Dalton Schultz questionable to return against Rams after suffering knee injury

The Dallas Cowboys saw tight end Dalton Schultz exit the game in the second quarter after suffering a new knee injury. Schultz appeared to bang his knee against a defender’s knee while running a route, leading to him limping off the field and slamming his helmet down in anger at the injury.

Shortly afterwards, the broadcast showed Schultz speaking with team trainers on the sidelines but did not immediately provide an update on his status. On Dallas’ next offensive drive, Schultz remained on the sideline while rookie Peyton Hendershot came in for him in relief. The broadcast team provided an update during the drive that indicated Schultz’ return to the game was questionable with the knee injury.

The timing is particularly brutal for Schultz as he is coming off a previous knee injury that forced him to miss his first game since his rookie season earlier this year.
