The Dallas Cowboys and Baltimore Ravens game that was originally scheduled to take place next Thursday night in Week 13 has been moved to Monday night as part of a Monday night doubleheader. That's contingent upon the Week 12 game between the Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers taking place on Tuesday night. The schedule tweak has been made out of an abundance of caution because of a COVID-19 outbreak in the Ravens organization this week. Baltimore quarterback Lamar Jackson and running backs Mark Ingram II and J.K. Dobbins tested positive for the virus and won't play in Week 12. It's unknown if they'll be cleared in time for Week 13 against Dallas. The Cowboys will have an extra long break between games after losing to Washington on Thanksgiving on Thursday.
Dallas Cowboys Pro Bowl offensive lineman Zack Martin (calf) is expected to miss three to four weeks with a calf strain that he suffered in the Thanksgiving loss on Thursday to Washington, according to a source. Based on where we are in the season, it could mean that Martin has played his last down of the 2020 season, especially if the Cowboys want him to heal fully before he returns. Left tackle Cameron Erving was also injured on Thursday and is expected to miss multiple weeks. These injuries are a huge blow to Dallas' offensive line and offense as a whole moving forward. It'll make life tougher on quarterback Andy Dalton and running back Ezekiel Elliott heading into a Week 13 matchup with the Ravens next Thursday night.
Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy said that offensive tackles Zack Martin (calf) and Cameron Erving (knee) will be out for multiple weeks after suffering injuries in the Thanksgiving loss to the Washington Football Team on Thursday. Martin was ruled out quickly on Thursday after leaving the game, and his loss will be a huge one along Dallas' offensive line. It's more bad news for the Cowboys offense in general, but more specifically for quarterback Andy Dalton and running back Ezekiel Elliott. Elliott laid an egg for his fantasy managers on Thanksgiving, carrying the ball 10 times for just 32 yards while also losing another fumble. Elliott has now lost five fumbles in 2020.
The Dallas Cowboys Defense struggled against the Washington Football Team on Thanksgiving, allowing 35 points while recording three sacks and one interception. They could have scored a defensive touchdown on that interception, but Washington wide receiver Terry McLaurin chased down Jaylon Smith and tacked him before he could reach the end zone. The Cowboys defense ended up putting up one fantasy point in this one, unfortunately only one point below their average performance this season. At this point, regardless of matchup, the Cowboys defense cannot be trusted in most fantasy lineups.
Dallas Cowboys kicker Greg Zuerlein kicked three short field goals and an extra point on Thanksgiving. His field goals came from 33, 32, and 28 yards out. Zuerlein has been good when called on this year, but has had fewer chances than expected. His Thanksgiving Day performance was solid, but he's still not being called on for too many long attempts. He could have a similar performance on another Thursday game next week against the Baltimore Ravens.
