Cowboys injury report: Ferguson ruled out, Martin listed as doubtful, Bland will play vs. Commanders

After the Cleveland Browns won in a snowy outing during Thursday Night Football against the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Dallas Cowboys have only four teams ahead them with fewer wins and currently hold the ninth pick in this year’s draft. There’s no reason to believe the Cowboys are intentionally tanking, more like they don’t have the bodies to compete and the results of what they lack is showing in the loss column. Ahead of their game against their former defensive coordinator Dan Quinn and his upstart Washington Commanders, Dallas will be without some key players this Sunday. Here’s the final injury report of the week.

#Cowboys final injury report vs. Commanders (Week 12):

DaRon Bland has no designation and, as such, is expected to make his 2024 debut.

Zack Martin doubtful, likely unable to play.

First, the good news. Daron Bland (foot) practiced full on Friday and will make his season debut against the Commanders. Tyler Guyton (shoulder) practiced fully every day this week and will play Sunday. Brandin Cooks (knee) and rookie Marshawn Kneeland (knee) were limited at Friday’s practice and are listed questionable, as were Trevon Diggs and Chuma Edoga. Jourdan Lewis (neck) and Eric Kendricks (shoulder) were also full participants today and have no injury designation heading into Sunday. CeeDee Lamb (back/foot) was upgraded to full practice Friday. Tyler Smith (ankle/knee) is questionable.

Now the bad news. After sitting out all week, All-Pro offensive lineman Zack Martin (ankle/shoulder) was absent from practice Friday and has been listed as doubtful. The concussion Jake Ferguson suffered against the Houston Texans will also keep him playing Sunday as he too has been ruled out.
