The Dallas Cowboys came out with a huge NFC East win over the Washington Commanders on Sunday 37-20 but one player got a little bit more than he bargained for during the game.
Cowboys cornerback Cobie Durant was in the secondary trying to defend Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin in the end zone in the second quarter. Jayden Daniels threw a missile over McLaurin’s head. Durant hit the ground and landed flat on his chest.

As he was down, Cowboys safety Markquese Bell was walking backward and didn’t appear to see Durant on the ground. Bell stepped on Durant’s butt and groin area, causing more pain than the cornerback was already in.
Durant was on the ground for a few moments trying to gather himself. He was eventually helped up by Cowboys trainers. He left the game and did not return.

Durant joined the Cowboys in the offseason on a one-year deal worth $4 million. He spent the first four seasons with the Los Angeles Rams. He had 141 tackles and seven interceptions in 61 games. He had one tackle and a pass breakup in last week’s loss to the New York Giants.
Meanwhile, the Cowboys held the Commanders to 10 points in the second half as Daniels suffered a dislocated elbow. Dallas forced a fumble on Dyami Brown – it was the only turnover of the game.
