Zack Martin, Xavier Woods Suffer Preseason Injuries, Cowboys Down 2 Starters

Last Saturday night didn’t end well for the Dallas Cowboys, who saw multiple players go down throughout the game, most notably Zack Martin and Xavier Woods. Preseason injuries are always the more painful ones, and when we’re talking about someone like Martin, it just makes it worse.

Martin suffered a knee injury and was ruled out after going down. ESPN’s Todd Archer tweeted out that a source had…
