The Cowboys have placed guard Zack Martin on injured reserve with a calf injury. The All-Pro guard must be shelved for at least three games and this could very well mark the end of his season.
In the dreadful NFC East, the playoffs are still possible for the 3-8 Cowboys. Their late-November loss to the Washington Football Team didn’t help matters, but they could still theoretically leapfrog the first-place Giants (5-7) and the rest of the division. They’ll have their work cut out for them on Tuesday night against the Ravens, when undrafted lineman Terence Steele is expected to start in his place.
Martin has done his best work on the interior, but Steele’s poor play forced the Cowboys to reshuffle the front five a few weeks back. Before they made the swap on Nov. 22, Steele ranked as the worst offensive tackle out of 78 qualified players this season, per Pro Football Focus’ metrics.
The Cowboys will also be without cornerback Anthony Brown and safety Donovan Wilson as they look to upset Baltimore. A loss — even in the NFC East — would almost certainly take them out of the postseason conversation.
Not only is Martin done for the year,
So is Rowan.
Go FIGURE.
Both Rowan & Martin together.
If I wasn’t crying,
I’d be Laugh-In !!
The entire team needs to go on IR. Wave the white flag Cowboys!!!!
“theoretically leapfrogging into first place”…theoretically isn’t reality…..regardless of whichever teams ends up winning the East, it ain’t going to be the Cowboys….Come on Zack Links…give us a break
Cowboys need to lose out and get the best draft picks they can.
Go get Surtain or Powell
Meant Sewell. Parsons would be nice too
I think we should hold off on OT for now. work on secondary or get a lot cheaper at QB
Be restored to an even more talented Zack Martin. Be Blessed .
