Tyler

Biadasz

Biadasz is the second former Cowboy who has been linked to the Commanders. Biadasz, 26, will immediately help a Commanders offensive line that needs a major overhaul. He was named to the Pro Bowl in 2022 and has missed only two games over the last three seasons. Last season, Biadasz was graded as the 13th-best center in the league per PFF, allowing three sacks on 25 pressures.

Per Rapoport, center Tyler Biadasz is also expected to suit up. Both he and Martin were listed as questionable for Week 4. Martin missed Week 3 with the ankle issue. His return comes at the perfect time as left tackle Tyron Smith will be out this week because of a knee issue.

Smith was active as an emergency option in Week 3 against the Cardinals. Fellow offensive linemen Tyler Biadasz and Zack Martin got in limited practices, boding well for their chances to play this week. Smith, however, missed practice this week and the Cowboys now rule him out for Week 4 against the Patriots.

Smith tweaked his knee in practice Saturday and was listed as questionable for the Cowboys’ Week 3 matchup with the Cardinals. He was active for the game but only as an emergency option. Smith did not take a snap versus Arizona. Now it looks like his Week 4 status is in doubt as well. Center Tyler Biadasz and right guard Zack Martin, both of whom were held out last week, did not practice either.

Martin and center Tyler Biadasz are both out for this one, but starting tackle Tyron Smith (knee) will give it a go. TJ Bass and Brock Hoffman are next in line on the depth chart behind Martin and Biadasz, and are expected to draw the starts in their absence. In addition to Martin and Biadasz the Cowboys also declared QB Trey Lance, LB Junior Fehoko, WR Jalen Brooks, DB Eric Scott, DB Israel Mukuamu inactive for Week 3.

Left guard Tyler Smith was removed from the injury report while center Tyler Biadasz is listed as questionable. Martin did not practice at all this week and appears to be on the wrong side of questionable for Week 3. Luckily, the Cowboys get the lowly Cardinals on Sunday, so they can likely afford to give Martin an extra week to recover.

Biadasz was added to the practice report as a limited participant on Thursday with a hamstring injury. This comes on the same day the Cowboys found out they lost star cornerback Trevon Diggs to a torn ACL. Losing Biadasz for any length of time would only make matters worse for the Cowboys, who also have Zack Martin sitting out with an ankle injury.

It looks like Biadasz will return from a high-ankle sprain that had him out for the last two weeks. Dallas’ run game suffered greatly with their starting center sidelined, as they failed to notch 100 total rushing yards against either the Titans or the Commanders in their final two games of the season.

Biadasz was rolled up on in the third quarter of the final Thursday night game of the season. Jason Peters came on and the Cowboys shuffled their line while Biadasz was out. It’s unclear if they’ll do that again in Week 18 or make someone else active -- and they may not have anything to play for either way.

The injury forces some shifting of the linemen up front for the Cowboys, as Connor McGovern moves to center, Tyler Smith to left guard, and Jason Peters to left tackle from the bench. Not exactly what the Cowboys had in mind as the postseason looms near. Biadasz was ruled out for the remainder of the game and will not return.
