Dallas Cowboys Face Injury Crisis at Training Camp – Key Starters Sidelined, Roster Depth in Jeopardy
The Dallas Cowboys are experiencing a nightmare scenario at this year’s training camp as a wave of injuries sweeps across the roster, leaving several key positions in serious trouble.
Most recently, offensive guard Rob Jones, a player expected to push for a starting spot, suffered a dangerous neck fracture and is expected to miss several months. As the team scrambled to adjust, rookie OT Tyler Guyton — a high draft pick — fractured his knee and will be sidelined for 4 to 6 weeks. The coaching staff admitted they are “extremely concerned” about his recovery.
Things worsened when Tyler Smith, the All-Pro left guard, was diagnosed with knee tendinitis and is being held out of practices for further evaluation. His absence adds to a thinning offensive line that’s already stretched to its limit.
On defense, cornerback Shavon Revel Jr. has re-aggravated a previous knee injury and is expected to miss extended time. Caelen Carson also suffered a hyperextended knee, while Trevon Diggs is still working his way back from his 2023 ACL injury and hasn't returned to full form.
The team’s running back group was hit even harder when newly signed RB Parris Campbell — formerly with the Eagles — suffered a season-ending injury. With limited depth, the Cowboys are reportedly exploring emergency options, including testing WR CeeDee Lamb at running back.
The season hasn't even started, but the Cowboys are already dealing with a growing injury list that could derail their playoff hopes. If things don’t turn around soon, the team may be forced to rethink their entire depth chart before Week 1.
