As fans know, the Dallas Cowboys received news a few days ago that the best player on their roster, offensive guard Zack Martin, may be unavailable for the season opener against Tampa Bay following a positive COVID-19 test. While it is true that Martin is vaccinated, he must overcome two negative tests within 24-hours to be eligible to play again. Not all hope is lost, but the Cowboys must prepare as if they won’t have their perennial pro bowl guard.

If Martin is able to play after negative tests, he is the type of player that can step in without missing a beat and handle his own.
