Cowboys-Cardinals inactives: Martin, Biadasz out while multiple starters return

The Dallas Cowboys will be nursing more than just the loss of cornerback Trevon Diggs in Arizona. While Diggs’ absence will last till 2024, the offensive line is suddenly going through a carousel of changes against the Cardinals.

For Dallas, the good news is Tyler Smith will make his season debut while left tackle Tyron Smith is active, but the right side of the offensive line will be in flux. All-Pro right guard Zack Martin and center Tyler Biadasz are both out, and it’ll be a completely different unit up front for quarterback Dak Prescott in the desert. Brock Hoffman is set to start at center for Biadasz; T.J. Bass will replace Martin.

Wide receiver Brandin Cooks returns after missing the home opener, and it’s a massive reinforcement for Mike McCarthy’s offense given the offensive line concerns. Safety Donovan Wilson is also set to make his season debut for Dan Quinn’s defense. Take a look at the full list of inactives before Cowboys-Cardinals kicks off at 3:25 p.m. CT, televised on FOX.
