Cowboys Cornerback Cobie Durant Exits After Stepped On During Win

Dallas Cowboys cornerback Cobie Durant left Sunday's 37-20 victory over the Washington Commanders after safety Markquese Bell stepped on his groin and buttocks while he was down in the end zone. The injury occurred in the second quarter as Durant defended wide receiver Terry McLaurin. He did not return to the game. Durant joined Dallas in the offseason on a one-year contract worth $4 million. Before that, he spent four seasons with the Los Angeles Rams. In 61 games with the Rams, he recorded 141 tackles and seven interceptions. In the most recent loss to the New York Giants, he had one tackle and a pass breakup. The incident involved a throw from Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels. Daniels threw the ball over McLaurin's head. Durant hit the ground flat on his chest. Bell was walking backward and did not see Durant on the ground. He stepped on the injured area. Trainers helped Durant up from the field. He stayed on the sideline and did not re-enter the match. The Cowboys held Washington to 10 points in the second half. Daniels suffered a dislocated elbow during the contest. Dallas forced a fumble from Dyami Brown. That was the only turnover of the game. The win moves Dallas to a 1-1 record. Washington falls to 0-2.
