The Dallas Cowboys' great start to the 2023 NFL season took a major hit on Thursday when we learned Trevon Diggs suffered a season-ending torn ACL injury. 

Evidently, the news on the $97 million All-Pro defender took over the Cowboys' news cycle, overshadowing another injury to another starter: Offensive center Tyler Biadasz.

The fourth-year center who's started 35 of the last 36 Cowboys games suffered a hamstring injury during practice and was listed as a limited participant. Per ESPN's Adam Schefter, Biadasz is expected to be "okay."

Even still, he was slated to receive an MRI, per Dallas Morning News' Michael Gehlken. The severity of the injury remains unclear at this time but as we know, hamstrings have to be treated with extra care as they can linger for entire seasons and even careers. 

The Cowboys are no strangers to offensive line injury woes. The starting lineup they intended to play in 2022 and 2023 has taken the field zero times in 19 games. If Biadasz (or Tyler Smith and Zack Martin, who are trending toward playing) misses time, that streak would grow to 20 total. 

In the event Biadasz can't go, the Cowboys would likely elevate G/C Brock Hoffman (who has been elevated twice already) or OC Sean Harlow from the practice squad. 

The Cowboys will play the 0-2 Arizona Cardinals on Sunday on the road. They're favorites by 12.5 points entering Week 3. It'll be their first game without Trevon Diggs for the rest of the season. Fortunately, the next injury updates are promising.
