FEATURED Tyler Smith Is Out 4-6 Weeks

Sea Bass gets his shot.

This is why I can't trust the Cowboys anymore. Their all-pro LG is dealing with a thumb injury all of training camp and they wait until the first week of the season to have the surgery? And listen to their false optimism. They hope an excellent surgeon and his history of healing quickly will mean 4 weeks or 4 games rather than 6. How about the Cowboys history of underestimating the recovery time? To me 4-6 weeks is 6 to 8 in Dallas.

Convince me it wasn't dumb to not get the surgery immediately considering he is a veteran and he wasn't going to play in the preseason anyway. Then he opens the season missing maybe 2 games instead of 6.

I hear all the chatter about TJ Bass is their best backup. Maybe, but he is still a backup and he is far from the caliber of player Tyler Smith is. AND, he is playing next to Tyler Guyton, the player we all hope has improved tremendously because in the past he has been pretty disappointing.

Forgive my frustration but this is just typical of the Cowboys and their losing ways. When it comes to injuries nothing they say can be trusted. I will thinking 8 or 9 weeks. That way I won't be disappointed if he isn't back in 4 to 6.

It’s always something. I wish there was a better explanation.

It’s been an issue all camp. They just didn’t notify the public.

Not to fear, you’ll get another update this afternoon and four more tomorrow from the Fan and the rest of the locals.

Ol Jerry better get his beauty rest , so he can be ready for his camera time and press interviews. I realize Ol Jerry has been quiet here lately but this move looks like an Ol Jerry dumb, dumb special to me. This screams bonehead move, should have had your all pro guard in surgery weeks ago.
 
This is good, lets see what our coaching staff does.

For some teams this isnt even a blip. Lets see waht the boys do ok?

The hope is no surgery. I think they held out hope for no surgery and just wasn’t healing like they thought or hoped it would. To me this seem standard for nfl teams but I don’t want to say that without knowing the full details.
