Cowboys prep for Ravens as the opponent finishes Week 12

The Dallas Cowboys took to the practice field for the first time since their disturbing loss to the Washington Football Team on Thanksgiving Day. Their Week 13 opponent, the Baltimore Ravens, are finishing Week 12 game as they visit the undefeated Pittsburgh Steelers. This game was postponed from Thanksgiving night, to Sunday afternoon, to Monday night, to Wednesday afternoon.

Due to the crazy times during the Covid-19 pandemic the Cowboys preparation and practice schedule has been altered as well. Wednesday was the first time the players have been at their practice facility since their lifting session on Friday.

The team has treated this week similar to a smaller bye week. This could ultimately help the Cowboys as they are dealing with a few players on their injury report heading into Week 13.

Defensive end Aldon Smith headlined this list as he sat out Wednesday’s practice with an illness. Offensive guard Zack Martin (calf) and left tackle Cam Erving (MCL) were also not present. Safety Steven Parker (ankle) and cornerback Anthony Brown (ribs) were seen working off to the side.

While the status for Week 13 is very uncertain for the majority of those on this first report, head coach Mike McCarthy confirmed that Martin will miss extended time do to the extent of his calf injury. Erving on the other hand might not be as lengthy.

Check back with the Cowboys Wire in the coming days as the Cowboys continue their prep for an opponent who has yet to complete their respective Week 12 game.
