The Dallas Cowboys announced Saturday that G Zack Martin left their preseason game against the Bengals with a knee injury.
Martin limped off the field and was examined in the medical tent on the sideline before he was taken to the locker room for further evaluation.
The Cowboys’ offensive line is already managing an injury to C Travis Frederick, so this is at least something to monitor.
Martin, 27, is a former first-round pick of the Cowboys back in 2014. He was in the final year of his four-year, $8.967 million contract when the Cowboys picked up his fifth-year option for the 2018 season.
Martin was set to make $9.341 million for the 2018 season when he agreed to a six-year, $84 million extension that includes $40 million guaranteed back in June.
In 2017, Martin appeared in all 16 games for the Cowboys and is rated by Pro Football Focus as the No. 1 guard out of 77 qualifying players.
We’ll have more regarding Martin’s injury as the news is available.
