Cowboys backup tackle Cam Erving leaves game with knee injury

Dallas Cowboys backup offensive tackle Cam Erving is questionable to return with a knee injury.

It already wasn’t a very good day for Cam Erving after losing the starting right tackle gig to undrafted free agent Terence Steele.

Things just got worse after he was injured on the Cowboys’ missed field goal attempt in the second quarter. Erving was rolled up on by a defender after a failed block attempt by rookie OL Tyler Biadasz. Dallas Morning News reporter David Moore is saying the Cowboys free agent pickup from the Kansas City Chiefs is questionable to return.

The Cowboys offensive line is already banged up with incumbent starting right tackle La’el Collins on injured reserve for at least the first three weeks of the season. If Erving is unable to return, that leaves second-year tackle Brandon Knight as the only available option should another injury occur, contrary to the report from NBC’s Michelle Tafoya.
