Mike McCarthy said he doesn’t think LT Tyron Smith (neck) will practice Wednesday

[The Quest for Six]

Might not be long before Tyron is put on IR.

This is his last year with this team!!

 

[KJJ]

This is his last year with this team!!

I thought that for a couple of years with Tyron, but I think this year will be his last with the Cowboys.

I thought that for a couple of years with Tyron, but I think this year will be his last with the Cowboys.

Well, I do believe this is the last year of his contract, so there might be something to that. His extension was through 2023, but with all the restructures and such, he might have a couple years tacked on.

Sure it's bad timing, but I have a feeling Asim Richards is going to surprise us fans. I think he has potential but, of course, if he starts next week, it's going to be rough waters.

 

[Kingofholland]

I would be surprised if he's not dressed for Sunday. If he's not atleast a limited participant later this week then I would be more concerned.

 

[nightrain]

I can't believe people are surprised by this. The Cowboys should have anticipated this happening, kept Tyler at LT, and found a decent player for G/C. That way, if they felt the urge to keep Tyron, he would make a good back up. I was very surprised they came out of camp with Tyron as their starter at LT. It made no sense then and raises more questions as what the front office is doing.

This being the last year of his contract and him continuing to miss games with injuries, along with his neck acting up again, should spell the end for him with the Cowboys.

Gotta ask again….does anyone know exactly how or when this neck injury occurred?

How exactly can someone they go out of their way to protect get hurt during a bye week??

 

[Praxit]

..give Richards a chance. Big dude, that can help shield things up.

 

[CT Dal Fan]

This is not the week to put Asim Richards in at left tackle. Philly's edge rushers would be a nightmare for a rookie.

If neither Tyron or Chuma Edoga can go, I think Tyler Smith at left tackle and then maybe T.J. Bass or even Richards at guard makes better sense.

It was a flare up of an old neck injury he had a few years back. I heard he wanted to play yesterday, but the trainers weren't happy with how he reacted to pre-game checks and they made him sit.

 

[The Quest for Six]

I mentioned during the offseason that the offensive line starters should be Tyler, Edoga, Biadiasz, Martin and Steele with Tyron as the swing tackle because he just can't stay healthy!!

Why this idiocy of the organization continues is beyond incompetence

That would be "Common Sense", something this organization lacks

 

[Denim Chicken]

more whining, but most tackles miss time. Goes with the position and is not unique to Tyron as much as everyone pretends it is.

Go look at Trent Williams, Tunsil, etc...

That and not signing a veteran kicker. That was another question.

Pointed out numerous times about the kicking situation.

Their pot of good fortune was fully used up on the recovery from that one.

 

[big dog cowboy]

We're in the third year of it's time to move on. Pull the trigger.

More than likely he retires after this year. The Cowboys won't do anything before then.

If you are suggesting the Cowboys cut him before then, it's disrespectful and simply won't happen.

 

[DuceizBak]

How do you get hurt doing nothing? I'm not even mad it's literally funny haha (not that he is hurt, the ridiculousness of it all!)

Not until the season ends. For now we need the depth.
