Cowboys' left tackle battle remains unsettled, says Brian Schottenheimer
Brian Schottenheimer told a San Antonio show that the left tackle spot for Dallas is still open, despite earlier reports naming a starter.
Brian Schottenheimer appeared on San Antonio's Sports Star and said the Dallas Cowboys have not yet confirmed a starter at left tackle. He noted that Tyler Guyton remains without an official designation, countering earlier reports that declared him the winner. Schottenheimer emphasized that his prior remarks were intended to indicate Nate Thomas needs to perform better for the contest to be genuine.
The same message was reiterated during Thursday's pre-practice press conference. Observers suspect the team is using the competition narrative as a motivational tool. The ongoing uncertainty leaves fans unsure of the final depth-chart at the position.
Why it matters
The decision affects the Cowboys' offensive line stability and could influence the team's performance this season.
