Cowboys avoid worst case Tyler Guyton injury scenario
The post Cowboys avoid worst case Tyler Guyton injury scenario appeared first on ClutchPoints. 2025 will be a season of slight change for the Dallas Cowboys. Head coach Brian Schottenheimer is heading into his first season at the helm. The longtime offensive assistant will look to make this team his own. Most of the roster returns from last year, and the team's core has been the same for the last few seasons. After former first-rounder Tyler Guyton went down with an injury during Monday's training camp session, the worst was feared. However, according to NFL insider Ian Rapoport via X (formerly Twitter), Guyton could miss just a month with his knee injury. 'From Inside Training Camp Live: The #Cowboys got far better than expected news on Tyler Guyton, who could miss just a month,' posted Rapoport on the social media platform. While the healing process from the bone fracture in his knee could take up to eight weeks overall, that means Guyton should be back by the time October begins. If he's only missing the first few games of the regular season, then there's plenty of time for him to return to the lineup. The former first-rounder has been affected by injuries quite a bit during his time in Dallas. He will undoubtedly want to get back to full strength sooner rather than later. Cowboys suffer a pair of injury blows as training camp continues As good as it was to hear that Guyton will likely miss no more than a month of the upcoming regular season, the Cowboys got more injury news Monday. Cornerback Caelen Carson will also be out for four to six weeks due to a knee injury he sustained. He hyperextended the joint during Sunday's training camp session. The 2024 fifth rounder was looking for a bigger role in 2025. The Cowboys' depth at cornerback has been in question throughout camp due to numerous absences. Starter Trevon Diggs and Josh Butler are currently on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list, while rookie Shavon Revel is recovering from an injury sustained last season. Under new defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus, every opportunity counts. Hopefully Carson and Guyton will be back sooner rather than later. Once again, the goal for 2025 is a Lombardi Trophy. Can Dallas get healthy and pursue its goal at full strength?

Cowboys news: Offensive lineman goes down at Dallas training camp
The post Cowboys news: Offensive lineman goes down at Dallas training camp appeared first on ClutchPoints. The Dallas Cowboys are in the middle of training camp, and it sounds like the franchise experienced an injury scare on Monday. One of the team's key offensive linemen fell to an unspecified injury that the organization is going to have to keep tabs on. Reports indicate that starting left tackle, Tyler Guyton, suffered the injury during practice. It's unclear what the issue is right now, but NFL Network's Ian Rapoport is keeping his eyes on the situation. The good news is that Guyton, who is 24 years old, was able to walk off the field to the locker room, per Ari Meirov of the 33rd Team. It appears that the Cowboys' left tackle could be dealing with a lower body injury, as Meirov claims that Guyton had some help while leaving the field. 'Cowboys LT Tyler Guyton went down during training camp and, after being on the ground for a couple of minutes, gingerly walked to the locker room with some help.' Tyler Guyton was the Cowboys' first-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft after the team decided to select him with the No. 29 pick overall. He displayed solid potential throughout his first year in the league and hopes to be even more consistent in Year 2. However, Guyton will have to overcome whatever kind of injury he is dealing with early in training camp. Guyton played in 15 games for the Cowboys last season, starting in 11 of them. The former Oklahoma Sooner dealt with some injuries during his rookie season; however, he only missed two games. Hopefully, it's not a serious issue for Tyler Guyton. The Cowboys will likely monitor the second-year pro before announcing exactly what kind of injury Guyton suffered. Dallas is attempting to bounce back from a disappointing season, and Guyton is probably viewed to be part of the plan for success.

Cowboys' Tyler Guyton receives crushing injury update after MRI
The post Cowboys' Tyler Guyton receives crushing injury update after MRI appeared first on ClutchPoints. On Monday morning, it was reported that starting left tackle Tyler Guyton had suffered some sort of lower-body injury. It was unclear exactly how serious the injury was, but the latest update reveals some bad news for the Dallas Cowboys' offensive lineman. Before receiving an MRI, it was believed that Guyton, who is 24 years old, had suffered a torn ACL, according to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. Nothing was confirmed, though, as the Cowboys' left tackle is undergoing an MRI to confirm the injury. 'Sources: Cowboys starting OT Tyler Guyton, who went down in practice today, is feared to have torn his ACL heading into the MRI. A significant blow to Dallas' offensive line if tests confirm, as big things were expected of the former first-rounder.' Although the Cowboys feared the worst, it appears that Tyler Guyton had luck on his side. With the MRI completed, it is reported that he suffered a bone fracture in his leg, per ESPN's Adam Schefter and Todd Archer. So, Guyton has officially suffered a bone fracture, and not a torn ACL. The bone fracture has a timeline of 4-6 weeks of recovery time. So, Guyton should be able to return to action at some point in the regular season. 'Cowboys LT Tyler Guyton's ACL is intact after an MRI, per Todd Archer. He has a bone fracture that will not require surgery, and he now is expected to be out 4-6 weeks.' Tyler Guyton was the Cowboys' first-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. He played 15 games last season, missing two due to injury, but nothing was deemed serious. He seemingly flashed the potential of possibly becoming a long-term piece at left tackle. After suffering a bone fracture, the Cowboys may elect to sign another left tackle in free agency to replace Guyton for the short term. As of now, Asim Richards and Hakeem Adeniji will likely compete for the starting job. Tyler Guyton's injury is a setback for a franchise that is hoping for major changes in the 2025-26 campaign after struggling last season and finishing with a 7-10 record.

Cowboys Headlines: WR waived; Jones' claim about Diggs rehab; 2 vie to replace Guyton
Wednesday's practice ended early, but not for a good reason. Read on to find out why head coach Brian Schottenheimer sent everyone to the showers early- but not before sending them a harsh message about discipline. We'll also recap which offensive linemen stepped up to get the first opportunity to replace the injured Tyler Guyton... and which lineman had to sit out due to an injury of his own. And which Cowboy packed up his gear and turned in his playbook? We'll reveal who had to go to make room for cornerback help. Elsewhere, we're preparing to play the long game in the Micah Parsons contract saga, but find out what very dollars-and-cents reason the club may actually have for dragging things out. And Stephen Jones makes a bold claim about Trevon Diggs and his private rehab efforts: are the Cowboys really in worse shape because the All-Pro didn't work out with the team? All that, plus Kaiir Elam's brilliant start in the star, Malik Hooker's resurgence after a down year, rookie Madden ratings, and how Matt Eberflus is hoping he can create a new Sean Lee. History says Cowboys will get Micah Parsons deal done — but when? :: The Athletic Link 'He's getting paid,' Jerry Jones said of his star edge rusher. 'He gets about $20-some million right now. And that's a pretty easy $20 million standing there watching practice." But the longer this goes on, the tougher it will be for Parsons to stay on the sideline and not talk to reporters. In some ways, he's like the Jerry Jones of players; he enjoys the media side of the job. What gets said- by both parties- in the meantime may prove to be the most interesting part of this standoff. Guaranteed Heartburn: The reason the Cowboys are in no rush to pay Parsons $200+ million :: Cowboys Wire Link Despite recent headlines claiming that Parsons and the Cowboys are further apart now than they were months ago in contract extension talks, there's a very basic reason why the Joneses prefer to wait. Interest. NFL owners don't get to earn interest on money once it's placed into the requisite escrow account for a player's guaranteed payout. If the Cowboys leave $98 million (to pick a believable number that was bandied about last summer) in their investment portfolio for 15 months, from June 2024 through September 2025, they make enough money to pay Parsons $108 million of guaranteed money in September 2025 and still have some profit. That's why there's no urgency. Updates: Top two who'll get chance to replace Guyton :: The Mothership Link Tyler Guyton won't be out as long as first thought, but there's still a hole at left tackle for the time being. Former fifth-round draft pick Asim Richards and former seventh-rounder Nate Thomas will get the first cracks at filling Guyton's shoes. Both have shown good things in reps with the second team so far in Oxnard. Savvy Cowboys fans focusing on development, changes to offensive line :: Cowboys Wire Link The Cowboys have three first-round draft picks on the starting front five, and they heavily revamped the unit's coaching staff in the offseason. Clearly, OL is a priority. And the success of the team will depend largely on how well that group can block in the run game and protect Dak Prescott in the passing attack. Early camp injuries and players who still need to elevate their play have made things interesting already, and it's not even August. Another offensive lineman out of Wednesday's practice :: Nick Harris Cowboys release veteran wide receiver to make room for new cornerback :: Link The Tuesday signing of cornerback Christian Matthew required someone to be released from the team to open up a roster spot. It was Kelvin Harmon who turned in his playbook. The wide receiver spent 2024 on the practice squad, after three years with Washington and stints in both the USFL and XFL. Practice Ejections: HC punishes Cowboys for fighting; 'We need discipline' after hands fly :: Cowboys Wire Link Brian Schottenheimer got serious about putting a stop to the scuffling at Wednesday's practice. Rookie offensive lineman Ajani Cornelius got ejected for throwing a punch, and then the whole team was forced to run lines after a third fight broke out in the day's session. Cowboys EVP Stephen Jones on Trevon Diggs' $500K salary reduction: 'We're paying a price, too' :: Link The front office seems intent on painting their All-Pro cornerback as a malcontent who belongs in the doghouse. Jones claimed in a radio interview that Diggs "might be further along had he done his rehab" with the team instead of on his own. That's debatable, but Diggs would certainly be richer; he lost $500,000 due to a de-escalator clause in his contract regarding workouts with the team. "We expect leadership and we expect them to be here," Jones continued. "Certainly we addressed that with Diggs." Former 1st-round pick proving to be brilliant trade acquisition for Cowboys :: Cowboys Wire Link When it first happened in March, the Kaiir Elam trade was mocked by Bills fans and left Cowboys fans underwhelmed. But the former first-rounder has been simply sensational in Oxnard, his flashy yet consistent play providing hope that a change of scenery may have been all he needed. He'll be leaned on early in the season, with several Cowboys cornerbacks still on the mend. Cowboys $21 million re-investment took a year but is paying off under new system :: Cowboys Wire Link A year in Mike Zimmer's defense didn't do Malik Hooker any favors. The veteran turned in a down season but appears to now be on the upswing again under Matt Eberflus. He's been a great safety net for the secondary as a single-high capable of playing centerfield. That's a rare combo in today's game that could help him make the most of a prove-it contract year. Why Cowboys DC Matt Eberflus hopes DeMarvion Overshown can be his next Sean Lee :: Dallas Morning News Link Lee remains one of Eberflus's favorite players ever. Overshown could be setting himself up to follow in "The General"'s footsteps as a smart and savvy player who can diagnose plays before they happen. Overshown has been working with the defensive call sheet during practices, going over with Eberflus what he saw after each snap. "This guy has coached some of the best of the best,' Overshown said. 'So when he comes to me and says, 'You've got what it takes to be just like one of those guys,' I don't take that lightly. I want him to push me every day so I can reach that full potential." Criticism 'added fuel to the fire' for emerging Cowboys running back Jaydon Blue :: Fort Worth Star-Telegram Link The fifth-round draft pick from Texas definitely heard the remarks from a former Cowboys assistant regarding his supposed "borderline lazy" habits. Blue has been working to bust that myth, saying the criticism helped "add a little fuel to my fire" and turning in a great camp thus far as a result. Cowboys coaches and teammates alike have commented on his versatility and speed, and he may be headed toward a key role in the RB platoon. Cowboys' Dak Prescott focused on family, health, Super Bowl :: ESPN Link Prescott is now the longest-tenured Cowboys player. The decade spent with the club has given him more perspective on his life away from the team. "Now when I get to get away from this building and get away from here, my mind gets to leave it, where in the past it didn't. I think that could be detrimental at times. [Now] it's no overthinking things, thinking too much about the things you want." Having his fiancée and two daughters greeting him as he steps off the practice field in Oxnard serves as a different kind of reminder of what he's playing for. Cowboys UDFA overcame deafness, cancer, now looks to make 53-man roster :: Cowboys Wire Link Every journey to the NFL comes with a challenge, but Tyler Neville has overcome more than his share. Born deaf and having beaten Stage 2 Hodgkin's Lymphoma before college, the Harvard grad is now battling for a spot behind Jake Ferguson and (likely) Luke Schoonmaker at tight end for the Cowboys. Cowboys rookies outrank other NFC East teams in Madden 26 ratings :: Cowboys Wire Link No Cowboys players made the coveted "99 Club," but this year's rookie class has scored well in the new version of the game. Of the seven highest-graded rookies in the division, three are wearing the star. Follow Cowboys Wire on Facebook to join in on the conversation with fellow fans!

Cowboys left tackle at risk of missing season opener vs. the Eagles with ACL injury
Cowboys' Tyler Guyton expected to miss 4-6 weeks with a bone fracture The Eagles' season opener against the Cowboys is the hottest ticket in sports, and the visitors could be without their left tackle. Cowboys starting left tackle Tyler Guyton sustained a bone fracture in practice that will not require surgery, and he is expected to miss four to six weeks, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported. Initially, it was feared Guyton had torn his ACL, but further testing revealed otherwise. Guyton was a 2024 NFL Draft first-round pick, taken 29th overall. He struggled as a rookie, earning a 49.4 overall grade from Pro Football Focus. Pro Bowl left guard Tyler Smith could switch spots, as he started his rookie season at left tackle. Smith's backup, Robert Jones, will likely miss multiple months with a broken bone in his neck. Right tackle Terence Steele, who's slated to start next to rookie right guard Tyler Booker, was recently dealing with an ankle injury.
