Two Dallas Cowboy superstars injured before Ravens game
By Matt Sidney
As Sunday’s matchup looms, the Dallas Cowboys are potentially facing a significant challenge without two of their marquee players. Wide receiver CeeDee Lamb and cornerback Trevon Diggs, both key figures in their respective units, were absent from Wednesday’s practice due to injuries. This development throws a wrench into the team’s preparations for their Week 3 game against the Baltimore Ravens.
CeeDee Lamb, known for his agility and ability to snag seemingly impossible catches, is currently dealing with an ankle injury. After a career-best season last year, topping the charts with 1,749 receiving yards and 12 touchdowns, Lamb’s presence on the field has become indispensable for the Cowboys.
His contributions early in the season were promising, with nine receptions for 151 yards and a touchdown already under his belt. While reports suggest his injury isn’t serious, his game status remains up in the air.

Trevon Diggs, who has become a cornerstone of the Cowboys’ defense, missed practice due to a foot injury. The All-Pro cornerback is crucial for Dallas, especially after bouncing back from last season’s torn ACL. His early season performance, including an interception and two passes defended, signals a return to form. However, his current health issues could leave a gap in the Cowboys’ defensive secondary.
The Ravens, too, are navigating their injury list, with six players missing practice. This includes significant figures like safety Kyle Hamilton and left tackle Ronnie Stanley. Both teams have had less than stellar starts to the season, with the Ravens particularly desperate for a win after going 0-2 for the first time since 2015. Last week, they let a 10-point lead slip away, resulting in a 26-23 defeat to the Las Vegas Raiders.
The Sunday showdown at AT&T Stadium is set for 4:25 p.m. ET, with both teams looking to overcome their respective adversities. The Cowboys, still smarting from a 44-19 thumping by the New Orleans Saints, need a win to regain their confidence. Meanwhile, the Ravens aim to avoid a repeat of last week’s collapse and notch their first win of the season.
As the week progresses, all eyes will be on the injury reports from both camps. The availability of Lamb and Diggs could be game-changing for the Cowboys, who are counting on their star power to combat a determined Ravens squad. Fans and analysts will be watching closely, hoping their favorite players make it off the sidelines and back into the action.
