New York Jets offensive tackle Tyron Smith (neck) has been placed on Injured Reserve on Saturday. This doesn't come as a surprise given interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich hinted at this move earlier in the week. The Jets don't appear to be going anywhere this season and they aren't going to rush the veteran tackle back to the field. The expectation is that Olu Fashanu will continue getting a look at left tackle down the stretch of the season. The Jets did use the No. 11 pick on Fashanu, so they might as well see what they have in him.
Per Rich Cimini of ESPN, New York Jets offensive tackle Tyron Smith (neck) will have an MRI exam early this week, according to interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich. Smith picked up a neck injury in the Jets' 31-6 loss to the Arizona Cardinals this past Sunday. As reported by Cimini, the 33-year-old had played every snap for the Jets this season before picking up the injury. The severity of the veteran's ailment is unknown at this time, but if he were forced to miss more action, it'd be a massive blow to New York's offensive line. Rookie offensive tackle Olu Fashanu took over for Smith when he went down, and the first-round pick projects to stand in for the eight-time Pro Bowler again if he cannot suit up for the team's Week 11 home tilt against the Indianapolis Colts.
New York Jets offensive tackle Tyron Smith (neck) was injured in the Week 10 game on Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals and is doubtful to return. Meanwhile, cornerback Brandin Echols (concussion) suffered a concussion and has been ruled out. The Jets are getting absolutely manhandled on both sides of the ball in the desert against the first-place Cardinals on Sunday, and now they will probably be without both Smith and Echols for the rest of the game. With Smith unlikely to return to the second half, Olu Fashanu is expected to take over starting duties the rest of the way at right tackle. The 33-year-old Smith is an eight-time Pro Bowler and will be a big loss for the Jets' offensive line if he's forced to miss time beyond Week 10.
The New York Jets are expected to sign former Dallas Cowboys All-Pro and Pro Bowl left tackle Tyron Smith, according to a source. Smith will become the team's new blind-side protector for quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who will be returning in 2024 after tearing his Achilles in Week 1 of last season. The Jets have made it a point to upgrade their offensive line this offseason so they can do a better job of keeping Rodgers upright in the pocket, adding left guard John Simpson, right tackle Morgan Moses, and now Smith. The 33-year-old Smith, the former ninth overall selection by the Cowboys in 2011 out of USC, is an eight-time Pro Bowler, although he hasn't played a full season since 2015. But when he's been healthy, Smith has proven to be one of the better left tackles in the league, so the signing is a big plus for Rodgers and the Jets offense.
Dallas Cowboys All-Pro and Pro Bowl left tackle Tyron Smith will be a free agent this year and is unlikely to return to the Cowboys, according to sources. The former ninth overall pick has been the team's starting left tackle since 2011, and he's expected to be highly coveted on the open market this offseason. The 33-year-old veteran has made the Pro Bowl eight times and has also been named a first-team All-Pro twice, but injuries have taken their toll on him in recent seasons. Smith played in 13 regular-season games in 2023 but hasn't played in more than that amount of games since 2015. It remains to be seen how Dallas plans to replace Smith at left tackle in 2024, but it will be something to watch for quarterback Dak Prescott's protection after his career year in 2023.
Dallas Cowboys left tackle Tyron Smith (neck) is officially active for Week 9 versus the Philadelphia Eagles. He had been listed as questionable after practicing in a limited capacity on Friday. The presence of Smith is key for the Cowboys as they look to compete with the NFC East-leading Eagles, and it bodes well for the fantasy values of Jalen Hurts and D'Andre Swift.
The Dallas Cowboys have ruled left tackle Tyron Smith (knee) out for the Week 4 game on Sunday against the New England Patriots. Smith didn't actually miss the Week 3 upset loss to the Arizona Cardinals, but he didn't play at all and stayed on the sidelines, so he'll effectively be missing his second straight contest. Not having the 32-year-old All-Pro left tackle on quarterback Dak Prescott's blind side isn't ideal against a pretty strong Patriots defense. Expect Chuma Edoga to make another start for the Cowboys this weekend. Smith has played 19 games since the start of 2020 and has missed 35 games, including this week. All-Pro right guard Zack Martin (ankle) and center Tyler Biadasz (hamstring) are questionable, but the team is optimistic they will be able to play.
The Dallas Cowboys are working on a contract extension to bring eight-time Pro Bowl offensive tackle Tyron Smith back for a 13th season, which could include a restructured contract, according to sources. Smith is due $13.6 million in 2023 in the final year of his deal. Some have predicting the Cowboys to potentially move on from Smith this offseason after he played in just four games in 2023 due to an avulsion fracture in his left knee. The 32-year-old recently had a cleanup procedure and will be hoping to be ready for training camp this summer. The former ninth overall pick in 2011 has played in a combined 17 games the last three years and has become much harder to rely on for Dallas' O-line.
Dallas Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones expects offensive tackle Tyron Smith to be back with the team in 2023. "The biggest takeaway from our meetings was you can't have enough of these guys," Jones said. The Cowboys have three starting-caliber options at offensive tackle between Tyron Smith, Tyler Smith and Terence Steele, which is why Tyron Smith has been a potential salary cap casualty this offseason. The 32-year-old missed the first 13 games of the 2022 season due to an avulsion fracture in his left knee, and he recently had surgery to fix a minor knee injury earlier this month. If Tyron Smith is going to remain in Dallas moving forward, he's going to have to restructure his contract.
Dallas Cowboys eight-time Pro Bowl offensive tackle Tyron Smith (knee) may have played his last snap with the team. If he does return, though, Smith could return to the left tackle spot and play Tyler Smith at left guard, which was the plan going into last season. However, Tyron Smith's inability to stay healthy has led to Tyler Smith showing he's the best long-term option for Dallas at left tackle. The 32-year-old Tyron Smith had surgery to address a minor knee injury this offseason, and he missed the team's first 13 games in 2022 due to an avulsion fracture in his left knee that he suffered in training camp. Cutting Tyron Smith would save around $10 million in salary cap space. He's played in just 17 games in the last three years for the Cowboys.
