In the final three games of the 2025 season, the Cowboys started All-Pro left guard Tyler Smith at left tackle after Nate Thomas filled in while Tyler Guyton recovered from a high ankle sprain. During that stretch, Smith sought clarity with head coach Brian Schottenheimer about the long-term plan for his role, noting he is more comfortable at guard. The Cowboys also prefer Smith at guard, and Smith indicated he is satisfied with the explanation he received and feels prepared for his future position. Separately, Caleb Downs’ arrival generated major excitement, while edge rusher Malachi Lawrence is expected to contribute early despite lower hype.
"Based on what history has shown us and everything Smith and the Cowboys have said, the likely scenario will be that the Cowboys play Smith at left guard and only move him to left tackle if it is necessary."
