The Cowboys Must Act Now After The Tyron Smith Injury

But, he has not played any snaps with the Cowboys at that position.

It is going to be very hard to trust a rookie to stabilize Dak Prescott‘s blindside.

Especially one that has spent all training camp and preseason games as the starting left guard.

If they choose to keep Tyler Smith at guard, then Josh Ball and Matt Waletzko are the left tackle options.

It would probably be a disaster if the Cowboys decided to go that route, but the front office has not made moves that make sense this off-season.

They released La’el Collins who could stabilize the problem if he was still in Dallas.

But, now they are stuck with rookies or finding another lineman via trade or free agency.

One of those players they could trade for is Isaiah Wynn.

The Patriots’ offensive tackle is entering the last year of his contract and New England is said to be interested in trading him.

The Cowboys should jump all over that opportunity.

Wynn has been good throughout his career, and he would easily be the Cowboys’ best left tackle.

But, this move would be unlike the Cowboys.

They usually do not trade for players in the last year of their deal.

But, to trust Tyron Smith to come back from this injury would be foolish.

It is time to start looking for a new full-time left tackle and that could be Wynn.

The free agents available are Eric Fisher, Jason Peters, and Nate Solder.

While none of those options are great, at least they have all started in NFL games.

The Cowboys have one preseason game left where they should try Tyler Smith at left tackle.

If he is a complete disaster then they know it is time to make a move.

Either way, the Dallas front office has put them in this terrible position with offensive line depth.

Now they are in desperation mode with only two weeks until they open the season against Tampa Bay.
