Dallas Cowboys safety P.J. Locke was injured during Washington’s opening possession in the team’s home opener against the Commanders. He appeared to favor his foot before contact, and a FOX replay showed him heading toward a tackle. Training staff assisted Locke off the field, though reports cited by Sports Illustrated said he later reached the locker room without assistance.
The injury adds to Dallas’ defensive absences after Malik Hooker was ruled out with a forearm injury. Locke joined the Cowboys in the offseason on a one-year contract worth $4 million.
Before signing with Dallas, Locke had played six NFL seasons for the Denver Broncos. He made two tackles in the Cowboys’ season-opening loss to the New York Giants. Sports Illustrated described the injury report as breaking news that could receive further updates.
