Former 1st-round pick, Cowboys starting LT Tyler Guyton injured, ACL tear avoided
Update: ESPN's Todd Archer is reporting that the dredded ACL tear has been avoided. Tyler Guyton is expected to miss 4-6 weeks with the injury.
The Dallas Cowboys may be facing a devastating setback just one week into training camp.
According to NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport, starting left tackle Tyler Guyton is feared to have suffered a torn ACL during Monday's practice. The former first-round pick is set to undergo an MRI to confirm the severity of the injury.
If tests confirm the tear, it would mark a significant loss for a Cowboys offensive line already navigating major transitions ahead of the 2025 season.
Guyton, the No. 29 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, played in 15 games and made 11 starts as a rookie last season, taking over as the team's starting left tackle. He was set to continue in that role entering Year 2 under a new coaching staff, viewed as a key building block in Dallas' long-term plans up front.
The 6-foot-8, 322-pound Oklahoma product went through growing pains in 2024, including allowing six sacks, 26 pressures, and committing 18 penalties, per Pro Football Focus. As a result, the team benched Guyton in favor of veteran's Chuma Edoga and Asim Richards.
Head coach Brian Schottenheimer and the front office will likely weigh in on internal options and free agent possibilities as they await MRI results.

Micah Parsons Makes 'Bizarre' Practice Decision After Trade Request
Micah Parsons Makes 'Bizarre' Practice Decision After Trade Request originally appeared on The Spun. Dallas Cowboys star Micah Parsons has been dominating the headlines at training camp because of his contract situation. Parsons is entering the final year of his rookie deal with the Cowboys. Last Friday, he shocked the NFL world by publicly requesting a trade. He released a lengthy statement on social media about how he didn't really appreciate the way the front office handled their negotiations. "I did everything I could to show that I wanted to be a Cowboy and wear the star on my helmet. I wanted to play in front of the best fans in sports and make this America's team once again," Parsons wrote. "The team my pops and I grew up cheering for way up in Harrisburg, PA. "Unfortunately I no longer want to be here. I no longer want to be held to closed-door negotiations without my agent present. I no longer want shots taken at me for getting injured while laying it on the line for the organization, our fans and my teammates. I no longer want narratives created and spread to the media about me." Despite expressing his frustration with the Cowboys, the All-Pro pass rusher continues to attend training camp. He's just not participating in any drills yet. Earlier this Monday, Parsons turned heads when he showed up to practice in his Cowboys jersey. Most people believe this is his way of showing the front office that he wants to remain in Dallas. NFL fans believe this is a foolish move by Parsons. They're convinced it'll give the front office some much-needed leverage. "Bro gonna get paid. It's all part of the show," one person said after seeing Parsons in uniform. "Just some hype for the media, it's a done deal he will be with us this season," a second person wrote. "It's all forced theater," another fan declared. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has already said that he's not worried about Parsons' trade request. "I think the world of Micah. That's just the part of negotiation. I don't really place that with any seriousness," Jones said. "I wouldn't be standing here with you if I didn't think we potentially had a great future with Micah. We're in good shape. This is negotiation. But make no mistake about it, life has to go on if something happens to me or anybody else. Life does go on. ... I would say to our fans, don't lose any sleep over this." After seeing Parsons in his No. 11 jersey this Monday, it's hard to envision him leaving "America's Team" anytime Parsons Makes 'Bizarre' Practice Decision After Trade Request first appeared on The Spun on Aug 4, 2025 This story was originally reported by The Spun on Aug 4, 2025, where it first appeared.

There Are 4 NFL Stars Holding Out At Training Camp For New Contracts
There Are 4 NFL Stars Holding Out At Training Camp For New Contracts originally appeared on The Spun. With the NFL regular season exactly a month away, there are currently four superstars holding out for new contracts. Dallas Cowboys star Micah Parsons is undoubtedly the biggest name holding out this summer. Initially, fans assumed he'd receive a deal that would make him the highest-paid non-quarterback in the NFL. However, things took a wild turn last Friday when he officially requested a trade. "Yes I wanted to be here. I did everything I could to show that I wanted to be a Cowboys and wear the star on my helmet. I wanted to play in front of the best fans in sports and make this America's team once again. The team my pops and I grew up cheering for way up in Harrisburg, PA. Unfortunately, I no longer want to be here," Parsons wrote in a statement shared on social media. "I no longer want to be held to close door negotiations without my agent present. I no longer want shots taken at me for getting injured while laying it on the line for the organization, our fans and my teammates. I no longer want narratives created and spread to the media about me." Parsons isn't the only pass rusher seeking a lucrative deal this offseason. Trey Hendrickson has been wanting an extension from the Cincinnati bengals for months. Although he hasn't attended several practices for the Bengals, he refuses to actually participate until he signs a new deal. "There are plans on not having to play on the current deal," Hendrickson said last Friday. "That's something we have a common goal to get to. That's the plan moving forward. No distractions. I am excited to be here." Moving over to the offensive side of the football, the Washington Commanders are trying to keep their best playmaker happy. After failing to secure a new deal, Terry McLaurin requested a trade from the Commanders. He made it clear that he wants to get paid "what guys of my caliber are deserving of." McLaurin had instant chemistry with Jayden Daniels last season, hauling in 82 passes for 1,096 yards and 13 touchdowns. The Commanders would be wise to keep him around. The fourth and final holdout involves Buffalo Bills running back James Cook. He has made it clear that he wants a raise before touching the field this season. "Just business," Cook said when asked about his holdout. "It ain't no side. It's just business." Bills general manager Brandon Beane told reporters he's "hopeful" that Cook will remain a member of the team for at least the next two years. "Sometimes you can't get on the same page, or sometimes you're trying to fit it in," Beane said. "There's times guys have left here that we really wanted. We just couldn't make it work. But I can tell you, I'm hopeful when we're sitting here at next year's training camp that James Cook is out there practicing and still representing the red, white and blue."
