The Dallas Cowboys are faced with a significant challenge as Tyler Guyton recovers from a leg injury, requiring strategic contingency planning for his replacement at left tackle. Guyton, their first-round pick in 2024, had been slated for a major role, but the injury has forced the team to consider alternatives for the upcoming season.

Initially feared to be a torn ACL, subsequent assessments revealed a potential fracture, sidelining him for 4-6 weeks. Options for replacement include Asim Richards, a promising 24-year-old tackle who may offer a seamless transition. However, the Cowboys must ensure whoever steps in can hold down the position reliably, especially if tasked with starting regular season games.
