Edoga went down with an elbow injury in the team's 30-10 win over the Jets in Week 2, but he appears ready to go for Sunday's contest with Arizona. With starting center Tyler Biadasz dealing with a hamstring injury, it's possible Edoga draws a start in Week 3 if Dallas shuffles their offensive line.

Edoga went down with an elbow injury in the team's 30-10 win over the Jets in Week 2, but he appears ready to go for Sunday's contest with Arizona. With starting center Tyler Biadasz dealing with a hamstring injury, it's possible Edoga draws a start in Week 3 if Dallas shuffles their offensive line.
Smith missed the team's 30-10 win over the Jets in Week 2 while dealing with a hamstring injury, but he appears ready to go prior to Week 3. He'll return to his starting role at left guard against the Cardinals on Sunday.
Biadasz will reportedly undergo an MRI to determine the extent of the injury. Dallas will have to wait on the results of those tests for any certainty, but his status for Week 3 is obviously now in question.
The fourth-year cornerback had played a vital role in the Dallas defense's spectacular start to the season, forcing two turnovers while breaking up three passes through the first two contests. However, after going down with the knee injury during Thursday's practice and suffering from ligament damage, Diggs will soon undergo season-ending surgery. Jane Slater of NFL Network relays that the Cowboys plan to cover for Diggs' absence by moving DaRon Bland to the boundary corner spot opposite Stephon Gilmore, while Jourdan Lewis likely takes over as Dallas' slot corner.
Coach Mike McCarthy relayed to Todd Archer of ESPN.com earlier Thursday that Cooks would be "good to go," but such a statement doesn't always equate to all activity during a given practice. Cooks was able to handle every rep Thursday, setting himself up to contain his DNP streak to one game due to a MCL sprain. Friday's injury report will unveil whether or not he goes into the weekend with a designation for Sunday's contest at Arizona.
Diggs sustained the injury in a 1-on-1 drill during the early portion of practice and was spotted moving about with crutches as he exited the Cowboys' team facility. He's expected to undergo an MRI later Thursday or early Friday, and if his medical tests confirm the team's worst fears, he'll be lost for the season. Even if the MRI yields more favorable news, Diggs still seems likely to miss this Sunday's game at Arizona, at a minimum. For however long Diggs is sidelined, Daron Bland and Jourdan Lewis should be primed to step into larger roles in the Dallas secondary.
The extent of Diggs' injury won't be known until the results of the MRI are read, but his status for Sunday's game in Arizona -- and potentially beyond -- is uncertain after he was spotted exiting the Cowboys' facility while using crutches to move about. Per Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News, Diggs' injury occurred during the 1-on-1 period early on during Thursday's session. The fourth-year cornerback has gotten off to a solid start to the 2023 campaign, recording four tackles, breaking up three passes and forcing two turnovers (an interception and a forced fumble) through Dallas' first two games.
Martin exited the team's Week 2 win over the Jets late with the injury and did not practice Wednesday, so this is a step in the right direction for the veteran guard. However, if he were to be unable to play Sunday, Chuma Edoga (elbow) and T.J. Bass would be potential starters at right guard against the Cardinals.
