## Resource

Dallas Cowboys’ star left guard Tyler Smith, a three-time Pro Bowler, is sidelined for at least four weeks after thumb surgery, forcing backup T.J. Bass into the starting role. With the team’s offensive line already under pressure heading into Week 1 against the Giants, Smith’s absence hits hard — especially with his quick-healing reputation offering hope for a swift return. Coach Schottenheimer confirms this was a long-term issue now addressed, while Bass, who’s seen action at center last season, must step up immediately against a tough Giants front seven. The Cowboys, aiming to build on last year’s success, face an early-season test without one of their offensive captains.
