Dallas Cowboys left tackle Tyron Smith suffered a torn left hamstring in Wednesday’s practice that could cost him multiple months of the 2022 season.
He could have surgery as soon as Thursday, pending a potential second opinion.
Smith was hurt on a running play and went to the ground as he went to make a block on linebacker Leighton Vander Esch. He was able to walk to the locker room without any help, and the initial tests indicated the ACL in his left knee was intact.

#Cowboys standout LT Tyron Smith actually suffered an avulsion fracture of the knee, meaning the hamstring tendon that sits at the back of the knee pulled off the bone and he needs surgery, sources say. If he’s back at all, it’ll be December. A tough loss.
