The Dallas Cowboys, led by head coach Mike McCarthy, are gearing up for a significant early-season home matchup against Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens this Sunday. Both teams are looking to bounce back from tough Week 2 losses, with the Cowboys trying to shake off their defeat to the New Orleans Saints.
Key players for Dallas are currently listed as questionable. Wide receiver CeeDee Lamb, who recently became one of the highest-paid at his position, is nursing an ankle injury.
Cornerback Trevon Diggs, who missed much of last season due to a torn ACL, is dealing with a foot issue. However, McCarthy downplayed concerns, with NFL insider Ian Rapoport reporting that the injuries are “not of high concern” and both players would be limited in practice.
Additionally, tight end Jake Ferguson participated in Thursday’s practice despite a knee injury, while defensive tackle Mazi Smith missed the media portion due to a back issue, according to Jon Machota of The Athletic.
This matchup is particularly important for the Ravens, who are in a rare must-win situation by Week 3 after losing their first two games. With their defense appearing vulnerable, the Cowboys may find opportunities to exploit them. Dallas, however, also faces pressure after suffering their first regular-season home loss in over two years.
The Cowboys and Ravens are set for a 4:25 PM ET kickoff at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, with national coverage provided by FOX.
