Overview

  • Guard Rob Jones fractured a bone in his neck during Sunday’s practice and will miss two to three months without requiring surgery.
  • Left tackle Tyler Guyton suffered a knee bone fracture on Monday, with an MRI confirming his ACL is intact and projecting a four-to-six-week recovery.
  • Rookie guard Tyler Booker is set to start at right guard, while versatile backups such as Asim Richards and Brock Hoffman are being considered for other frontline roles.
  • The Cowboys have reconfigured their offensive-line depth chart in response to successive injuries to ensure quarterback Dak Prescott receives adequate protection.
  • Medical evaluations have ruled out season-ending surgeries for both players but underscored the urgency of roster flexibility and depth investments before the regular season.
