Why are you here? Are you unaware that the Dallas Cowboys didn’t make the playoffs? They don’t even have a head coach at the moment… Come on, man. I know it was a difficult year, but if you checked out in October I know you didn’t just resurface thinking that the club turned things around and made it farther than they have in 33 years. Did you?

Yikes.

Okay, because we’re friends, here’s an update on the high-visibility Cowboys who had season-ending injuries.

QB Dak Prescott, hamstring: Prescott’s recovery is ongoing, but he is expected to be ready for OTAs.

DE Sam Williams, ACL: Williams was hurt in training camp, which means he will miss OTAs but should be able to participate in at least a portion of 2025 camp if there are no setbacks.

DE DeMarcus Lawrence, foot: There was speculation that Lawrence might return at the end of 2024, which leads to speculation the free agent will be on some team’s field for OTAs in 2025.

LB DeMarvion Overshown, ACL, MCL, PCL: Overshown’s injury was catastrophic and it was first thought he would likely miss all of 2025, but after surgery there was some hope he could return in the midst of the regular season.

CB Trevon Diggs, articular cartilage: Diggs’ knee injury robbed him of the back end of the season and is reported to keep him out of the lineup through the offseason schedule and training camp, with a hopeful return by the start of the regular season.

OG Zack Martin, Ankle: Martin is a nine-time Pro Bowler and contemplated retirement prior to the 2023 season. As a free agent, he might sit out the spring and wait to sign with a team until later in the year, if at all. That might not have anything to do with his ankle.
