An already disappointing 2020 season has taken a devastating turn for the worse for the Cowboys.
Starting left tackle Tyron Smith will undergo surgery to deal with an ongoing neck issue, head coach Mike McCarthy announced on Friday morning. Smith will miss the remainder of the season.
It’s become official, just speaking to everybody involved. Tyron will continue the process of going through surgery. This is a correctable situation. He obviously will not be available the rest of the season. Clearly, the focus is on him personally. I think the surgery is scheduled for next week, Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy.
Smith missed the second and third games of this season with stingers, but returned last week to play all 82 offensive snaps in the team’s loss to Cleveland.
But more missed practices this past week led to medical consultations, which have now convinced the seven-time Pro Bowler to shut it down for the year.
Now the club will be forced to continue to shuffle linemen, as they have all season long, as they simultaneously deal with the absence of starting right tackle La’el Collins and center Joe Looney
