The Dallas Cowboys have announced that right guard Zack Martin, who has been dealing with an illness that has recently affected the team's locker room, is now inactive for the game against the Washington Commanders. Initially, the team had expected Martin to play despite the illness. However, the situation changed, leading to his inactivity. Alongside Martin, the Cowboys will also be missing left guard Tyler Smith due to a foot injury. Smith's absence is seen as a precaution to allow him rest before the playoffs. The team's inactives include Martin, Smith, and defensive lineman Viliami Fehoko, among others. Safety Malik Hooker and nose tackle Johnathan Hankins, who were also on the injury report, are active for the game, with Hankins making a return.
