The Patriots will be without a starter along the offensive line and in the secondary again.
Cole Strange and Jonathan Jones were both downgraded to out for Sunday’s game against the Cowboys, the team announced ahead of its trip to Dallas on Saturday.
Strange is dealing with a knee injury that he re-aggravated during last week’s win against the Jets. The Patriots’ starting left guard first suffered the injury during training camp, keeping him out through the preseason and for the first game of this season. He was limited in practice for the entire week.
As for Jones, he’ll miss his third straight game due to an ankle injury.
