Dallas Cowboys offensive lineman Chuma Edoga has a toe injury that will keep him sidelined for at least a month, the team announced Tuesday.
Edoga, currently the starting left tackle on the Cowboys’ depth chart, was injured in the first quarter of the preseason opener on Sunday, a 13-12 loss to the host Los Angeles Rams. He wore a walking boot afterward and had an MRI on Monday with no determination on surgery, ESPN reported.
Edoga started six of the 17 games he played at guard in 2023 for Dallas, his first with the Cowboys. He re-signed with the team in April on a one-year contract.
The New York Jets selected him in the third round of the 2019 NFL Draft out of Southern California. He played tackle for the Jets from 2019-21, appearing in 24 games and starting 12. Edoga played two games (one start) for the Atlanta Falcons in 2022 before going on injured reserve.
The Cowboys selected offensive tackle Tyler Guyton out of Oklahoma in the first round (29th overall) of the 2024 draft after losing eight-time Pro Bowl tackle Tyron Smith in free agency to the New York Jets in March.
Dallas opens the regular season on Sept. 8 at the Cleveland Browns.
