NFL News: Dallas Cowboys lose another key player with big injury for almost half of 2024 season

The Dallas Cowboys lost another crucial player with a big injury. Bad news for Dak Prescott.

The Dallas Cowboys are having a lot of difficulties before the 2024 season. First, Dak Prescott won’t get a contract extension from Jerry Jones and is on the verge of becoming an unrestricted free agent.

Furthermore, injuries are piling up just a few days before the opener against the Cleveland Browns. It all started when cornerback DaRon Bland went down with a left foot stress fracture. One of the best defensive players in the NFL is out for at least six weeks.

Now, things got more complicated for the Cowboys in their quest to win the Super Bowl. A crucial member of the offense won’t be available during the initial part of the schedule.

Chuma Edoga has been officially placed on Injured Reserve by the Dallas Cowboys. At first, that would only mean that the offensive lineman is out for four weeks, but, things are worse.

Edoga has a toe injury which occurred during the preseason game against the Los Angeles Rams. The Cowboys’ medical staff expects his return after the bye week. That would be October 27 facing the San Francisco 49ers.

The absence of Chuma Edoga is a tremendous hit for the Dallas Cowboys as he was projected to be a starter. He was supposed to replace Tyron Smith after the star left tackle signed with the New York Jets.
