Dallas Cowboys’ Injury Update: Nick Vigil’s Status for Monday Night Football Against Bengals
The Dallas Cowboys are preparing for a crucial Monday Night Football game against the Cincinnati Bengals, and the team’s injury list is a significant factor in their preparations. Linebacker Nick Vigil is listed as questionable for the game due to a foot injury.
Vigil’s status is one of several injury concerns for the Cowboys. While Trevon Diggs (knee/groin) and Tyler Guyton (ankle/knee) are also questionable, there is optimism from the team that both Diggs and Guyton might be active for the game. This would be a significant boost, especially with Diggs potentially joining DaRon Bland and Jourdan Lewis to form the team’s top three cornerbacks for the first time this season.
The Cowboys will be without Zack Martin, who will undergo season-ending ankle surgery, and safety Juanyeh Thomas, who is out with a knee injury. However, CeeDee Lamb (shoulder) and Jake Ferguson (concussion) are set to return, which is positive news for the team’s offense and depth.
The game against the Bengals, despite their 4-8 record, promises to be challenging. The Bengals’ offense, led by quarterback Joe Burrow and receiver Ja'Marr Chase, has been performing exceptionally well. Chase, in particular, has been dominant, leading all pass-catchers in receiving yards and touchdowns and having an impressive streak in the last three games.
The Bengals also have their own set of injuries, with starting left tackle Orlando Brown Jr. out due to a fibula injury. This could create opportunities for the Cowboys’ defense, particularly Micah Parsons, who will face a backup left tackle.
