Dallas Cowboys O-Line Injuries at Bucs: Jason Peters Exits, Doctors Check Zack Martin

To the surprise of many, the Dallas Cowboys are off to a roaring start in their Wild Card matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday Night Football at Raymond James Stadium.

However, that momentum may soon be coming to a halt, after the offensive line suffered a potentially major setback.

Late in the second quarter, starting left tackle Jason Peters was forced to leave the game with a hip injury. 

And while he was able to walk off the field under his own power, the loss of Peters could be a major factor in the outcome of the game.

However, despite the loss of Peters on the drive the Cowboys were able to continue their drive down the field and score a touchdown on a Dak Prescott pass to Dalton Schultz, putting Dallas up 18-0.

Additionally, right guard Zack Martin had doctors checking on his right knee, but is staying in the game.

Peters had recently taken over the starting blindside spot from rookie Tyler Smith, who moved to left guard.

To replace Peters in the lineup, the Cowboys moved into the left tackle spot, and inserted backup Connor McGovern at left guard.

Peters is currently questionable to return as the Cowboys go to intermission up 18-0.
