Mike Moraitis· Aug 6, 2026
Moraitis writes that the Cowboys' left tackle competition is effectively over and Tyler Guyton will start at left tackle in Week 1, with Nate Thomas a longshot; if Guyton falters in 2026, Tyler Smith would be the replacement.
“While Guyton is almost certainly going to be the starter Week 1, we would not automatically assume he's safe all season.”
