In the upcoming clash against the Jets this Sunday, the status of four pivotal players hangs in the balance, as indicated by the final injury report released on Friday. The stage is set, but the players’ readiness remains uncertain – leaving viewers eagerly awaiting the final call on their participation.

Leading the concerns are Tyler Smith and Donovan Wilson, both grappling with their respective injuries – Smith nursing a hamstring issue, while Wilson battles a calf ailment. It’s a disheartening déjà vu, as these two were absent in last week’s triumphant encounter against the Giants.

Cowboys injury update: Four question marks for Sunday battle vs. Jets

As the Dallas Cowboys released an injury report on September 15, the situation is somewhat brighter for wide receiver Brandin Cooks and guard Zack Martin. Cooks, nursing a knee ailment, was listed as questionable. Notably, he missed Friday’s walk-through practice. In contrast, Martin, dealing with a groin concern, was also tagged as questionable but managed to participate, albeit with limitations, for the second consecutive day.

The stakes are high as the team approach Sunday’s game. Should Cooks be sidelined, per the Dallas website, we can anticipate Jalen Brooks stepping up, while Jalen Tolbert might see an expanded role. In Martin’s absence, rookie T.J. Bass is poised to take the reins as the starting right guard.
