Jerry Jones: Cowboys 'Want to Look from Within' for Tyron Smith Injury Replacement

The Dallas Cowboys intend to explore their internal options to find a starting left tackle in the wake of Tyron Smith's injury.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones told reporters on Friday they "want to look from within" for Smith's replacement.

"That's the smartest and logical way to do it," Jones said. "... This gives us a chance to get a lot of reps, we got to learn to play with these younger guys, and we will. Our skill players will take up some of the slack."

Smith could miss the entire 2022 season after suffering an avulsion fracture in his left knee during Wednesday's practice, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
