Dak Prescott was leading the Dallas Cowboys into the playoff picture ahead of their matchup against the Detroit Lions.

The Cowboys were looking to continue their push for the postseason in Week 14 when they faced one of the top teams in their respective conference on "Thursday Night Football."

While Dallas was heading into the game on fire, riding a three-game win streak, they were halted by one of the best offenses in the league, starring quarterback Jared Goff.

As the Cowboys look to prepare for their next matchup, with the rest of the season looking like must-win scenarios, Dallas owner and general manager Jerry Jones shared his opinion on an important injury update for offensive lineman Tyler Guyton.

Jones revealed that he believes Guyton is set for a return in their next matchup, set to play the Minnesota Vikings on "Sunday Night Football" in Week 15.

Tyler Guyton is listed as the Dallas Cowboys' starting left tackle, serving as the protector for quarterback Dak Prescott's blind side. While he's an important part of the Cowboys' offense, Guyton has missed time with an ankle injury.

Guyton is currently playing in his second season with the Cowboys.

The Texas native has made an impact early in his career in Dallas, meaning a potential return would mean big news for Prescott and the offense, featuring wide receivers CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens.
