Cowboys Rumors: Zack Martin's Knee Injury Isn't Considered 'Serious'

Dallas Cowboys guard Zack Martin left Week 14's 29-23 overtime win over the Philadelphia Eagles early after suffering a knee injury.

On Monday morning, NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reported the Cowboys do not think Martin's injury is "serious," and that while he may miss time during the regular season, he will be ready for the postseason.

"Martin was injured on a Dak Prescott pass to the right side to receiver Amari Cooper," according to Brandon George of the Dallas Morning News. "He had to be helped off the field. Martin didn't return to the sideline and wasn't available for comment after the win." George also noted that "Martin will undergo an MRI on Monday."

Martin has been limited with a knee injury throughout the season, which first caused him to miss most of training camp. He also left early in Week 10 but returned for Week 11.

"It looks similar to the last time that he left the game," Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said," per George. "We, right now, don't see anything structurally or specific, but we are concerned. But we don't see anything that's different from the last time he hurt it with his MCL."

The 28-year-old has played in every game this season and didn't miss a game in the first four years of his career. In that time, he has earned four Pro Bowl selections and two first-team All-Pro nominations. He justifiably signed a six-year extension worth $84 million this offseason, making him the highest-paid offensive guard in NFL history.

Adam Redmond has filled in for Martin at times this season, but Xavier Su'a-Filo is the top option if the rest of the line is healthy. In any case, this latest injury could hurt the Cowboys offense as they push toward the postseason while sitting comfortably atop the NFC East at 8-5.
