“Cowboys Injury Updates: Mazi Smith’s Status Uncertain, Key Players Limited Ahead of Ravens Clash”
September 23 – Following the Dallas Cowboys’ 28-25 loss to the Ravens, the biggest blow may be to their pride. The Monday injury report, released early due to the Cowboys’ upcoming Thursday night game against the New York Giants, shows DeMarcus Lawrence limited with a shoulder issue. Defensive backs Markquese Bell (ankle) and Caelen Carson (shoulder) did not practice.
September 22 – The Cowboys initially indicated that Mazi Smith would be ready for the Week 3 game against the Ravens, but a recent report suggests otherwise. NFL Network’s Jane Slater says Smith’s back problem makes him a game-time decision, which is troubling for Dallas’ already struggling defensive line.
September 20 – The Cowboys have released their final injury report for Week 3 against the Ravens. Defensive tackle Mazi Smith is listed as questionable due to a back injury, but tight end Jake Ferguson, recovering from a knee issue, participated fully in Friday’s practice.
September 19 – Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy downplayed the severity of injuries to WR CeeDee Lamb and CB Trevon Diggs, calling them “minor.” Jake Ferguson (knee) also participated in practice, boosting his chances to play on Sunday against the Ravens. However, Mazi Smith’s status remains uncertain.
September 16 – The Kansas City Chiefs have released tight end Peyton Hendershot, possibly paving the way for his return to Dallas. Hendershot, who was traded to the Chiefs in August, has not made an impact as a backup to Travis Kelce. Dallas could be interested, given Jake Ferguson’s short-term knee injury.
