Cowboys' Tyler Guyton Offers 3-Word Injury Update As Eagles Week 1 Looms

Dallas Cowboys left tackle Tyler Guyton was having himself a positive offseason and training camp until the injury big sunk its teeth into him.

Suffering a bone fracture in his knee that most initially thought was potentially an ACL injury, Guyton got lucky, and instead of being out for the entire season, a timetable of between four and six weeks landed.

Having been in rehab for the past couple of weeks, there is growing optimism that Guyton might be ready for Week 1 against the Philadelphia Eagles.

But how's he feeling now that the Cowboys have returned to The Star?

"I'm feeling good," Guyton said. "Every day is getting better, but I'm going to leave that [starting Week 1] to them to decide, [the] training staff."

So that is a positive update, and it shouldn't shock us one bit because we have heard head coach Brian Schottenheimer mention multiple times how hard Guyton is attacking his rehab and how focused he is on getting better.

But how has he seen himself deal with this level of adversity just as things were starting to roll?

"I'm treading lightly and understanding that everything happens for a reason, and this is not a bad thing that's just happened to me," Guyton added. "This is something that's happened before to other players, and people push past it. It's just going to take time, and it takes the right headspace to move past and like wiggle your way through these situations. So, I'm being mindful about everything and I'm trying to stay focused."

So, things appear to be moving in the right direction for Guyton, but Dallas won't rush back its starting tackle.

We have stated that maybe a Week 2 return against the New York Giants feels like a more plausible return date, but Tyler certainly isn't ruling himself out of Week 1.

Granted, there are still a couple of weeks to navigate, but if things continue trending the way they are, Dak Prescott might have his starting left tackle on the field in Philadelphia.
