Smith got hurt in Week 1 against LA Rams and was forced to miss the following two games. He returned in Week 4 in a loss to Cleveland Browns, only to suffer a setback that is now threatening to rule him out for the remainder of 2020.

NFL Network’s Mike Garofolo reported that Smith hasn’t practiced at all this week, and with Cowboys currently gathering medical opinions on the 29-year-old before making a final decision. 

If Smith ends up being forced to miss the rest of the season, that will be a big blow for Dallas’ offensive line that has been struggling quite a lot this year. Cowboys previously also lost right tackle La’el Collins to hip injury.

“Right now, it’s a big, big question. All things are on the table,” said Cowboys Vice President Stephen Jones when asked about Smith. “We have to look at Tyron’s best interest for his career. He’s been battling this. He’s everything you want in a man. He’s everything you want in a left tackle.”

Tyron Smith made 131 NFL starts for the Cowboys since being drafted ninth overall in 2011. He made seven consecutive Pro Bowls since 2013 and has four  All-Pro selections to his name.

So, how is this possible?

Well, for starters, the Cowboys’ defense hasn’t been carrying their part of the load, allowing 32 points on the average per contest. Secondly, Prescott hasn’t been taking care of the football, having turned the ball over four times in the first three weeks of the 2020 season.

Prescott himself acknowledged this in a recent chat with reporters, saying that he has to be „better with the ball“ moving forward.

“I have to be better with the ball,” said Prescott. “Receivers have to help me as well, whether it’s route discipline or … spacing or whatever it is.”

Still, Prescott doesn’t intend to slow down himself or his offense to clean up the turnover issues. Instead, he hopes the Cowboys will continue to play fast and up-tempo football.

“We want to play fast,” he added. “We want to play with tempo regardless if we’re up by a few (TDs) or the game’s tied or we’re down. It just gives us more opportunities on offense, more opportunities to create big plays, and score more points. I’d say the tempo is definitely purposeful.”

It’s good to see Dak Prescott wanting to play fast and put scores on the board, but it is hard to see the Cowboys making a meaningful run this season if they keep on getting into shootouts. However, if the Cowboys’ defense gets their act together, and Prescott stops taking risky shots, while they continue scoring at will, Dallas could emerge as an opponent no team wants to face in 2020.
