Rico Dowdle's hip injury could mean more playing time for Hunter Luepke

Rico Dowdle's availability heading into the Week 5 matchup with the San Francisco 49ers is currently up in the air. He unfortunately sustained what has been now diagnosed as a hip contusion to the same hip he fractured back in 2021 in the 38-3 victory over the New England Patriots. This injury could prove problematic to the Dallas Cowboys offensive game plan moving forward.

With the cloud of unknown currently encompassing Rico Dowdle's availability on Sunday Night Football against the 49ers, the Cowboys would be wise to prepare as if he won't be available for them.
