On Friday, head coach Brian Schottenheimer noted X-rays were negative, but he did not have an answer about whether or not Guyton would miss any time.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-2\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"a4\">Well, now we have that answer, as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/nfl\/story\/_\/id\/50173775\/week-6-buzz-fantasy-predictions-graziano-fowler-2026#notes\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">ESPN&#8217;s Jeremy Fowler<\/a> reports that the MRI came back clean on Guyton&#8217;s back and he is not slated to miss any time.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-3\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"a9\">&#8220;And Cowboys left tackle <a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/nfl\/player\/_\/id\/4609048\/tyler-guyton\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Tyler Guyton<\/a> tweaked his back Thursday night against Tampa Bay, but his MRI came back clean and he&#8217;s not expected to miss any time,&#8221; Fowler reported.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-4\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"ae\">The Cowboys are fortunate this week in the fact that they&#8217;ve had three extra days of rest because their last game was on Thursday night, so that gave Gutyon more time to get right.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-5\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"aj\">Dallas will put out its first injury report of the week on Wednesday, so we&#8217;ll have a clearer picture of where Guyton is then.

Guyton&#8217;s 73.8 overall grade is 15th at the position.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-12\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"bq\">Guyton&#8217;s most impressive performance came in Week 3 against the Houston Texans, when he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/nfl\/cowboys\/onsi\/dallas-cowboys-breakout-star-just-shut-down-two-of-nfl-best-pass-rushers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">squared off with two of the best<\/a> pass-rushers in the NFL in Danielle Hunter and Will Anderson.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-13\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"bv\">In 32 snaps against Hunter, Guyton gave up two pressures. In eight against Anderson, just one pressure. Neither player was able to sack Dak Prescott in those 40 combined snaps.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-14\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"c0\">Has he been perfect? No, of course not, but Guyton has been far better than at any point over his first two seasons in the NFL and that&#8217;s about all the Cowboys could have hoped for.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-15\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"c5\">\u2014<a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/nfl\/cowboys\/newsletter\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Sign up for the Cowboys Daily Digest newsletter<\/a> for more free coverage from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/nfl\/cowboys\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Dallas Cowboys on SI<\/a>\u2014<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.minutemediacdn.com\/platform\/google_discover_icon.svg\" class=\"shrink-0\"\/>Add us as a preferred source on Google<a aria-label=\"Follow si.com on Google News\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/preferences\/source?q=si.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" preventdefault:click=\"\" class=\"flex h-[30px] w-[30px] shrink-0 items-center justify-center rounded-full bg-primary font-group-large text-sm font-medium text-white transition-colors hover:bg-secondary focus:bg-secondary md:w-auto md:gap-2.5 md:px-4 md:py-[5px]\" on:click=\"q-l5kbpl5_.js#s_lDqay9E5m5g[0]\" q:id=\"cb\">Follow<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Dallas Cowboys saw multiple players get injured during the Week 5 debacle against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers,&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":465971,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[102,104,103],"class_list":["post-465970","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-dallas","tag-dallas","tag-dallas-headlines","tag-dallas-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/465970","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=465970"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/465970\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/465971"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=465970"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=465970"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=465970"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
