The Dallas Cowboys had another less than ideal performance in their loss to the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday night.
It was another night of deflating offensive play and another night of the opponent running the ball as much as they want.
In the loss to the Ravens, the Cowboys also suffered a few injuries during the game, including to a wide receiver the team traded for last season.
Wide receiver Jonathan Mingo was ruled out for the game with a knee injury after coming up a little slow on a missed connection from quarterback Joe Milton in the end zone during the third quarter.
Mingo would like to have the chance to make a great impression in a unit that is filled with talent this season. Losing reps due to injury is a deflating moment for the former Carolina Panthers draft pick.
Cowboys UDFA cornerback Bruce Harmon also went down with a knee injury that would not allow him to return to the game. Another brutal blow for a player fighting for a roster spot.
Tight end Princeton Fant also went down with a shoulder injury late in the fourth quarter after taking a tough hit after a 33-yard reception from Will Grier.
On a positive note, veteran defensive back Christian Matthew, who suffered a groin injury in the loss, was able to return to action.
Even in the preseason, the Cowboys can’t escape injuries. However, it is an issue for every team around the league.
