Dallas Cowboys’ LT suffered a head injury in Week 4
Left tackle Tyler Guyton suffered a concussion during the fourth quarter of Week 4 against the Green Bay Packers and later entered the concussion protocol. He was unable to practice this week, a negative sign regarding his availability against the New York Jets. The Cowboys will soon release their official injury report, listing Guyton as either questionable, doubtful, or out.
Dallas Cowboys’ offensive line hit with major blow for Week 5
According to Joseph Hoyt of The Dallas Morning News, Tyler Guyton will miss his first game of the season. As a result, Nathan Thomas will start at left tackle. Thomas filled in for Guyton for the remainder of the fourth quarter and in overtime in Week 4.
The Cowboys officially rule out LT Tyler Guyton, KR/WR KaVontae Turpin.
LG Tyler Smith is questionable. He hasn’t practiced all week. Same with RB Miles Sanders.

Their two-time Pro Bowler is questionable
Left guard Tyler Smith popped up on this week’s injury report with a knee injury despite playing every single offensive snap to start the season. The two-time Pro Bowler was unable to practice this week, but the Cowboys listed him as questionable. There is a chance that Smith doesn’t play, potentially leaving right tackle Terence Steele as the only healthy starter.
We could see a starting combination of Nathan Thomas at left tackle, Trevor Keegan at left guard, Brock Hoffman at center, T.J. Bass at right guard, and Terence Steele at right tackle.
