Zack Martin absent for the Cowboys

According to a last-minute report by the Dallas Cowboys, right guard Zack Martin suffered an illness before the game against the Washington Commanders and won’t be making an appearance for this match. The news comes just an hour before their kick of the game, which marks the end of their regular season. A win today will give them their second NFC East title in less than three years.

The last-minute inactive status comes with a big surprise. The veteran player had been placed on rest designation and had no game status for today. That’s why the last-minute illness has come as a big shock for Dallas fans. Since he was put on rest designation, this could be a strategy to rest the player for coming playoff games.

Who will be starting for Zack Martin against the Commanders?

TJ Bass will be the player tasked with replacing the veteran player for today’s game against the Commanders. The twenty-four-year-old rookie will be looking to make a good game today that can maybe see him have more action in the coming playoff games.

As far as Martin, there is no timetable for his return nor any other news on his last-minute illness. The Cowboys will be looking for him to be perfect for the postseason if they want to have an opportunity at the title.
