Left tackle Tyron Smith will sign a one-day contract with the Dallas Cowboys and retire after 14 NFL seasons, NFL Network reported Tuesday.

Smith, 34, played 13 seasons in Dallas before spending last year with the New York Jets.

He is an eight-time Pro Bowl and five-time All-Pro selection -- two first-team and three second-team choices, including a second-team nod in 2023.

Smith was selected by Dallas with the ninth overall pick of the 2011 NFL Draft out of Southern California.

He has not played more than 13 games in a season since 2015 due to injuries. He played in just two in 2020 (neck surgery), 11 in 2021 (ankle injuries) and four in 2022 (torn hamstring). Smith missed the last seven games in 2024 with a neck injury.
