If you were hoping the Dallas Cowboys could leave behind their misfortune with injuries from this past season, then we have some bad news for you.

At the beginning of the week, the team got the best of the worst news when it was revealed that starting left tackle Tyler Guyton avoided an ACL tear, but still suffered a bone fracture that could cause him to miss the start of the NFL regular season.

With Guyton's absence, there is a new battle to become the starting left tackle; however, veteran lineman Hakeem Adeniji, a former Super Bowl starter, will have to wait to enter the battle as a new injury has popped up on the Cowboys' list.

If there's one position where you can't afford a laundry list of injuries, it is at the offensive line. But the show goes on. Even without Guyton, the Cowboys will need to keep the train rolling into the regular season.
