The Dallas Cowboys' training camp in Oxnard continues to roll on, but one player who won't be a part of it for a while is left tackle Tyler Guyton.
A bone fracture will see Guyton miss between four to six weeks, and an opportunity has now presented itself for someone to come in and take starting reps at left tackle.
When the Guyton injury news hit, the first thing many stated was to shift star guard Tyler Smith out to left tackle, and then figure out guard. Granted, keeping the interior of the line together is crucial, but so is having adequate protection for Dak Prescott's blindside.
We are not even two days after Guyton's injury, but could Smith be kicked outside to tackle?
"I think it's way too early to tell on that," offensive coordinator Klayton Adams said. "Obviously, you love when players have good position flexibility, and he certainly has tons of flexibility, but that's not something that we've decided at this point."
So, we aren't there just yet, and if it were I making that decision, Tyler stays at guard, and we let the host of players in Nate Thomas, Hakeem Adeniji, and Asim Richards battle it out.
There is an argument to be made to move Smith to left tackle, because let's not forget, he was initially drafted to play left tackle and take over from Tyron Smith, so he has skins on the wall playing the position.
However, he is now such a stud at guard that the Cowboys shouldn't move him, not when his chemistry with Cooper Beebe is getting better and better.
Still, it feels like an option for Dallas, but the franchise isn't quite there yet. They want to see how the competition fares first.
