As the Dallas Cowboys prepare for their Thanksgiving Day showdown with the New York Giants, the team has released its final injury report for the week, and it’s clear they will be shorthanded once again.
Key Injuries Heading into the Game
The Cowboys will be without two key contributors for Thursday’s game. Future Hall of Famer Zack Martin, one of the anchors of the offensive line, has been officially ruled out. His absence is a significant blow, especially given the Giants’ defensive line. Martin’s leadership and consistency will be missed in the trenches.
Also sidelined is star tight end Jake Ferguson, who has been a key part of the Cowboys’ offense this season. His absence leaves a hole in both the passing game and blocking schemes.
Other Injury Concerns
Several other players are still dealing with injuries, including cornerback Trevon Diggs, who will be a game-time decision. Diggs’ potential absence adds further uncertainty to a Cowboys defense already missing key players. With Diggs’ playmaking ability in the secondary, his status will be one to monitor closely as kickoff approaches.
Defensive tackle Marshawn Kneeland is also listed as doubtful. His availability would provide depth to the defensive line, but with him uncertain, the Cowboys’ defensive front will need to step up.
Kickoff Set for 4:30 p.m. ET
The Cowboys will kick off against the Giants at 4:30 p.m. ET on Thursday afternoon, hoping to bounce back and keep their playoff hopes alive despite the injuries. With key players out and others uncertain, it will be an uphill battle, but the Cowboys’ depth and resilience will be put to the test.
As Dallas looks to move past a tough season and secure a win in front of the home crowd, the final injury report leaves plenty of questions heading into this critical division matchup. Fans will be hoping for the best as their team faces off against the Giants on Thanksgiving Day.
