Should we be alarmed by Tyron's "not alarming" back?

[robbieruff]

His issue last year was his neck. This year its his backs. A tight back could be worst case disk issue or it could be he just got twisted up in drills.

Also I seem to remember some on these boards wanted the cowboys to go after Orr

Where did you read/hear that least year was a neck issue? I always understood it to be a back problem...

Last season?

This camp

This camp

The thread OP was about this camp IN LIGHT OF the back issues from last season. Not this year in isolation.

Why would you be worried about Smith from last season....a season in which he finished healthy and strong....and has had no real trouble this offseason?

Seems....silly. Per my point.

I could see Tyron having one of those early retirements that a lot of young players are doing now. Wouldn't shock me at all if Tyron retires before he turns 30.

During the season he had lingering issues due to stingers and bulging disc

Evidently he does have a bulging disc in his back.

Always need to worry about back issues until they prove there is no longer a reason to worry.

I think there is some concern but I also think it seems like something he can manage.


I wouldn't be surprised if Dallas gives him a lot of time off during training camp from now until he retires.

It wouldn't surprise me if they used the back as their excuse to give him lengthy rest. He has nothing to prove until September anyways.

The last sentence - yep. He "has a back issue." Literally no reason for any of those guys to worry about practicing this summer anymore when they're going to spend 5 months banging into other 300lb mutants.
