On Tuesday, the Cowboys announced some disappointing injury news. Special teams ace CJ Goodwin is set to undergo surgery on his pectoral which will end his season. The team also announced that linebacker Leighton Vander Esch will not return after being placed on injured reserve. When asked if Vander Esch could return at some point in the future, Jerry Jones was unsure, leaving Vander Esch’s career in question.
Wednesday brought some positive news though as tight end Peyton Hendershot has been designated for return according to the mothership’s Nick Eatman.
The Cowboys have a little more depth at tight end this week.
