USC’s Chuma Edoga likely out several weeks for Dallas Cowboys

Chuma Edoga’s battle to establish himself as an NFL offensive lineman took another hit in the 2024 preseason.

In the Dallas Cowboys’ NFL preseason opener, former USC offensive lineman Chuma Edoga suffered a broken toe. He is expected to miss 4-6 weeks according to On3.com.

“Chuma Edoga will have an MRI for the toe injury he suffered in the first quarter,” ESPN’s Todd Archer shared to On3.com. “Some concern internally there. Tyler Guyton seemed to handle his work at left tackle fairly well Sunday. The rookie will be asked to do more.”

Edoga has 43 career games played and 17 starts, including six last year for the Cowboys. Edoga could eventually land on injured reserve with the chance to return at some point in the regular season.

The New York Jets originally picked up the USC football offensive tackle with the 92nd pick in the third round of the 2019 NFL draft.

He appeared in 24 games with 12 starts for New York before the team waived him in 2022. He then spent that season with the Falcons, playing in two games with one start.

The Cowboys signed Edoga in 2023 and re-signed him to replace another former USC Trojan, Tyron Smith, this year.
