Cowboys LT Tyler Guyton fractures bone in right knee during practice, reports say

OXNARD, Calif. (AP) — Cowboys left tackle Tyler Guyton was hurt in practice Monday, the second injury on Dallas' offensive line in as many days.
According to multiple reports, Guyton has a broken bone in his right knee that will not require surgery and he could miss four to six weeks. The Cowboys open the season at the Philadelphia Eagles on Sept. 4, meaning a recovery on the longer end of that timeframe would put Guyton's availability in question for that NFC East game.
Guyton, a first-round pick out of Oklahoma, started 11 games and played in 15 as a rookie last season. The Cowboys have been counting on the 6-foot-7, 325-pound Guyton taking a step forward in his second season as part of a reconfigured offensive line.

Commanders Hitting Over Hinges On Jayden Daniels' Sophomore Success

National Football League Commanders Hitting Over Hinges On Jayden Daniels' Sophomore Success Published Aug. 7, 2025 9:37 a.m. ET share facebook x reddit link This time last summer, Las Vegas bookmakers had plenty of questions about the Washington Commanders — and it made sense why. The team moved on from veteran head coach Ron Rivera, brought in a brand-new staff and drafted LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels with the second overall pick. Their season win total was set at [O/U] 6.5 games. All the Commanders did was ride Daniels to a 12-5 record, a road playoff win over the top-seeded Detroit Lions and a berth in the NFC Championship Game against the eventual world champion Philadelphia Eagles. Washington was two bad quarters away from the Super Bowl. The question now is, can they run it back? It's a polarizing question in the betting markets, where the Commanders are totaled at [O/U] 9.5 wins with prices as low as 2/1 to win the NFC East and 9/1 to win the conference. They're also favored (-145) to make the playoffs. Washington will need Daniels to avoid the ol' Year 2 regression and it feels paramount that the team successfully navigates wideout Terry McLaurin's recent trade request . McLaurin has surpassed 1,000 receiving yards in five straight seasons, and he caught a career-best 13 touchdowns last year. "There's urgency to sign Terry," a source near the Commanders told me. "He's their best playmaker and one of the best deep threats in the NFL. They're trying to build around Daniels the way Baltimore did with Lamar Jackson." ADVERTISEMENT We'll see if both sides can reach an agreement. Daniels is the unquestioned headliner after completing 69% of his passes for 3,500 yards and 25 touchdowns as a rookie. He rushed for almost 900 yards and added six more scores on the ground, too. People gush over his instincts and decision-making skills. "They do a lot of virtual reality drills with him behind closed doors at super speed," the source continued. "When they challenge him mentally, they get more out of him. They know he'll be ready to go physically. "It's tough to find anyone in that building who thinks last year was a fluke." Respect for Daniels is no different among bettors and bookmakers, either. Only Jackson, Joe Burrow, Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes have shorter odds to win league MVP at sportsbooks across the United States. The hype is real. Jayden Daniels' 2025 NFL MVP odds DraftKings: +750 (bet $10 to win $85 total) BetMGM: +850 (bet $10 to win $95 total) Caesars: +900 (bet $10 to win $100 total) SuperBook: +1000 (bet $10 to win $110 total) FanDuel: +1000 (bet $10 to win $110 total) Circa: +1300 (bet $10 to win $140 total) I'm hesitant to say the Commanders will match last year's surprise playoff run and expectations are understandably different when you're trying to sustain success. But offseason additions like Deebo Samuel, Laremy Tunsil, Von Miller and Javon Kinlaw provide optimism for double-digit victories. It'll also help if Washington converts close to 79% of its fourth-down conversions , a success rate that led the league a year ago. Assuming McLaurin returns to the fold, I like Washington's Over.

Dallas Cowboys Prospect Slowly Earning Larger Role in Training Camp

Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Heading into training camp, there weren't many positional battles going on for the Dallas Cowboys. That said, one prospect has shined over the past two and could emerge as the answer in a key area of need. In the Dak Prescott era, the Cowboys have been an extremely pass-heavy offense. Wanting to be a more balanced squad in 2025, the front office addressed the backfield in a variety of ways this offseason. During free agency, Dallas nabbed a pair of veterans in Javonte Williams and Miles Sanders to hold things down in the backfield. However, one rookie is quietly making his way up the depth chart in an effort to have a prominent role in year one.

Photo by/Getty Images Jaydon Blue getting first team reps amid standing out in Cowboys camp In a recent column for The Athletic, Jon Machota broke down some of the top performers in camp for the Cowboys thus far. Among those mentioned was rookie running back Jaydon Blue. Machota noted that Blue has played so well he's even getting reps with the first team at times. "The running back group has been an interesting one to monitor. Javonte Williams entered camp as the probable No. 1 guy. Miles Sanders then started to stand out a little more. With those two being the veterans, they could get the bulk of the touches early in the season," Machota wrote. "But lately, Blue has been standing out more and more, to the point he's been getting some first-team reps. When given the opportunity, he's been taking care of the football, showcasing his speed, athleticism and quality hands. Each day that goes by, Blue appears to be getting more comfortable with the offense and speed of the NFL game."

He is fresh off his best collegiate season, racking up over 1,000 yards from scrimmage and 14 touchdowns. As a dual-threat back, Blue fits the kind of player the Cowboys are looking for in the backfield. Someone who can establish a running game but also be able to step out and give Prescott another viable target. Jumping two veterans on the depth chart will be an uphill battle for Blue, but he seems to have made a strong first impressions. He'll now need to carry this momentum into the preseason.

Dak Prescott on Micah Parsons Dispute: ‘This Is Frustrating for Everybody'

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott had two words to sum up the escalating dispute between the organization and All-Pro pass rusher Micah Parsons: "F---, man." "He knows what that means," Prescott said about reaching out to Parsons, per Yahoo Sports. "It wasn't 'F--- you, Micah,' or 'F--- them.' It's more of a 'F---, this is frustrating for everybody involved.'" Prescott has experienced his own share of drawn-out negotiations in recent years, having gone back and forth with Jones through two extended disputes. Prescott inked a four-year, $160 million deal in 2021 and then a four-year, $240 million extension on the eve of the Cowboys' Week 1 season opener last fall after an awkward offseason in which Jones was wishy-washy about paying Prescott. "Not many people, especially here, have been in that position," Prescott said, per CBS Sports. "So I know what that means just to support him." While Prescott reached out to Parsons, team owner Jerry Jones has still yet to do so. Jones shared he has not spoken to Parsons nor started contract negotiations with his agent, David Mulugheta, since he demanded a trade on Aug. 1. Jones also went on to say that he's uncertain if Parsons will play in the Cowboys' season opener against the defending champion Philadelphia Eagles on Sept. 4, which also serves as the opener to the 2025 NFL regular season. Parsons continued his hold-in this week, watching the joint practice with the Los Angeles Rams on Aug. 5 from the sidelines in his white No. 11 jersey and sweats. [MORE: Micah Parsons Next Team Odds: Will Cowboys Trade Star DE?] Parsons and the Cowboys began contract discussions in January. Jones mentioned at the NFL's annual league meeting in April that he was communicating directly with Parsons about a potential new deal, alluding to a conversation the two had in March that Jones seemingly interpreted as a formal negotiation. According to Parsons, when his agent reached out after that meeting, "the team decided to go silent." Furthermore, Parsons let it be known that he wouldn't be doing any deal without his agent involved. In June, Parsons said that he was "hopeful" he'd have a new deal done before the start of training camp on July 20. One day before the start of camp, Jones seemingly took a dig at Parsons' durability by mentioning he missed a handful of games due to injury last season when asked by reporters for an update on the negotiations. While Parsons didn't respond directly, he reshared a social media post from former NFL star J.J. Watt about how someone "can publicly take a dig at … your star pass rusher simultaneously, right before the season begins." Parsons reported to the start of training camp but only observed from the sidelines and did not participate. Shortly after, he made a formal trade request, calling out the Jones family for how they'd handled contract negotiations and revealing that they haven't "had a single conversation" with his agent in a 1,000-plus-word statement posted online. Jones added more fuel to the fire two days later, saying that a situation from a decade ago involving former Cowboys star Dez Bryant — who publicly voiced his support for Parsons on social media — and Roc Nation Sports owner Jay-Z is the reason why he doesn't like to deal with agents. A first-round draft pick in 2021, Parsons has at least 12.0 sacks in each of his four seasons in Dallas and has 52.5 for his career. He also had 12 tackles for loss in 13 games last season. Parsons is going into the fifth and final year of his rookie deal and could be franchise tagged in 2026 without an extension. He's set to make $24.007 million in 2025.
