It's a devastating blow for Dallas, but now it's time for the next man up, who is expected to be versatile offensive lineman Brock Hoffman, who filled in for Beebe in overtime and had a fumbled snap exchange with Dak Prescott.

The good news is Beebe is expected to return to the field for the second half of the season and Dallas has added a lot of versatile depth to fill in the pieces when necessary.
