Dallas Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer announced that Tyler Guyton will be the starting left tackle after one padded practice at training camp. Schottenheimer indicated that Guyton, who has started 21 games over two seasons, has shown enough promise to hold the position, while Nate Thomas needs to improve for further opportunities. This decision comes as the Cowboys aim to support quarterback Dak Prescott and enhance their offensive line following two consecutive playoff absences. Guyton's performance will be crucial as the team looks to regain competitiveness in the upcoming season.
