Dallas Cowboys offensive tackle Trysten Hill received a two-game suspension on Monday for violations of unnecessary roughness and unsportsmanlike conduct rules following the Thanksgiving loss to the Las Vegas Raiders in overtime last Thursday. Hill punched Raiders guard John Simpson following last week's game. Hill is appealing the ruling, which would allow him to play this Thursday night against the New Orleans Saints. If the decision stands, he wouldn't be eligible to return until Dec. 19 on the road against the New York Giants.
The Dallas Cowboys fear that defensive tackle Trysten Hill (knee) suffered a torn ACL in his right knee in the Week 5 win over the Giants, according to multiple sources. Hill will undergo an MRI exam on Tuesday, and if tests confirm the diagnosis, he'll land on Injured Reserve and miss the rest of the season. He started the first five games of the season after playing sparingly in his rookie season last year. Hill has 14 tackles, one tackle for a loss and five quarterback pressures in 2020. Without him, the team has Dontari Poe, Antwaun Woods and third-round rookie Neville Gallimore at defensive tackle. It's potentially more bad news for a Cowboys Defense that has really struggled through five weeks this year.
