Tyler Smith Health, Injury Updates & History

Smith was activated from injured reserve ahead of Thursday's matchup against Tampa Bay after recover...

Smith could return in Week 5 as he continues recovering from a procedure to repair the thumb injury suffered near the start of the season, the Cowboys guard is making progress but the short turnaround ahead of Thursday’s matchup could push his return back another week

Smith is expected to miss four to six weeks and will likely land on injured reserve within the coming days as he is set to undergo surgery on his injured thumb

Recovered from a knee issue that required a minor cleanup procedure after the 2025 season, Smith enters training camp with no reported limitations. Despite the late-season knee flare-up, he appeared in 16 of 17 games and his strong durability history remains a positive indicator that the injury should not impact his 2026 outlook.

Smith has been limited in practice throughout the season due to a lingering knee injury but has missed only one game, no reason to expect he'd miss Week 12

Limited in practice on Thursday with a knee injury, Smith opened the week as less than 100 percent Thursday, but he'll have two more chances to up his participation to full at practice before Monday night's matchup with the Cardinals

Listed as questionable for Week 8 with a lower body injury, Guyton’s status for Sunday’s game remains uncertain due to a lower-body injury that surfaced on Thursday’s injury report. He was limited in the final two practices of the week.

Hasn't practice all week due to a knee injury, currently listed as questionable

Smith did not appear on Monday's first injury report of the 2025 campaign, officially moving past the knee injury that bothered him in early August

The guard missed Week 12 with an ankle sprain; otherwise was fully healthy for the Cowboys' offensive line in 2024. He’s young, so there’s not much concern for season-long issues for Smith at this time.
