OTA Shorts: Sounds as if Tyron Smith, who missed the OTA workout open to the media last week with back tightness, should be able to go in Thursday's session open to the media … Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy was hopeful last week that third-round pick Jalen Tolbert would be able to do some work in Thursday's workout, and it appears veteran wideout James Washington is about ready to come out of his boot (sore foot tendon) and will be able to at least do some on-field rehab … Sure hoping to see Garibay do some kicking in Thursday's workout

Thanks for posting this. Hopefully it ends all the panic.

When was the last time Tyron Smith played a full season?

Facts > Opinion in this scenario.
That has nothing to do with anything. We have a rookie in a walking boot. Does that mean we write him off? No! But that's what you are doing to Tyron Smith just because he got held out of one practice. Practice! Not a game, Practice! Excuse me while I ignore you, fool!

Do I think Smith will miss significant time with injury again this year? Absolutely. But it's camp. Heck, most 1st round picks act like they don't need to be in camp or play in preseason games in today's NFL. And Tyron is as much of a plug 'n play player as you can find. I don't care if he sits on his couch all summer. Put him out there for a couple practices before preseason, a few reps during the dress rehearsal, and keep paying for those chiropractor visits.

Hope he knows when enough is enough. I would hate to see him suffering later in life as a result. I don't see why he would retire because he is use to sitting out games and still collecting a check.

Time will tell.
I am all for Smith retiring but not necessarily due to him possibly suffering later in life. That already is cast in flesh and bone with the pounding and slew of injuries he already has accumulated, particularly back, knees and shoulders.

agreed but, to what extent does he add to the damage?

In all honesty I have been wanting Dallas to trade him when he was worth something. The Patriots would of gotten rid of him 5 years ago. He is worse than Zeke when it comes to value.


Nobody is worse than Zeke

I'm not one to pretend Smith isn't an absolute injury waiting to happen and fully expect him to miss games this year, but what a moronic statement. I'm assuming a troll looking for shock value? This team with Tyron is much better than without and even worse you think two rookies who have never even put on pads in the NFL should be the solution?



This is the problem right here people assuming this still, he's done time to move on

Then we’re seeing it differently because I don’t see him playing at an “All Pro” level anymore. When he’s healthy, which is not very often he’s still a very good player but not what he was.
For what it's worth, PFF had Tyron rated the #2 tackle in the NFL last season. That's all-pro level.

I think smart thing would be to look at schedule, and just play tyron in games where the defense will have a good player on his side.
Then hopefully he would be ready for playoff games if he only played in say 5-6 games during season.
Jones will wear him out playing mediocre teams they should be able to handle without smith.
Problem with that is if one of these back ups is Chaz Green 2.0 and gets Dak murdered by a "mediocre" DE. Then what do you do? You don't healthy scratch an all-pro player in the hopes of saving him for the playoffs because his back ups might end up being the reason you don't make it that far.

Tyron for annual compensation is now in the 20s among tackles. Sure he's been injured often, but his contract doesn't make him a terrible value as it seems he's already discounted for the number of games he's missing.

well that wouldnt happen, and tyron would be at each game, and if the guy cant handle the situation like that game with chaz, you pull him and put tyron
in.

all it takes is one "look out" block by a back up tackle to end Dak's season. Why take that chance by sitting a healthy Tyron just to try and save him for the playoffs? That would go over really well. :facepalm:
