Despite earlier indications from Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer and Smith himself that he would play left guard, Smith recently stated he wasn’t sure if he would be at guard or tackle. This uncertainty comes amidst major NFL news, including Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive tackle Vita Vea’s trade request, which could have ripple effects on future contract negotiations for Cowboys defensive tackle Quinnen Williams. NFL news also includes Micah Parsons’ PUP list status and Malik Nabers’ recovery from an ACL tear that could impact their availability in regular season games against the Cowboys.
Today’s Cowboys Report audience questions:
– Where should Tyler Smith play? Type ‘T’ for Tackle or ‘G’ for Guard
– Do you want to extend Quinnen Williams? Type ‘Y’ for Yes, ‘N’ for No
Dallas Cowboys offensive lineman Tyler Smith’s position for the upcoming season remains a key Cowboys rumors item. While Achottenheimer and Smith previously indicated he would play left guard, Smith recently expressed uncertainty about his role at training camp, stating, “We’ll see what happens. Ultimately, Schotty makes those decisions. Where I do line up, I’m going to be at the best of my ability.” Cowboys Report host Tom Downey argues that Smith’s optimal position is left guard and that changing this plan without prior communication or actual gameplay would be a mistake for the organization. Downey believes the plan should still be for Smith to play left guard, potentially moving to left tackle only if Tyler Guyton is a disaster or gets hurt.

Beyond the video, there’s a world of Cowboys news waiting! For all the latest updates and fan discussions, check out:
Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive tackle Vita Vea has requested a trade just before training camp, creating a significant development in the NFL. Vea was a hold-in during minicamp, and contract talks between him and the Buccaneers are reportedly not progressing well. The Cowboys are not expected to pursue a trade for Vea, given their current defensive tackle depth with Quinnen Williams and Kenny Clark already in place. But Vea’s eventual large contract, whether with the Bucs or another team, is anticipated to influence future contract negotiations for other top defensive tackles. This could directly impact the Cowboys’ own players, particularly Quinnen Williams, who is also due for a new deal.
