Cowboys CB Jourdan Lewis ruled out with groin injury against Commanders
Since being drafted by Dallas in 2017, cornerback Jourdan Lewis has made a living as the nickel corner for the Cowboys.
Lewis has played in at least 15 games for the first five years of his career, becoming a consistent face on a defense that’s seen a lot of change.
While he had no injury designation, the Dallas defense took the field against the Commanders and Lewis was on the sideline without his helmet.
According to Dallas Morning News reporter Michael Gehlken, the Cowboys announced that Lewis was ruled out for the remainder of the game.
Rookie cornerback DaRon Bland was the first to step into the nickel corner spot due to his absence.
Bland had an eye-opening training camp and preseason, setting him up for the backup nickel spot. Lewis suffered the groin injury pregame and the Cowboys quickly turned to the rookie to pick up the production.
On the first defensive drive, Dallas stifled the Washington offense and Lewis is questionable to return in the game for later drives.
Lewis is in his sixth year with the Cowboys. He has 16 tackles in three games this season.
