The Dallas Cowboys’ defense, already ravaged by injuries this season, faces a new setback with the unexpected absence of a key defensive player at Wednesday’s practice. Initially shrouded in mystery, the injury has since been revealed as a calf issue, sparking immediate concern within the team. The defender, who had only recently returned after missing significant time last year, now joins a growing list of sidelined stars that includes some of the team’s biggest playmakers.

According to sources, the defender will remain with the rehab group, casting doubt on his readiness for the upcoming game. It’s a blow to a Cowboys defense that has already been stretched thin with multiple starters, including other high-impact players in the secondary and line, dealing with various injuries.
With a challenging stretch of games on the horizon, the Cowboys’ defensive lineup will have to step up and find ways to adapt quickly. This latest setback, however, adds even more weight to the already daunting task of shoring up a weakened defense.
