching Smith's performance to see if he can fill the void left by Guyton's absence.
