The Dallas Cowboys moved Tyler Smith to injured reserve and cleared rookie Ashton Jeanty for practice on Sept. 9, 2026, as reported in the NFL.com news roundup. NFL.com’s roundup listed both moves together, signaling the team's immediate adjustment to its line roster.
Yet the offensive line picture remains fluid; NBC Sports noted backup guard Ajani Cornelius was limited in practice, and Yahoo Sports reported the Cowboys’ recent signing of a former $40 million Jets free‑agency bust, adding uncertainty to line depth. The incoming player, described as a former $40 million Jets free‑agency bust, is expected to compete for a backup spot.
