The Dallas Cowboys take on the Arizona Cardinals Sunday afternoon in Week 3 at State Farm Stadium without some starters in the lineup. Cornerback Trevon Diggs was placed on injured reserve with a torn ACL. That was expected.
They will also be without two starting offensive linemen. Center Tyler Biadasz and guard Zack Martin were among the Cowboys’ inactive players.

- S Israel Mukuamu
- CB Eric Scott
- C Tyler Biadasz
- G Zack Martin
- WR Jalen Brooks
- DL Viliami Fehoko
- QB Trey Lance
Lance is the team’s designated third quarterback and could be active if both Dak Prescott and Cooper Rush were to get hurt.
Left tackle Tyron Smith was also questionable for the game as a late addition to the injury report on Saturday. He will suit up.
Brick Hoffman likely will get the start at center and T.J. Bass could start at right guard in place of Martin.
DaRon Bland replaces Diggs in the secondary.
So the Cowboys will have an injury-depleted offensive line against the Cardinals’ injury-depleted defensive line, as Arizona’s two best interior defenders, Carlos Watkins and L.J. Collier, are on injured reserve after needing biceps surgery.
