The beloved offensive tackle, known for his strength and resilience on the field, has shared that his 7-year-old son, Jayden Smith, is battling a rare and serious medical condition.
The news broke on Tyron Smith’s official Instagram account, where he posted a touching message and a photo of him holding his son’s hand in a hospital bed.

💔 The NFL Community Rallies Around Tyron Smith and His Son
Shortly after the post went live, the Dallas Cowboys organization changed their social media banners to an image of Tyron and Jayden with the caption: “#PrayForJayden – We Stand With The Smith Family.”
In an emotional press conference, Head Coach Mike McCarthy appeared visibly shaken:
“Tyron is more than a player. He’s a father, a leader, and the heart of this team. We are all praying for his family right now.”
NFL stars including Dak Prescott, Micah Parsons, and even legends like Troy Aikman and Emmitt Smith have posted their support. The hashtag #PrayForJayden has since gone viral, trending at #1 across X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, and Facebook in under an hour.
🧠 Unconfirmed Reports: A Rare Neurological Condition?
While the Smith family has not disclosed the exact diagnosis, several unofficial sources close to the family have reported that Jayden may be suffering from a rare neurological condition, possibly Pediatric Acute Neuroinflammatory Syndrome (PANS) — a disorder that can affect a child’s motor skills, behavior, and speech. Some even speculate he may require emergency brain surgery in the coming days.
A nurse at Children’s Medical Center Dallas, under condition of anonymity, said:
“We’ve never seen the Cowboys family so united around one of their own. The love pouring into this hospital is unreal.”
🤬 Fake Rumors Spark Outrage Online
As support poured in, so did false rumors and insensitive clickbait articles claiming Jayden had already passed away, or that Tyron Smith was retiring from the NFL. These baseless stories were quickly denounced by the Smith family, who urged fans:
“Please do not spread lies. Jayden is still fighting. This is a time for love, not gossip.”
Fans responded swiftly, reporting fake posts and rallying behind the official #PrayForJayden campaign.
🙏 Thousands Join Together in Prayer
Social media is now filled with touching tributes, videos of fans and children holding signs that say “Stay Strong, Jayden”, and emotional messages from families who have been inspired by the Smiths’ courage.
“I’m not even a Cowboys fan, but tonight, we’re all one team. All for Jayden,” one X user wrote.
Churches, schools, and even stadiums across Texas are organizing prayer vigils and lighting candles in support.
🏈 Will Tyron Smith Leave the NFL Season?
With the 2025 NFL season underway, questions have been raised about whether Tyron will take an indefinite leave to be with his family. Although nothing is confirmed, sources close to the Cowboys suggest that the team will offer full support no matter what decision he makes.
“Family comes first. Always,” said Cowboys owner Jerry Jones in a brief statement.
