DALLAS — Dallas Cowboys left tackle Tyron Smith will miss the remainder of the 2020 NFL season because of a neck injury requiring surgery, head coach Mike McCarthy announced Friday.

Smith is just one of many injuries the Cowboys offensive line is facing, as right tackle La'el Collins is also out with season-ending hip surgery and center Joe Looney will miss multiple weeks with an MCL sprain.

Spending all of today working on prep work for our Friday Night Football broadcast of @TViewWolves vs. @JagFootball, after we've had two cancellations this week.

Feels like me and @footdoctor_9 are cramming for a mid-term right now, trying to learn these teams in 24 hours flat.

Smith played in the season opener before missing the next two games. He played in Week 4 versus the Cleveland Browns before Friday's announcement.

Smith missed time during the 2018 season because of a neck injury.

He has played his entire career with the Cowboys since the team drafted him with the 9th pick in 2011.
