Dallas Cowboys offensive tackle Chuma Edoga suffered an injury during the team's preseason opening loss to the Los Angeles Rams, and was reportedly in a boot after the game.

Edoga is set to get an MRI on the injured foot.

Chuma Edoga will have an MRI for the toe injury he suffered in the first quarter. Some concern internally there. Tyler Guyton seemed to handle his work at left tackle fairly well Sunday. The rookie will be asked to do more.

Archer notes there is "some concern" about the injury, which means Tyler Guyton could be pushed into the starting role and never look back.
