Trevon Diggs, Tyron Smith suffer Week 8 injuries in Cowboys win over Vikings

The Dallas Cowboys left their journey to Minnesota with a sixth-straight win, however they did not leave uninjured. Throughout the second quarter of the contest they to an ankle joint injury. Smith was detailed on the method report as limited throughout the week with the ankle joint, and he was unable to finish the very first half.

Then, on the video game's last drive, cornerback Trevon Diggs had his leg crashed right into, harming his ankle too.

The even worse injury news seems related to. Cox was wounded on unique teams as well as it appears his period may be over as a result of an ACL tear.

The game's hero, WR Amari Cooper, remained in and also out of the schedule on the game-winning drive. While capturing two huge targets to obtain Dallas right into racking up setting, consisting of one off the defender's chest, he remained to go to the sideline as well as work with a hamstring massager to attempt and also obtain the troublesome muscular tissue to react. At one factor, he laid on the ground rolling over a neon softball to try and exercise the kinks.

Suffering from a myriad of injuries, as usual, Cooper returned to the field to catch the game-winning rating, a five-yard discolor into the back-left corner of completion area with 0:55 left in the game.

Obviously, the Cowboys played the game without starting quarterback Dak Prescott. Prescott tried his aching calf bone, injured on the game-winning play in New England in Week 6, however returned to the locker room and also was ruled non-active a couple of hrs prior to the game started.

It is anticipated Prescott will certainly be available to face off versus the Broncos in a week, but the standing of Smith as well as Diggs will certainly require additional examination.

Diggs was replaced by second-round newbie Kelvin Joseph, who made his professional debut on Sunday night after missing the first six video games with a groin injury suffered in the final preseason game.

Smith was changed by professional Ty Nsekhe, who had a couple very shaky minutes but calmed down in time for the winning drive. La'el Collins returned from suspension yet was not put into the video game when Smith headed out.
