Beebe (concussion) practiced in full throughout this week and doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports. Beebe sat out last Sunday's win over the Panthers due to a concussion, but he's good to go for Week 16 after clearing the NFL's five-step protocol. His return to action likely means T.J. Bass (thigh) will move back to a rotational role if he's able to suit up Sunday.

Set to return Week 16
Beebe (concussion) practiced in full throughout this week and doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports. Beebe sat out last Sunday's win over the Panthers due to a concussion, but he's good to go for Week 16 after clearing the NFL's five-step protocol. His return to action likely means T.J. Bass (thigh) will move back to a rotational role if he's able to suit up Sunday.
Won't be able to suit up Sunday
Beebe (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 15 matchup against the Panthers, Patrik Walker of the Cowboys' official site reports. Beebe suffered a concussion in the second quarter of Monday's loss to the Bengals and was replaced at center by Brock Hoffman, who shifted over from right guard. Meanwhile, T.J. Bass entered off the bench to fill in at right guard for Hoffman. That will likely be the Cowboys' alignment again Sunday with Beebe unable to suit up.
Enters concussion protocols
Beebe has entered concussion protocols and has been ruled out for the second half of Monday's game against the Bengals, RJ Ochoa of SB Nation reports. Beebe took a hit to the head in the second quarter of Monday's game and was diagnosed with a concussion during halftime. He'll have to clear the league's five-step concussion protocols in order to play against the Panthers in Week 15. Brock Hoffman has shifted over to center while T.J. Bass chas come in at right guard.
Making push for starting job
Beebe saw the majority of first-team reps at center during Tuesday's practice, Nick Harris of DallasCowboys.com reports. Brock Hoffman began training camp penciled into the starting center job, but Beebe has come on strong and the duo is now alternating who gets the bulk of the first-team reps each day. Beebe, selected in the third round of the 2024 Draft out of Kansas State, is likely the player Dallas is hoping will win the job of replacing Tyler Biadasz in the middle of the offensive line, but he will need to earn it.
