The Dallas Cowboys must have walked under a ladder or had numerous black cats cross their pass before the 2024 season started.

The franchise’s injury list has left many wondering exactly what caused the football gods to be so cruel.

It started in training camp when Sam Williams went down with an ACL injury, and it only got worse from there.

Dak Prescott, Tyler Smith, Tyler Guyton, DaRon Bland, Micah Parsons, DeMarcus Lawrence, Trevon Diggs, Brandin Cooks, Zack Martin, Juanyeh Thomas, Josh Butler, DeMarvion Overshown, and Caelen Carson have all missed time this season. Diggs, Martin, Dak, Overshown, Butler, and Carson are all season-ending too.

And that’s not counting those who have missed a game or two, like Jake Ferguson and Cooper Beebe, or players like CeeDee Lamb, who are injured but are playing through the pain barrier.

And CeeDee has reflected on the team’s horror injury list this season.

“This game isn’t loyal to anybody,” Lamb said with a reaction to his brutal truth. “For us, it sucks. We got the injury bug this year, but we have a couple guys come back, and I’m happy for them, and for those that haven’t came back yet praying for a speedy recovery, obviously a successful surgery, but wish that never happened to them.”

Dallas has been swimming against the tide this season, and when we factor in who has missed time and for how long, it has been a brutal season.

But the Cowboys aren’t waving the white flag and have rattled off three wins in their last four games to still be in the playoff hunt, albeit just.

With three games left in the season, fans want Dallas to finish the year positively and, perhaps more importantly, without new injuries.

Because someone is working overtime on that Dallas voodoo doll, and we aren’t sure how many more hits this franchise can take.
