The First Game of the Season Without Beebe: A Major Challenge Ahead

3 p.m.- Cooper Beebe will not take the field when the Cowboys visit the Panthers in Week 15.

The rookie third-round pick suffered a concussion just ahead of halftime in the eventual loss to the Bengals on Monday night, ruled out just after halftime and putting him on a short week to try and clear concussion protocol to make the trip to Charlotte.

Unable to do so, it will be Brock Hoffman likely serving as starting center this weekend with T.J. Bass at right guard in the continued absence of perennial All-Pro Zack Martin.

This will mark the first game of the season in which Beebe will not be available to play.

12:45 p.m.- Given the devastating news on DeMarvion Overshown, the last thing the Dallas Cowboys can afford is to be without another key contributor at linebacker.

Kendricks has been key in helping the defensive unit turn the corner the past several weeks, and will be looked upon to continue his great play in conjunction with bringing rookie third-round pick Marist Liufau along for that ride over the remaining four games of the regular season.

The veteran currently leads all Cowboys with 119 combined tackles to go along with three sacks, three forced fumbles, one fumble recovery and an interception this season.

11:45 am. – Zack Martin is set to undergo surgery in the next day or two to repair his injured ankle, effectively ending his 2024 season.

With hopes of adding depth to the roster at the position, the Cowboys have signed Braeden Daniels to the practice squad on Thursday.

Daniels, 24, is a native of Carrollton, Texas, a suburb of Dallas, who spent his collegiate career at the University of Utah before being named a fourth-round pick of the Washington Commanders in 2023.

He’s since had short stays with the Houston Texans, Los Angeles Chargers and Philadelphia Eagles before joining the Cowboys heading into the Week 15 bout against the Carolina Panthers.
