Cowboys 2024 rookie report: Rookie class quiet in Giants victory

It’s back-to-back wins for the Dallas Cowboys, and they took out a divisional rival on Thanksgiving for the second year in a row. There was a lot on the line for Dallas that needed their first home win and they got it in style. How did the rookie class help score victory? Let’s dive in.

OT Tyler Guyton

Guyton started at left tackle and played in the first quarter before leaving the game early. He never returned and it’s reported he has a high ankle sprain. Chuma Edoga replaced Guyton and is the main candidate to take over the position in Guyton’s absence. Edoga played the rest of the game and allowed only two pressures and zero sacks.

C Cooper Beebe

Beebe had some issues against the New York Giants that primarily sends its pass rush inside. He managed to stay clean and allow zero pressures but where Beebe really had problems was in the run blocking. Thankfully the Giants defense couldn’t contain Rico Dowdle who went for over 100 yards on the ground, but Beebe clearly has some work to do in run blocking.

LB Marist Liufau

Liufau played eight snaps on defense. He got in the Giants backfield twice putting pressure on Drew Lock. Other than that he was doing his secondary role on special teams.

T Nathan Thomas

TE Brevyn Spann-Ford

Ford wasn’t targeted at all in the passing game, but he did help in the run game as an extra blocker. Ford played 31 snaps against the Giants and 20 of those snaps was as an extra blocker. He made one very good tackle on special teams as Dallas looked to pile the pressure on as the game developed.

Dallas Mavericks’ Anthony Davis facing possible season-ending surgery on hand

Dallas Mavericks star big man Anthony Davis might be facing season-ending left hand surgery after being injured in Thursday night’s game against the Utah Jazz, ESPN reported on Friday.

Davis reportedly underwent an MRI exam on Friday that showed ligament damage in the hand. Davis reportedly will seek a second opinion to see if surgery is needed.

ESPN reported Davis would miss at least six weeks if surgery is avoided.

Davis was injured with 2:52 left in the 116-114 loss while defending Utah star Lauri Markkanen on a drive to the basket. Davis was in obvious pain after the play and left the contest with 2:08 remaining after he was holding the hand and unable to defend Markkanen’s next basket.

The timing of the injury could affect Dallas’ trade plans. The club reportedly planned to shop Davis prior to the 5 February trade deadline.

Davis hasn’t even been with the Mavericks for a year yet. He came over in the controversial and disastrous deal in which star Luka Dončić was traded to the Los Angeles Lakers.

Davis, who turns 33 in March, is making $54.1m this season. He is due to make $58.5m next season and has a player option for $62.8m in 2027-28.

Davis has played in just 29 games for the Mavericks – nine last season and 20 this season.

He is averaging 20.4 points, 11.1 rebounds and 1.7 blocked shots this season. He is a 10-time All-Star.
