Cowboys Announce Internal Discipline for Tyler Guyton After Punching Eagles Defender — Stephen Jones’s Strategy May Help Avoid NFL Suspension

Dallas, TX — September 7, 2025

The Dallas Cowboys moved quickly to address the fallout from Tyler Guyton’s viral punch on Eagles defender Jalyx Hunt. Rather than wait for the NFL to hand down its ruling, the organization has imposed its own internal discipline — signaling both accountability and an effort to keep its offensive line intact.

Team officials confirmed that Guyton has been fined $25,000 internally, an amount representing a significant portion of his weekly salary. The fine will be directed toward charitable initiatives tied to the franchise, including the Cowboys Care Foundation.

Guyton must also deliver a formal public apology — either at a press conference or through a verified social media statement — directed toward Hunt, the Eagles, and the league as a whole.

In addition, the rookie left tackle will be required to complete three weeks of community service, contributing time to programs such as Cowboys Care, children’s hospital visits, and anti-violence outreach — highlighting the organization’s focus on accountability and rehabilitation over simple punishment.

By acting swiftly, the Cowboys reframed the controversy as an opportunity to reinforce discipline and community values. League insiders suggest that such proactive internal action often persuades NFL officials to reduce or even forgo additional suspension, potentially preserving Guyton’s availability for critical upcoming matchups.

Executive Vice President Stephen Jones once again demonstrated his steady hand in crisis management. By combining fines, public accountability, and meaningful community work, Jones positioned the Cowboys as both responsible and strategic — directly addressing the issue while seeking to protect the team’s roster.

This approach is not without precedent. In 2018, the Steelers had Antonio Brown issue a public apology to minimize further sanctions, while in 2021, the Eagles directed Lane Johnson to engage in mental health initiatives during his absence — proving that decisive internal discipline can be an effective shield against harsher league penalties.

Eagles Head Coach Announces A.J. Brown To Start On The Bench For Standout Rookie After Poor Performance vs. Broncos
  Philadelphia, PA — the Philadelphia Eagles’ head coach confirmed that A.J. Brown will start on the bench in Week 6 against the New York Giants, with the boundary starting spot going to rookie WR Taylor Morin—an undrafted signing out of Wake Forest who flashed through rookie camp and the preseason. The decision follows an underwhelming offensive showing against the Denver Broncos, where several snaps highlighted the unit being out of sync between Brown and Jalen Hurts. On a midfield option route, Hurts read Cover-2 and waited for an inside break into the soft spot, while Brown maintained a vertical stem and widened to the boundary to stretch the corner. The ball fell into empty space and the drive stalled. On a separate red-zone snap, a pre-snap hot-route signal wasn’t locked identically by the pair, resulting in a hurried throw that was broken up. The staff treated it as a reminder about route-depth precision, timing, and pre-snap communication—the micro-details that underpin the Eagles’ offense when January football arrives. Starting Morin is part of a plan to re-establish rhythm: the early script is expected to emphasize horizontal spacing, short choice/option concepts, and over routes off play-action to probe the Giants’ responses. Morin—who has shown strong hands in tight windows and clean timing in the preseason—should give the call sheet a steadier platform, while Brown will be “activated” in high-leverage downs such as 3rd-and-medium, two-minute, and red zone to maximize his body control, early separation, and the coverage gravity that can force New York to roll coverage. Facing the tough call, Brown kept his response brief but competitive:“I can’t accept letting a kid take my spot, but I respect his decision. Let’s see what we’re saying after the game. I’ll practice and wait for my chance. When the ball is in the air, everyone will know who I am.” Operationally, the staff is expected to streamline the call sheet between Hurts and Brown: standardize option-route depths, clearly flag hot signals, and increase game-speed reps in 7-on-7 and team periods so both are “seeing it the same and triggering the same.” Handing the start to Morin also resets the locker-room standard: every role is earned by tape and daily detail—even for a star of Brown’s caliber. If Brown converts the message into cleaner stems and precise landmarks—catching the ball at the spot and on time—the Eagles anticipate early returns: fewer dead drives, better red-zone execution when back-shoulder throws and choice routes are run “in the same language,” and an offense that regains tempo before taking on Big Blue. With Taylor Morin in the opening script, Philadelphia hopes the fresh piece is enough to jump-start the attack from the first series.
