Dallas Cowboys have key OL starter back on practice field Wednesday

In this story:
The Dallas Cowboys have been dealing with injuries all throughout their offense. No position has been hit as hard as the offensive line where they were without four of their five starters in Week 5 against the New York Jets.
Dallas was able to get two of their starters back in Week 6 with left guard Tyler Smith and left tackle Tyler Guyton back on the field against the Carolina Panthers. Now, it appears one more starter is nearing a return.

This would be a huge boost for the offensive line, especially considering how well Booker was playing before suffering his injury. The team's first-round pick seamlessly transitioned to the pros, and was holding his own against NFL talent.
Tyler Booker isn't the only Cowboys player potentially returning in Week 7

In addition to Booker, the Cowboys lost CeeDee Lamb to a high ankle sprain in Week 3 and he has yet to play. He's also nearing a return and could be back when they host the Washington Commanders in Week 7.

KaVontae Turpin has also been dealing with an injury, as the speedy wideout/returner has been sidelined for two games with a foot sprain. He's nearing a return as well, which could give the offense a huge spark.
If Dallas is going to have any hope of turning things around, they'll need all the help they can get on offense. Their defense has been a mess this season, so they're expected to be in several more shootouts throughout the year.
