According to Michael Gehlken of the Dallas Morning News, Dallas Cowboys guard Matt Farniok suffered a torn hamstring, and he could miss six weeks.
Farniok had a great college career at Nebraska. He is one of only 13 players in program history to be a two-time team captain. Farniok appeared in 39 games for the Cornhuskers, and he started games at tackle, guard, and center. In 2020, he was an Honorable-Mention All-Big Ten.
The Cowboys selected Farniok in the seventh round of the 2021 NFL Draft. As a rookie, he played sparingly, logging only 23 total offensive snaps. This season, he has taken on a larger role. He started two games for the Cowboys, and through seven weeks, he has logged 190 offensive snaps.
Hopefully, Farniok can have a quick recovery and get back on the field soon.
Cowboys backup C/G Matt Farniok suffered a torn hamstring on an extra point Sunday vs. Lions, and he could miss about six weeks, two people familiar with situation said. Farniok is expected to be placed on injured reserve with opportunity to return later in season.
