The Cowboys had a disappointing season last year, but one of the highlights was rookie tackle Tyler Guyton. The 2024 first-round pick played 15 games for Dallas and began to establish himself as a cornerstone piece of the offensive line, cementing left tackle in the second half of the season.
However, not even a week into training camp, Guyton’s 2025 season looked to be in jeopardy. The 24-year-old suffered an injury during Cowboys practice on Monday, and Dallas feared that they might have lost Guyton for the season.
Here’s the latest on Guyton’s injury.

Tyler Guyton injury update
Guyton went down with an injury during practice, and the team feared that he tore his ACL, Ian Rapoport reported. However, after Guyton underwent an MRI, it was determined that he suffered a bone fracture in his knee and will just miss 4-6 weeks.
Guyton will not need surgery and should be back sometime early in the season.
And finally, some good news for the #Cowboys: OT Tyler Guyton, who went into his MRI believing he had torn his ACL, had tests than revealed it to be intact.
Instead, it’s a bone fracture. No surgery, as it it will heal. He’s out 4-6 weeks. Sigh of relief in Oxnard.

Guyton played in 15 games as a rookie during the 2024 season, starting 11 contests and playing all his snaps at left tackle. He is expected to be the team’s starting left tackle this season as Dallas looks for a bounce-back campaign.
Cowboys offensive line depth chart
| LT | LG | C | RG | RT | |
| First team | Tyler Guyton | Tyler Smith | Cooper Beebe | Tyler Booker | Terence Steele |
| Second team | Asim Richards | Robert Jones | Dakoda Shipley | Brock Hoffman | Hakeem Adeniji |
| Third team | Nathan Thomas | Saahdiq Charles | T.J. Bass | Matt Waletzko | |
| Fourth team | Ajani Cornelius |
If Guyton does miss time, Asim Richards is next in line to get the first crack at taking over as the starting left tackle. Richards is a former fifth-round pick of the Cowboys who spent his first two seasons in Dallas, playing in 21 games but starting just once in that span.
