Dallas Cowboys All-Pro left guard Tyler Smith underwent minor cleanup surgery on his right knee following the Pro Bowl, sources confirmed. The procedure addressed an issue that first flared up during training camp but didn't prevent Smith from playing in 16 games during the 2025 season.

Smith, who dressed but didn't play in the win against the New York Jets, is now two-plus weeks removed from surgery and expected to be fully healthy before the Cowboys' offseason program begins in April. The 2022 first-round pick has been named to the Pro Bowl in each of his first three seasons, missing only five games total in his NFL career.

Last year, Dallas made Smith the highest-paid interior offensive lineman in the league, signing him to a four-year, $96 million extension. His durability and consistent performance have made him a cornerstone of the Cowboys' offensive line, and the team will be counting on his full recovery as they prepare for the upcoming season.
