Cowboys Cornerback Suffers Injury in Win Over Commanders

The Dallas Cowboys secured a 37-20 win over the Washington Commanders on Sunday, but the victory came at a cost for cornerback Cobie Durant. Durant was attempting to defend Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin in the end zone when he landed flat on his chest after a thrown pass. As he was down, Cowboys safety Markquese Bell stepped on Durant's butt and groin area, causing additional pain. Durant was helped up by Cowboys trainers and left the game, not returning. The incident occurred in the second quarter, and Durant had previously joined the Cowboys on a one-year deal worth $4 million after spending four seasons with the Los Angeles Rams. He had one tackle and a pass breakup in the previous week's loss to the New York Giants. The Cowboys held the Commanders to 10 points in the second half, with Dallas forcing a fumble on Dyami Brown as the only turnover of the game. The win moves the Cowboys to 1-1 on the season, while the Commanders fall to 0-2.
