Dallas Cowboys safety P.J. Locke sustained a foot injury during Washington’s opening possession, making Dallas’ defensive situation more difficult in its home opener against the Commanders. The injury occurred in Locke’s second game with the team.
A FOX replay showed Locke moving toward a tackle before appearing to limp prior to contact with another player. Training staff helped him leave the field, and he later went to the locker room under his own power, according to reports cited by Sports Illustrated.
Malik Hooker had already been ruled out for the game because of a forearm injury. Locke signed a one-year, $4 million contract with Dallas during the offseason after spending his first six NFL seasons with the Denver Broncos.
Locke recorded two tackles in Dallas’ season-opening loss to the New York Giants. Sports Illustrated identified the report as a breaking news story subject to further updates.
