Questionable
Injury Knee
Est. Return 8/22/2025
Signed a four-year, $13.16 million contract with the Cowboys in May of 2024.
Out several weeks with knee injury
Guyton is dealing with a bone fracture in his right knee as well as a sprain, but his ACL is intact and he won't require surgery, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Though Guyton's 4-to-6 week timeline for a return makes him iffy for Week 1, this is much better news than what was originally feared, as early reports indicated the offensive lineman was being looked at for a torn ACL, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. An MRI revealed a tough but less serious diagnosis, and Guyton's bone fracture is expected to heal without a need for surgery. The injury will very likely still keep him out of action for most or all of the preseason slate, and it's not certain that he will be recovered in time for Week 1 of the campaign. If Guyton misses any regular-season games, Asim Richards could be asked to step in at left tackle.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
The 29th overall pick in the 2024 Draft, Guyton has big cleats to fill as he replaces Tyron Smith at left tackle for the Cowboys. The Oklahoma product has the size and athleticism to eventually emerge as a force on the offensive line, but he could have some rookie growing pains as his skills catch up to his tools.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Ready to step up in second year
Guyton has had a strong offseason and is expected to improve in his second NFL campaign, Todd Archer of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Guyton was forced into an immediate starting role at left tackle as a rookie and looked overmatched for long stretches. He showed some progress as the season went on, particularly in pass protection, and has reportedly worked out at the team's facility this offseason and improved his diet. The Cowboys have either proven or high-pedigree options along their entire offensive line, but Guyton's ability to translate his strong offseason to the field will be a key to the unit's success.
