(Photo by Sam Hodde\/Getty Images)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The Dallas Cowboys\u2018 offensive line has been beaten up over the past few weeks, something the team hopes to address in the next part of the year. Luckily for the Cowboys, it wasn\u2019t much of an issue against the New York Jets, as the offense was clicking on all cylinders.<\/p>\n<p>The Jets\u2019 defense is considered above average, but when the Cowboys start to play better teams, they\u2019ll need all of their horses up front ready to go. It\u2019s the harsh reality of the NFL, as teams typically struggle when multiple offensive linemen are out.<\/p>\n<p>And fortunately for the Cowboys, this could be happening in the near future. According to Tommy Yarrish of the team, head coach Brian Schottenheimer said that offensive lineman Tyler Guyton is finishing up in the concussion protocol.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTyler Guyton is \u201cfinishing up\u201d concussion protocol, hopefully will be out soon. Jack Sanborn is in concussion protocol,\u201d he wrote on X\/Twitter.<\/p>\n<p>It was later reported that Tyler Smith and Guyton were both back at practice after missing the game on Sunday in Week 5.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTyler Smith (knee) and Tyler Guyton (concussion) were back at practice today after missing the Jets game,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><strong>Can Tyler Guyton Make an Impact for the Cowboys\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Only 24 years old, Guyton still has plenty to prove in the NFL. He\u2019s shown some decent signs for the Dallas Cowboys throughout his young career, but he\u2019ll have to continue to improve, just like every other 24-year-old in the league.<\/p>\n<p>Despite that, some believe he\u2019s guaranteed himself a starting job moving forward, not because of how he has played, but because of how poorly others have played. That includes Nate Thomas, who was in for Guyton over the weekend. When examining this, Cem Yolbulan of FanSided wrote that Guyton should have a starting job for the foreseeable future due to his poor performance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe reason for that was the performance of Nate Thomas, who started in Guyton\u2019s place. In his first career start, only a week after his first offensive snaps in the NFL, Thomas played every down as the left tackle. Even relative to the very low standard Guyton has established at left tackle, Thomas wasn\u2019t able to hold his own, finishing the game as the lowest-graded offensive player for Dallas on Pro Football Focus with 45.9. His pass block grade left plenty to be desired with 29.1.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis means that upon his return, Guyton shouldn\u2019t be at risk of losing his starting spot to Thomas. Even though the former Oklahoma standout has yet to put it together in the NFL after being considered a top prospect with some of the most intriguing athletic and physical tools, there is little reason for the Cowboys to bench Guyton if this is what they are going to get out of Thomas,\u201d he wrote .<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Cowboys Will Need to Rely on Their Depth<\/h2>\n<p>Regardless of whether it\u2019s Guyton, Thomas, or others, if injuries continue to happen, the Dallas Cowboys will have to continue to be strong up front. They\u2019re in a good position to go on a bit of a run over the next few weeks, but if they don\u2019t get healthy, they shouldn\u2019t expect much to change.<\/p>\n<p>Jon Conahan covers the NBA and NFL for Heavy.com.
