The Dallas Cowboys list of injuries in their revamped secondary is horrendous. The team is down so many players, that they traded for a DB and still elevated two more defensive backs for their Week 4 contest against the Houston Texans. Add another name to the list.
Dallas' star special teams player, Alijah 'Cinco' Clark, had to be carted off the Reliant Stadium sideline in the second half on Sunday.

Clark, a second year UDFA out of Syracuse, has been called into defensive duty more often this season, but his core role is as a special teamer. With injuries to PJ Locke and Jalen Thompson, the team was fortunate that Malik Hooker was able to return. Rookie Caleb
Down has played more safety than previously, as well.
He's been given a questionable to return injury tag. Dallas trails the Texans 23-20 heading into a crucial fourth quarter.
