2 years agoDallas Cowboys left tackle Tryon Smith (hamstring) suffered a torn left hamstring in training camp practice on Wednesday. This was further clarified to be an avulsion fracture of the knee, meaning the hamstring tendon at the back of his knee was pulled off. The former All-Pro will reportedly require surgery and is expected to be out until at least December. This is a massive blow to the Cowboys offensive line. The 31-year-old is one of the best in the game, evidenced by a grade of 90.2 in 2021, which was the second-highest behind only Trent Williams, according to Pro Football Focus. This will force Dallas to lean on other less talented options, which may include rookie Tyler Smith. This figures to have a negative impact on their rushing attack and pass protection, primarily affecting lead back Ezekiel Elliott and quarterback Dak Prescott, both of whom may see a small dip in production. Hopefully, the former first-round pick can get back on the field and help his team down the stretch.--Josh Constantinou - RotoBaller
