Tyler

Biadasz

As is right tackle Cornelius Lucas. Both linemen got in one limited practice this week. The team is likely ramping them up for a return in the Wild Card Round. Down multiple offensive linemen, the Commanders could take a conservative approach on offense this week. They are locked into a playoff spot regardless of the outcome of this game.

Gonzalez is dealing with a left foot injury and was listed as questionable entering the weekend despite being a full participant in Thursday and Friday’s practices. Apparently unwilling to risk it, the Commanders have opted to sit Gonzalez for Week 15, thus forcing newly-signed vet Greg Joseph into the role. Joseph has converted on 13-of-16 field goal attempts this season while playing with the Giants while making all six of his extra point attempts. In addition to Gonzalez, the Commanders also declared WR K.J. J Osborn, QB Jeff Driskel, CB Michael Davis, LB Dominique Hampton C Tyler Biadasz, and DT Phidarian Mathis inactive. Biadasz was reportedly dealing with an illness that struck over the weekend, which led to the team holding him out after pre-game warmups.

Biadasz presumably fell ill overnight, prompting the team to give him an injury designation. Per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Biadasz “needs to improve a lot to play.” It sounds like backup center Michael Deiter will draw the start this week.

Biadasz is the second former Cowboy who has been linked to the Commanders. Biadasz, 26, will immediately help a Commanders offensive line that needs a major overhaul. He was named to the Pro Bowl in 2022 and has missed only two games over the last three seasons. Last season, Biadasz was graded as the 13th-best center in the league per PFF, allowing three sacks on 25 pressures.

Per Rapoport, center Tyler Biadasz is also expected to suit up. Both he and Martin were listed as questionable for Week 4. Martin missed Week 3 with the ankle issue. His return comes at the perfect time as left tackle Tyron Smith will be out this week because of a knee issue.

Smith was active as an emergency option in Week 3 against the Cardinals. Fellow offensive linemen Tyler Biadasz and Zack Martin got in limited practices, boding well for their chances to play this week. Smith, however, missed practice this week and the Cowboys now rule him out for Week 4 against the Patriots.

Smith tweaked his knee in practice Saturday and was listed as questionable for the Cowboys’ Week 3 matchup with the Cardinals. He was active for the game but only as an emergency option. Smith did not take a snap versus Arizona. Now it looks like his Week 4 status is in doubt as well. Center Tyler Biadasz and right guard Zack Martin, both of whom were held out last week, did not practice either.

Martin and center Tyler Biadasz are both out for this one, but starting tackle Tyron Smith (knee) will give it a go. TJ Bass and Brock Hoffman are next in line on the depth chart behind Martin and Biadasz, and are expected to draw the starts in their absence. In addition to Martin and Biadasz the Cowboys also declared QB Trey Lance, LB Junior Fehoko, WR Jalen Brooks, DB Eric Scott, DB Israel Mukuamu inactive for Week 3.

Left guard Tyler Smith was removed from the injury report while center Tyler Biadasz is listed as questionable. Martin did not practice at all this week and appears to be on the wrong side of questionable for Week 3. Luckily, the Cowboys get the lowly Cardinals on Sunday, so they can likely afford to give Martin an extra week to recover.

Biadasz was added to the practice report as a limited participant on Thursday with a hamstring injury. This comes on the same day the Cowboys found out they lost star cornerback Trevon Diggs to a torn ACL. Losing Biadasz for any length of time would only make matters worse for the Cowboys, who also have Zack Martin sitting out with an ankle injury.
