Thursday Injury Report

The main story from today was news of Trevon Diggs tearing his ACL at practice. MRI's reportedly already confirmed the injury and he will miss Sunday's game as well as the rest of the season.

Tyler Biadasz is reportedly getting an MRI, too.

Cowboys’ Pro-Bowl center Tyler Biadasz hurt his hamstring during today’s practice and is undergoing an MRI to determine the extent of the injury, per source. Another source said, “Tyler will be OK.” https://t.co/26cGs3MvOF

Arizona entered last week's loss against the New York Giants missing four defensive starters: L.J. Collier, Budda Baker, Leki Fotu and Josh Woods. Carlos Watkins exited Sunday's game with an injury, too. Gannon confirmed he had surgery and will miss significant time.

"Yeah, it's just like with Budda. Next guy's gotta get up and get ready to play, but I feel good about those guys going in," said Gannon on the defensive line.

"I thought [Eric] Banks and [Dante] Stills played pretty well. With Carlos going out in the game we're a little short there because we'd like to play with five [linemen]. But I like the five that will be up. Leki [Fotu] we'll get him back. He'll be out there today and so that'll help us, but feel good about them."

Collier was placed on injured reserve last Friday while Baker was recently placed on IR earlier this week. K'Von Wallace will take Baker's place while the Cardinals will utilize a slew of bodies in the trenches to help make up for those losses.

We'll have one more day of practice before teams have to place injury designations (doubtful, questionable, etc.) after Friday. Inactives for Week 3 will be made official 90 minutes before game time on Sunday, which is set for 1:25 PM local time.

The Cowboys are currently favored by 12.5 points on SI Sportsbook.
