The Dallas Cowboys faced a tough setback in the Week 2 home opener, suffering a 44-19 defeat to the New Orleans Saints. To add to the team’s woes, Dallas is grappling with injuries, as several key players were either limited or did not practice during Wednesday’s practice.
Among the players who did not participate were Mazi Smith, who exited practice due to a tightened back; CeeDee Lamb with an ankle injury, though he is still expected to play on Sunday; and Trevon Diggs was out with a foot injury, which will be important to monitor in the coming days.
Other players, like Brandin Cooks, Eric Kendricks, DeMarcus Lawrence, Jourdan Lewis, and Zack Martin, were marked as limited, primarily for rest purposes.
Although Zack Martin was also listed due to a knee concern, it’s reassuring to see him included for vet rest.
Not listed on the injury report is Jordan Phillips, who was placed on IR with a wrist injury, making Mazi Smith’s back issue even more concerning for the Cowboys’ depth.
Other players who were limited, including Jake Ferguson, Malik Hooker, and John Stephens Jr., are all expected to be available for Sunday’s game.
