The Cowboys got their first home win of the season last Thursday \u2013 it was the team\u2019s first victory in Dallas since Week 17 of 2023. Unfortunately, shortly after the game, it was announced that the Cowboys lost Zack Martin to a season-ending ankle injury.<\/p>\n<p>The 11th-year veteran will undergo surgery on his right ankle and miss the remainder of the season. With Martin set to hit free agency in 2025, his legendary Cowboys career could be over. The gravity of the situation was not lost on teammate CeeDee Lamb, who expressed his love for Martin.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs far as leading and teaching me how to lead and [teaching] me how to be a pro, I appreciate him for that. Just being a brother for me. That\u2019s my guy,\u201d Lamb said per Jonah Javad on X. \u201cIf it\u2019s the end, I appreciate it. If not, I love it,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>The Cowboys selected Martin with the 16th overall pick in the 2014 draft out of Notre Dame. He became the team\u2019s starting right guard in his first season, making the Pro Bowl and first-team All-Pro as a rookie.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>CeeDee Lamb shows appreciation for Cowboys\u2019 legend Zack Martin<\/strong><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3154575\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3154575\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Martin-and-Lamb.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Martin-and-Lamb.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Martin-and-Lamb.jpg?resize=300,169 300w, https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Martin-and-Lamb.jpg?resize=768,432 768w, https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Martin-and-Lamb.jpg?resize=1024,576 1024w, https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Martin-and-Lamb.jpg?resize=150,84 150w\" alt=\"CeeDee Lamb gives Zack Martin his flowers ahead of free agency\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3154575\">Matthew Emmons-Imagn Images<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The veteran lineman reached the Pro Bowl nine times in his career and has been a first-team All-Pro seven times in 11 seasons. Martin injured his ankle against the Houston Texans in Week 11 and has been sidelined by the ailment since. On Thursday, Martin decided to undergo surgery to repair his damaged ankle.<\/p>\n<p>The 34-year-old lineman entered the 2024 campaign with retirement on his mind. Now, with his season cut short by injury, there\u2019s a very real chance that Cowboys fans have seen the last of Martin. Even Dallas head coach Mike McCarthy acknowledged that Martin\u2019s career could be over.<\/p>\n<p>If he does retire, Martin will go down as one of the most decorated Cowboys players in franchise history. And clearly, he\u2019s had a meaningful impact on his teammates, as evidenced by Lamb\u2019s testimonial.<\/p>\n<p>Despite playing in all 12 games this season, it\u2019s been a grueling year for Lamb. The wideout dropped multiple passes before injuring his shoulder in Week 13\u2019s win over the Giants. Still, the fifth-year pro has 79 receptions for 880 yards and four touchdowns on the year, putting him on pace for a fourth straight 1,000-yard season.<\/p>\n<p>The Cowboys take on the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 14. Dallas looks to win its second home game and improve to 6-7.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Cowboys got their first home win of the season but the team lost Zack Martin to an ankle injury that could lead to his retirement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":5649,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[147,301],"class_list":["post-5648","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-dallas-cowboys","tag-ceedee-lamb","tag-zack-martin"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
