Urgent Cowboys Update: Star Mazi Smith’s Injury Could Derail Playoff Hopes!
SEPT 22: Mazi Update:
The Cowboys have indicated that Mazi Smith is “good to go” for today’s Week 3 game against the Ravens. However, a report from AT&T Stadium suggests otherwise. NFL Network’s Jane Slater reports that Smith’s back issue has made him a “genuine game-time decision.” This could be a big problem for the Cowboys’ defense, which is already struggling in the interior. We will keep you updated as more details emerge.
SEPT 20: Final Injury Report:
The final injury report for the Cowboys vs. Ravens Week 3 matchup raises questions on defense but offers some clarity on offense. Defensive tackle Mazi Smith is listed as questionable due to his back injury, while Pro Bowl tight end Jake Ferguson has practiced with his sore knee and was a full participant in Friday’s practice.
SEPT 19: Mazi Sidelined:
As we reported earlier, injuries to WR CeeDee Lamb and CB Trevon Diggs appear to be minor. Coach Mike McCarthy reassured that these are “not of high concern.” Jake Ferguson also practiced and is looking good for Sunday. However, Mazi Smith’s back injury kept him sidelined (DNP) for Thursday’s practice, posing a major concern for the Cowboys.
SEPT 16: Tight End Rumors:
The Kansas City Chiefs are cutting tight end Peyton Hendershot, and there are whispers of a potential reunion with Dallas. Hendershot, who was traded to the Chiefs in August, hasn’t made an impact there. With Jake Ferguson nursing a knee injury, Hendershot could return to Dallas, where he has 15 catches for 141 yards and two touchdowns in 26 games.
SEPT 15: Dak Prescott Sits as Cowboys Struggle:
Dak Prescott was benched in a 44-19 blowout against the Saints, giving way to backup QB Cooper Rush. Prescott finished with 293 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions, but the Cowboys’ performance was far from impressive.
SEPT 15: CeeDee Lamb Shines Amidst Struggles:
CeeDee Lamb delivered a highlight moment with a 65-yard touchdown to narrow the Saints’ lead to 21-13. Unfortunately, the Saints quickly responded with a 57-yard touchdown, increasing their lead to 21-3 and leaving Cowboys fans frustrated.
SEPT 15: Cowboys Fall into Trap Game:
Hopes of starting 2-0 quickly faded as the Saints, heavy underdogs, shocked the Cowboys with two early touchdowns. Alvin Kamara’s run and Rashid Shaheed’s 70-yard catch set the tone for a rough day. Despite a field goal by Brandon Aubrey, the Cowboys couldn’t keep up, falling into what many predicted to be a “trap game” for the 1-0 team.
