Tyler Guyton, the rookie left tackle for the Dallas Cowboys, suffered a left leg injury during the Thanksgiving Day game against the New York Giants, specifically affecting his ankle and knee. He was deemed questionable to return as he exited the field.

Chuma Edoga stepped in for Guyton but was penalized for a facemask on his first play. With backup tackle Asim Richards on injured reserve due to a high ankle sprain, the Cowboys faced challenges in their offensive line. At the time of Guyton's injury, the Cowboys were trailing the Giants 7-3.
