Why Cowboys will be without Tyler Guyton vs. Chiefs. Dallas Cowboys Face Key Injury Setback Ahead of Thanksgiving Day Showdown Against Chiefs
On Thursday afternoon, the Dallas Cowboys will host a Thanksgiving Day matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs, looking to get above .500 for the first time this season. The Cowboys are coming off a thrilling comeback victory over the Philadelphia Eagles on Thursday in a game in which they trailed 21-0 at one point but stormed back to win.
Unfortunately, on Wednesday, the Cowboys got a tough injury update regarding one of the key members of their offensive line ahead of the Chiefs game.
“#Cowboys OT Tyler Guyton (high-ankle) is out,” reported Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network on X, formerly Twitter.
Earlier in the day, Rapoport had also given a key update on some Kansas City players prior to the game.
“#Chiefs G Trey Smith, TE Noah Gray, and CB Chris Roland-Wallace are out for Thursday's game vs the #Cowboys. Meanwhile, RB Isiah Pacheco has no injury status and is back,” he reported.
Overall, the Cowboys could certainly have used Guyton to help give quarterback Dak Prescott as much time as possible against a Chiefs pass rush that has rounded back into form in recent weeks, particularly in their win on Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts in overtime.
Still, if the Cowboys can come out of the gates with the energy and execution that they displayed in the second half against the Eagles, it's certainly not off the table that they could spring the upset against the Chiefs.
In any case, the Cowboys and Chiefs are slated to kick things off on Thursday at 4:30 pm ET.
The Broncos’ are missing production from key players rewarded this offseason
The Denver Broncos put a lot of effort this offseason into improving their team. Extensions were handed out to Courtland Sutton, Nik Bonitto, and Zach Allen. Big-name free agents Evan Engram, Dre Greenlaw, and Talanoa Hufanga were signed.
We’ve definitely seen some impact from Bonitto, Allen, and Hufanga so far this season.
What concerns me is that Courtland Sutton and Evan Engram have been ineffective on offense, and Dre Greenlaw has yet to suit up for a game.
The Broncos need playmakers to show up and can’t afford to just pay good money to players that aren’t impactful.
Evan Engram is getting outperformed by Adam Trautman at Tight End.
Courtland Sutton is getting outperformed by 2nd year wide receiver Troy Franklin.
Dre Greenlaw is getting outperformed by every linebacker on the roster.
I do think some level of patience is needed. This is only two weeks into the season, after all. I do think every one of these players can make a significant impact in helping the Broncos win games. They are talented players who are top players in their positions after all.
