Cowboys injury report: Trevon Diggs, CeeDee Lamb miss practice with injury

As the Dallas Cowboys pick themselves up from the rubble after a demolition by the New Orleans Saints, the team looks introspectively for answers to some of their biggest questions: How did the defense, led by Micah Parsons, allow five consecutive scoring drives by halftime? How did Dallas surrender a QBR of 99.4 to Derek Carr? Or how did the Cowboys allow 22.1 yards per reception?

The Cowboys will now face a Baltimore Ravens team this Sunday. Before we dive into the injury report, Dallas made one injury transaction this morning.

#Cowboys roster transactions:

Jordan Phillips to IR (wrist) and will miss a minimum of four games.

Carlos Watkins signed to the active roster as a replacement, returning to Dallas, poached from the Commanders practice squad.

Carlos Watkins should step in and provide the team with support in stopping the run better than what happened against New Orleans.

Here is the Wednesday practice report for the Dallas Cowboys and Baltimore Ravens:

– It’s a back injury for Cowboys DT Mazi Smith who was seen walking off the practice field

– CB Trevon Diggs (foot) and WR CeeDee Lamb (ankle) DNP

Defensive tackle Mazi Smith left practice today with an injury that was characterized as a back injury. Trevon Diggs (foot) and CeeDee Lamb (ankle) did not practice today. The severity of injury for Diggs and Lamb has not been released, but at this point there doesn’t seem to be a lot of worry.

Jake Ferguson worked into team activities still nursing a knee injury suffered in the home opener against the Cleveland Browns and earned the limited designation; a great sign for Ferguson. As for John Stephens Jr., he’s was limited with a hamstring injury. Hopefully, one of them can be healthy enough to return this week against Baltimore. The Ravens have allowed the second-most yards to tight ends (90).

For the Ravens, offensive linemen Ronnie Stanley (ankle) and Malaesala Aumavae-Laulu (personal) were absent from Baltimore’s practice. Their secondary was also without a few notable names. Safety Kyle Hamilton (back) did not practice nor did cornerback Jalyn Armour-Davis (personal). Coach Jon Harbaugh says that he expects Stanley to play although he did not practice Wednesday. Finally, versatile linebacker Kyle Van Noy was also not at Ravens practice.
