In a highly anticipated divisional matchup, the Dallas Cowboys face potential vulnerabilities on their offensive line as they prepare to take on the Philadelphia Eagles. With standout guards Tyler Smith and Zack Martin providing a solid interior, the Cowboys' tackles have raised concerns among fans and analysts alike.

The right tackle position, occupied by Terence Steele, presents the most immediate worry for the Cowboys. Steele courageously returned to action this season after suffering a devastating knee injury last December, tearing his ACL, MCL, and MPFL. Despite his remarkable recovery, doubts regarding his stability and lateral movement persist. Notably, Steele struggled against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 5, and his matchup against the Eagles' Haason Reddick is expected to be a tough challenge.

On the left side, left tackle Tyron Smith's availability has become a recurring issue. Smith, once a stalwart who only missed one game in his first five seasons, has been plagued by injuries in recent years, missing a total of 45 games over his last seven full seasons. With a laundry list of ailments ranging from his back, neck, elbow, knee, groin, ankle, and more undisclosed concerns, Smith's durability has become a concern for the Cowboys. Although he was held out of Week 8's game against the Rams due to ongoing pain from a stinger, Smith is expected to return for the clash against the Eagles. However, his performance against premier edge rusher Josh Sweat could put him at a disadvantage.

Amidst these uncertainties, the Cowboys' special teams units remain a constant source of strength. While the Eagles boast an impressive 3rd ranking in special teams DVOA this season, the Cowboys' special teams consistently prove to be formidable year after year.

As the Cowboys gear up to face a rejuvenated Eagles team, the health of their offensive line looms as a crucial factor. The interior, anchored by quality guards, will provide formidable resistance for the Eagles' defensive line. However, the vulnerabilities at the tackle positions pose potential challenges that the Eagles' pass rushers are likely to exploit. In addition, the battle of special teams units is expected to add an exciting element to the divisional showdown.

Both teams will seek to capitalize on their strengths while exploiting the weaknesses of their opponents, making for an intriguing matchup that fans won't want to miss. Kickoff is set for Sunday, and all eyes will be on the offensive line battles and the ever-important special teams clash as both teams look to secure a critical victory in their quest for divisional dominance.
