Dallas Cowboys offensive lineman Tyler Smith (knee) is active for Week 5 on Sunday against the hosting New York Jets, according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram's Nick Harris. Although Smith will be active despite not practicing all week, he will not start at left guard this weekend. Instead, the Cowboys will roll with Hakeem Adeniji at left guard. Keep in mind that the Cowboys are already without offensive guard Tyler Booker (ankle) and offensive tackle Tyler Guyton (concussion) against the Jets. Although Dallas could certainly end up winning this game comfortably, the absences of Booker and Guyton leave the Cowboys' offense much more vulnerable on the road as they go for their second win of the 2025 season. In addition to Booker and Guyton being out, Dallas is also without receivers CeeDee Lamb (ankle) and KaVontae Turpin (foot).

Dallas Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer said Sunday that guard Tyler Smith is "hopefully the next one to get done" for an extension with the club, according to Ian Rapoport. It was a busy week for Dallas, which controversially shipped edge rusher Micah Parsons to Green Bay and signed defensive back DaRon Bland to an extension. The first-year coach said he's hopeful Smith, an All-Pro at guard, could follow. The Tulsa product is still on his rookie deal, with the club holding a fifth-year option through 2026.

Dallas Cowboys left guard Tyler Smith (hamstring) is optimistic that he can play in the Week 1 regular season opener this Sunday night against the New York Giants. "He says he feels really good. He's very optimistic," head coach Mike McCarthy said. Smith won't practice on Thursday and will rehab off to the side with director of rehabilitation Britt Brown as part of a return-to-play procedure. The 22-year-old injured his hamstring in practice earlier this week and was diagnosed with a strain, but the Cowboys aren't ruling him out of Sunday night's game. If Smith can't practice by Saturday, then the Cowboys will likely move Chuma Edoga into the starting lineup.

An MRI exam confirmed that Dallas Cowboys left guard Tyler Smith (hamstring) suffered a hamstring strain in practice on Monday, according to a person with knowledge of the injury. However, owner Jerry Jones said on Tuesday that he was confident that Smith would be ready to go for the Week 1 regular season opener against the New York Giants on Sunday. It will depend on how the 22-year-old second-year offensive guard recovers from the injury and how much he's able to do in practice leading up to Sunday's game this week. If Smith is unable to go, rookie fifth-rounder Asim Richards would likely step in as the starter at left guard for the Cowboys.
