The injury bug has worked its way to the Cowboys’ offense. With just over 11 minutes to play in regulation of a 24-24 tie game, wide receiver Michael Gallup has been ruled out with an apparent hip injury.
It was not immediately apparent when Gallup suffered the injury.
If the Cowboys are going to pull out a win in the Week 15 contest, it will be without Gallup, who caught a touchdown earlier in the afternoon. He finished with three catches for 26 yards

On the same day that rookie cornerback Trevon Diggs was announced to have suffered a broken bone in his foot, the Cowboys defensive backfield saw another player return from injury.
Fourth-year cornerback Chidobe Awuzie has been activated by the team after missing the previous seven games with a bad hamstring.
The former second-round pick logged an interception in the Cowboys’ season opener against the Rams but was hurt on a special teams play against the Falcons in Week 2.
Awuzie’s 21-day practice window began on October 22; he’ll have the benefit of the team’s bye week to prepare for a return to action on November 22 when the Cowboys travel to Minnesota to face the Vikings.
For Awuzie, the final seven games of the season will be of critical importance as he closes out a contract year

Washington linebacker Jon Bostic will catch a lot of heat this week for his illegal hit on Cowboys quarterback Andy Dalton in the third quarter of Sunday’s meeting between the rival teams.
He was ejected from the game, he’ll almost certainly receive a hefty fine, and he probably deserves a suspension for the headshot he delivered to a sliding quarterback.
But all of that could actually pale in comparison to the blowback that Dalton’s teammates will hear over the coming days about the hit they didn’t deliver.
In the moments after the vicious cheap shot laid out their field general, not a single Dallas player came to Dalton’s defense. No retaliatory blows. No in-your-face exchanges. No pushes. No shoves.
In a thoroughly disappointing season that has already seen historic lows, the Cowboys’ failure to defend their fallen teammate may have been the lowest moment of them all.
It was definitely a hit that caused a disqualification. We speak all the time about playing for one another, protecting one another. That was definitely probably not the response that you would expect, Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy.
As vicious as the hit was, NFL insider Adam Schefter reported Monday morning that Bostic does not expect to be suspended for the play

A terrifying play took place late in the third quarter of the Washington-Dallas game when QB Andy Dalton took a hit to the head from LB Jon Bostic.
The late helmet-to-helmet hit knocked Dalton’s helmet off and left him motionless on the field for a couple of seconds.
The cart came out for Dalton, though the Dallas QB eventually walked off the field under his own power. Bostic was disqualified from the game for a late hit to the head of a player.
While Dalton walked off the field under his own power, he headed straight to the locker room and will likely not come back into the game.

The short week has not been kind to the Cowboys who continue to have unprecedented injuries along their beleaguered offensive line.
In Monday night’s loss to the Cardinals, the Cowboys lost right guard Zack Martin for a brief moment to a shoulder stinger concern, and then for the rest of the game to a concussion.
On Friday head coach Mike McCarthy indicated it’s likely the six-time All-Pro would be out for Sunday’s contest in Washington against the Football Team.
Second-year pro Connor McGovern would start in Martin’s place. Drafted in the third round out of Penn State, McGovern spent all of 2019 on injured reserve.
Not only will they be missing Martin on Sunday, but three other starters are out. Tyron Smith and La’el Collins are done for the year and Joe Looney is on IR
