The Dallas Cowboys could face the Browns without two more of their starters

The Dallas Cowboys have struggled with injuries through the first three weeks of the regular season. Names like linebacker Leighton Vander Esch, cornerback Chidobe Awuzie, right tackle La’el Collins, tight end Blake Jarwin, and linebacker Sean Lee all currently reside on the Injured Reserve list.

Without several of their key players, the Cowboys have struggled out of the gate, losing two of their first three games of the season. Fortunately, their record of 1-2 is still good enough to be tied for first in the NFL’s worst division, the NFC East.

With the 2-1 Cleveland Browns set to visit AT&T Stadium this Sunday, injuries will hinder both teams in the Week Four matchup. For the Cowboys, three players made an appearance on their final injury report on Friday.

Defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence made the report due to a lingering knee injury. After not practicing at all on Wednesday or Thursday, Lawrence was listed as limited during Friday’s regeneration day. According to the report, Tank is set to play on Sunday.

Two other Cowboys were listed as questionable though. Starting left tackle Tyron Smith is dealing with a neck injury (stingers) and did not practice on Wednesday. Smith was able to be a limited participant for the rest of the week.

The other starter designated as questionable for the team’s matchup against the Brown is rookie cornerback Trevon Diggs. The second-round selection is dealing with both a shoulder and a knee injury. And after being a full participant during Wednesday’s practice, Diggs was limited the rest of the week.
