The Dallas Cowboys enter the 2026 season with a reshaped offensive line depth chart after evaluating competition during training camp. While the starting lineup remains consistent with Tyler Guyton, Tyler Smith, Cooper Beebe, Tyler Booker, and Terence Steele, the team has taken steps to mitigate injury concerns. The organization traded Nate Thomas to the Houston Texans and acquired Broderick Jones from the Pittsburgh Steelers to challenge for the right tackle position. T.J. Bass emerges as a primary interior reserve, while Ajani Cornelius continues to develop as a guard. Coaching staff contingency plans include moving Tyler Smith to left tackle should Tyler Guyton require an extended absence. These shifts address the inconsistency shown by the unit during the previous season when multiple starters missed significant time due to injury.
- •Broderick Jones joined the roster from the Pittsburgh Steelers on August 29.
- •Nate Thomas was traded to the Houston Texans following his unsuccessful bid at right tackle.
- •T.J. Bass holds versatility as a primary backup for interior positions.
- •The Cowboys identified Tyler Smith as the emergency option for left tackle.
