Dallas Cowboys All-Pro LG Tyler Smith To Miss 4-6 Weeks Due To Thumb Surgery

Three-time Pro Bowler Tyler Smith will have thumb surgery and is expected to be placed on IR, missing at least the first four games.
Undrafted lineman T.J. Bass is slated to start at left guard — he’s made 10 career starts for Dallas.
Smith’s loss is a notable blow to the Cowboys’ strong offensive line just before Sunday night’s season opener vs. the Giants.
