Summary
Dallas Cowboys gear up for their season opener against the Giants, hoping to rebound from last year’s 7-9 record. The offense, led by Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb, is key—but so is the elite interior offensive line, anchored by Pro Bowl left guard Tyler Smith, who’s on a $96M extension. However, Smith missed Monday’s first practice and rehab sessions, sparking concern. Though durable throughout his career, this absence is unusual—no official injury report yet. Backup T.J. Bass, re-signed this offseason and ready at center, could fill in if needed, keeping the Cowboys’ game plan intact.
