Dallas Cowboys defensive backs Nahshon Wright, Jayron Kearse, OL Tyler Biadasz exit Titans game
Dallas Cowboys defensive backs Nahshon Wright and Jayron Kearse both left the field in the third quarter of the Titans game with Tennessee driving down the field.
The drive ended in a touchdown from Josh Dobbs to Robert Woods with Wright in the medical tent and Kearse on the sideline. On the next drive, center Tyler Biadasz went down with a right ankle injury. He had to take the cart off the field with Connor McGovern sliding into center, Jason Peters moving to left tackle and Tyler Smith moving to left guard. The team officially ruled the starting center as questionable to return.
Kearse and Wright returned to the field on the Cowboys’ next defensive series. Meanwhile, Biadasz returned to the sideline in street clothes with a boot on his right foot.
The Titans pulled the score within four points with 2:04 remaining in the third quarter. Turnovers on the part of the Cowboys and penalties for the Titans have made the Thursday Night Football game a back-and-forth affair, despite the double-digit spread ahead of kickoff.
Dobbs has already picked apart the secondary with explosive downfield passes. The former Tennessee quarterback is 14-for-24 with 188 passing yards and a touchdown.
Despite Biadasz going down, the Cowboys capped the answering drive with a touchdown from Dak Prescott to Dalton Schultz. Dallas took a 24-13 lead on the Titans with 11:38 remaining in the game.
The Thursday Night Matchup means little for the Cowboys, and much less for Tennessee. Unless the Eagles lose two in a row to end the regular season, Dallas can’t take the No. 1 spot in the division. However, the hope is still alive. The Eagles take on New Orleans at 1 p.m. ET on Sunday.
