Dallas Cowboys offensive lineman Josh Ball left in the first quarter of Saturday night’s game against the Las Vegas Raiders with what is being reported as a hip injury. With questions surrounding the depth of the offensive line, this injury could force the club to look elsewhere for help.

The third-year player, whose roster spot is uncertain to begin with, entered Saturday’s game in hopes of having a good showing yet his night may be over after just a few plays.

The 2021 fourth-round selection has only recorded 42 regular season snaps all of which came last season. His rookie season was wiped out by an ankle injury which made this a pivotal third season. While lineman depth is an issue throughout the league, time may be running out.
