Unexpected Setbacks: Tyler Guyton Out, Clowney and Ferguson’s Status Throws Team Strategy Into Chaos

Well, here we go again — the Cowboys are staggering a bit on the injury front, with left tackle Tyler Guyton sidelined for yet another week thanks to that pesky ankle problem that just won’t quit. Nate Thomas has been thrown into the fire, stepping up to fill the gap, but you can’t help but wonder about the ripple effects on the line. Meanwhile, the injury watchlist is crowded; Jadeveon Clowney looks hopeful after rejoining full practice, but Trevon Diggs’ status remains up in the air as he battles back from the knee injury that’s kept him out since Week 6. And don’t overlook Jake Ferguson—limited action after missing a session, so cautious optimism is the name of the game. It’s a lot to keep track of, and the Cowboys’ Saturday decisions could shape the weeks ahead in a big way. LEARN MORE

The Cowboys won’t have left tackle Tyler Guyton for a third consecutive week. He is out with an ankle injury that again kept him out of practice all week.

Nate Thomas has started in Guyton’s place.

The Cowboys list edge rusher Jadeveon Clowney (hamstring), cornerback Trevon Diggs (knee) and tight end Jake Ferguson (calf) as questionable.

Clowney, who missed last week’s game with his injury, was a full participant in Friday’s practice.

Diggs has not played since Week 6 and remains on injured reserve. The Cowboys will make a decision on Saturday about whether to activate Diggs from injured reserve.

Ferguson returned to limited work on Friday after missing Thursday’s session.
