Tyron Smith back spasms

[Hawkeye0202]

Oh boy......he's probably ok for now but could this be the seed for issues in other games going forward? Certainly, something to keep an eye on....


Tyron Smith - T - Cowboys
Cowboys LT Tyron Smith missed practice Wednesday with back spasms.

Coach Jason Garrett said he is hopeful Smith can practice Thursday. Back spasms are not a long-term concern, but the Cowboys will likely be cautious considering Smith's injury history. Atlanta's pass rush is anything but fearsome, but they did sack Dak Prescott eight times last season with Smith out of the lineup.

I hope other players don't get any Tyron's, I mean back spasms.

 

[Blackthorn]

Tyron has had back issues for a while. He is a beast when he’s playing, and there’s a huge drop off when he is not. This is why I want Connor Williams in Frederick healthy. You can’t have too many game ready linemen.


I keep reliving the nightmare from when he didn’t play last season. This year will be different, the Cowboys will win.

Remember that time Tony Romo had a "cyst removed from his back" yeah... feels like the same thing as this.

 

[America's Cowboy]

Every year his lower back (discs) gives him problems and affects his play and performance, yet every year he refuses to have surgery to fix his lower back.

 

[Reality]

I'm starting to wonder if he hates playing in Atlanta ...

At some point, that dog is going to bite us in the axx (lol)

So tempted to move La’el Collins to left tackle, especially since he’s actually Left Handed....

 

[Direwolf63]

Tyron is now 3 years into periodic back spasms.

I suspect he will be dealing with this on and off for the remainder of his career.

Came back to practice today. Reports made it seem like it was a small flare up and they just wanted to be extra cautious. Didn't sound like they expected anything serious or him missing games.

His life.

He is no longer a beast even when he plays. This Oline really needs complete overhaul other than Martin.

 

[The Quest for Six]

Maybe we will use our first round pick next year to select Smith's replacement/insurance policy,.....oh wait!

True on the left handed, but he can’t even handle the right side. He’s probably our most overrated player

Time to resign Chaz!!

You so ugly...

Probably because he’s a lefty. He played LT in college and did very well...

 

[Ranching]

You so ugly...

I get prettier at closing time, I start to look like a movie star.

 

[SlammedZero]

Does Atlanta do a Curse the Tyronnosaurus ceremonial dance every season?

Was surprised when I looked him up and he was the 5th highest paid RT in football.

Lack of quality/consistent tackles is a benefit to an at best average player like Collins.
