Cowboys Rookie Tackle Tyler Guyton Sidelined with Bone Fracture: Recovery Timeline Uncertain
The Cowboys are facing a real headache with rookie tackle Tyler Guyton sidelined after picking up a bone fracture in training. Guyton had been making a real push for a starting spot, so this injury comes at a bad time for both him and the team.
On X/Twitter, @TheCowboysNet recently shared a tweet like:
"Good news for the Cowboys! After an MRI, it was confirmed that rookie tackle Tyler Guyton's ACL is intact. He suffered a bone fracture but thankfully won’t need surgery. His recovery time is estimated to be around 4-6 weeks, which is a positive development for Dallas."
Another X/Twitter @AdamSchefter shared a recent tweet. He wrote:
"Tyler Guyton, the Cowboys' left tackle, has had an MRI revealing that his ACL is intact, according to @toddarcher. He’s dealing with a bone fracture, but thankfully, surgery isn’t needed. His expected recovery time is around 4-6 weeks."
At first, there was some worry that the injury could keep him out for quite a while. The medical team is keeping close tabs on him, making sure he takes his rehab seriously. While there’s some chatter among team insiders that Guyton might bounce back sooner than expected, there are no promises — and if he’s out for long, that’s a big blow for the offensive line.

"According to @ToddArcher, Cowboys offensive tackle Tyler Guyton's ACL is intact after undergoing an MRI. He has a bone fracture that won’t require surgery and is expected to be out for 4-6 weeks."
Coach Mike McCarthy hasn’t given a clear timeline, only pointing out that getting Guyton healthy is their priority right now. Fans had been looking forward to seeing him build off his strong showings in minicamp. Now, there’s a lot of talk about who might step up if he needs more time.
With Guyton’s status uncertain, the Cowboys’ backup tackles could find themselves called upon sooner than anyone thought. The team hasn’t said exactly when Guyton might return, but they’ll keep fans posted as things progress.
Until then, everyone’s hoping the rookie recovers quickly. The coaching and medical staff are set on guiding him back carefully, not rushing things, and making sure he’s fully ready before he’s back on the field.
