It’s just not going to be the Cowboys year in any way shape or form. Already teetering on the brink of disaster, the club received a couple doses of additional bad news on Saturday. After declaring the first questionable and the second doubtful, the team ruled out both RG Zack Martin and CB Trevon Diggs from Sunday’s Week 12 matchup with the Washington Commanders.
Martin’s absence was expected, but losing Diggs means that once again, Cowboys fans came tantalizing close to finally seein the boundary cornerback duo of All-Pros with DaRon Bland finally set to make his season debut. Bland’s debut also comes along with the return of two others who were activated from IR on Saturday.
OL Chuma Edoga (toe) is expected to make his season debut, and rookie edge Marshawn Kneeland (knee) will play for the first time since Week 5. The Cowboys sent safety Markquese Bell (shoulder) to IR to help create space on the roster, and then waived DE KJ Henry. Dallas also elevated two players from the practice squad, TE Princeton Fant and CB Kemon Hall.
Got all that? Here’s a look at the complete roster ahead of Sunday’s action.
