The Dallas Cowboys could be missing four defensive players when they meet the Baltimore Ravens in Rio de Janeiro on Sept. 27. Cornerback Cobie Durant, who has a hamstring strain, and safety PJ Locke, who tore the plantar fascia in his foot, are expected to miss multiple weeks. The team has not decided whether either player will go on injured reserve, coach Brian Schottenheimer said.
Linebacker DeMarvion Overshown has a hamstring strain, while safety Malik Hooker is recovering from a broken forearm. Neither had been cleared to return after missing the Washington game. Schottenheimer said the shorter week could make their availability harder to assess, with Dallas' first official injury report due Sept. 23.
Linebackers Jaishawn Barham and Dee Winters, who have been managing a stinger and a shoulder problem, respectively, are doing well and may not be listed.
Dallas could use other players, including recent linebacker elevations, and adjust its secondary if needed. The Cowboys are scheduled to depart Sept. 24 on a 10-hour flight to Rio de Janeiro. The source did not clearly identify Von Miller's role.
After the Washington victory, Jones said, “There is nothing more dangerous than an old man with money.” He later confirmed the comment referred to possible football additions, said he was willing to spend, and praised defensive tackles Quinnen Williams and Kenny Clark as key parts of the defense. The El Paso Times reported the updates.
