Dallas Cowboys' All-Pro right guard appeared to be injured late in the second half of the team's win over the New England Patriots. As he left the field, Martin favored his left leg and spoke with the team's medical staff.
Earlier in the week, Martin's name was included on the injury report with an ankle injury after missing Week 3's game versus the Arizona Cardinals. According to Jerry Jones via The Athletic's Jon Machota, however, the late-game sequence is nothing to worry about:
That's big news for a Cowboys' offensive line that has yet to play a fame fully healthy this season. They seemingly expect to get LT Tyron Smith back next weekend for the upcoming showdown versus the San Francisco 49ers.
UPDATE: On Monday, Mike McCarthy provided further updates on both Micah Parsons and Zack Martin while also adding clarity to Rico Dowdle's status. You can read below:

Monday updates coming through.
As for Micah Parsons, Jerry Jones mentioned the Cowboys were "satisfied that it was not a serious matter." The update is unsurprising following his return to the field in the second quarter and continued play in the second half (probably to a fault, what was Parsons doing on the field late in the fourth with the Cowboys up 38-3?)
An injury that flew under the radar was that of Rico Dowdle, which explains the heavy usage of Deuce Vaughn and Hunter Luepke. Fortunately, the initial updates around Dowdle's hip injury have been positive. Per Patrik Walker from DallasCowboys.com, he'll undergo an MRI on Monday:
