## Resource

Dallas Cowboys left guard Tyler Smith’s thumb injury sidelines him for 4-6 weeks, but veteran T.J. Bass is ready to step in—no rookie here. With 10 NFL starts, including 5 last season, and a college career built at left guard, Bass brings proven experience and a calm, game-ready mindset. Head coach Brian Schottenheimer and the staff see him as a legitimate starter, even considering him one during the offseason. Bass is up for the challenge, facing a tough Giants defense right out of the gate. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
