The Dallas Cowboys ruled out right guard Zack Martin and cornerback Trevon Diggs with injuries on Saturday, one day prior to a road game against the Washington Commanders.
Martin has been dealing with ankle and shoulder injuries and didn’t practice at all this week before initially being listed as doubtful to play on Friday. He also physically struggled during Monday night’s loss to the Houston Texans.
Martin, who turned 34 on Wednesday, has started all 162 games played in 11 seasons with the Cowboys. He’s a nine-time Pro Bowl selection and a seven-time first-team All-Pro.
Diggs has been dealing with groin and knee injuries. He was listed as questionable on Friday before being downgraded Saturday.
Diggs, 26, has 37 tackles and two interceptions in 10 games this season. The two-time Pro Bowl pick led the NFL with 11 picks in 2021 and has 20 in 57 games.
The Cowboys elected not to activate receiver Brandin Cooks (knee) for the game. He returned to practice earlier this week and he was listed as questionable on Friday.
Dallas activated offensive tackle Chuma Edoga (toe) and defensive end Marshawn Kneeland (knee) off injured reserve Saturday, placed safety Markquese Bell (shoulder) on IR and released defensive end KJ Henry.
Tight end Jake Ferguson (concussion) was previously ruled out. Tight end Princeton Fant was elevated from the practice squad to replace him. Cornerback Kemon Hall also was elevated from the practice squad.
