Cowboys News: Smith’s injury shakes things up in a bad way, Gallup hope continues

A hamstring injury for Tyron Smith, Michael Gallup off the PUP list and Mike McCarthy flipping his opinion on Oxnard training camp. The latest news rounded up by @CDBurnett7

The return to The Star after spending training camp in Oxnard hasn’t been a good one for the Cowboys. Dallas lost their star left tackle on Wednesday to a “severe” left hamstring injury that could derail his 2022 season for multiple months. This leaves Matt Waletzko at the position, forcing the Cowboys into the trade market.

On the bright side, wide receiver Michael Gallup is starting the 2022 season off of the PUP list, signifying a potential return in the first four games of the season for the newly-extended receiver.

Dallas found their kick returner for the foreseeable future in wide receiver KaVontae Turpin, and Bob Sturm breaks down the electric returns in SoFi Stadium while looking forward for the USFL MVP.
