"Cowboys Face Washington Commanders with Key Inactives: Martin and Smith Out"

The Dallas Cowboys will be without both starting guards, Zack Martin and Tyler Smith, for their game against the Commanders. Martin was added to the inactive list due to illness, while Smith will miss his third game of the season with a foot injury. T.J. Bass is expected to start at left guard, and the Cowboys have a few options for right guard. Defensive tackle Johnathan Hankins returns after missing three games, while the Commanders' inactives include quarterback Jacoby Brissett and safety Kamren Curl.
