Left tackle Tyron Smith's injury before the season threw the Cowboys' offensive line into disarray. However, Jerry Jones, the team's owner and general manager, thinks the left tackle is still in good form.
On 105.3, Jones remarked The Fan noted that Tyler Smith, a rookie left tackle, stood out while making his first career start.
According to Jones, who the Dallas Morning News quoted, "Tyler Smith is the one that I'm particularly proud of." "I believe that by any standard, you have to give him credit for starting at left tackle in his first NFL game. Although we know what a prospect he is, we believe he performed admirably there.
After Tyron Smith's injury, the Cowboys signed veteran Jason Peters, but Peters wasn't ready to play in Week 1. Jones stated that Peters should be ready shortly, but who would start at left tackle is not yet known.
Jones remarked about Peters, "It depends on him evolving with his conditioning." Although he didn't have camp, I'm delighted we got him. He will have a place here. We will undoubtedly use him, possibly sooner rather than later, before we are done. He can play both tackles, but once more, I won't say more.
The guard Connor McGovern will lose time due to an injury sustained during Sunday's season opener, which is the newest issue for the Cowboys offensive line. Despite acknowledging that the offensive line is still changing at the beginning of the season, Jones said McGovern shouldn't be out for too long.
