Cowboys DT Jordan Phillips lands on injured reserve with a right wrist injury.

Why it matters: The loss of Phillips is a blow to the Cowboys' defensive line and could impact their ability to stop the run in upcoming games.

What's new: Phillips underwent surgery last year for a dislocated right wrist, and it seems that the injury has resurfaced, forcing him to miss at least the next four games.

Yes, but: The Cowboys have made moves to address their defensive line concerns by signing veteran lineman Carlos Watkins.

• Watkins brings experience and depth to the position, helping to mitigate the impact of Phillips' absence.

What to watch: The performance of the Cowboys' run defense will be closely monitored, especially considering their upcoming matchup against the Baltimore Ravens, who boast a strong rushing attack led by Derrick Henry and Lamar Jackson.

• The Cowboys gave up 140 yards and four touchdowns on the ground in their recent loss to the Saints, highlighting the need for improvement.

What's next: With Phillips on injured reserve, the Cowboys may look to promote defensive tackles Phil Hoskins or Denzel Daxon from their practice squad.

• This would provide internal options to fill the void left by Phillips and maintain depth along the defensive line.

The bottom line: The Cowboys' run defense faces a challenge in the absence of Jordan Phillips, but with the addition of Carlos Watkins and potential promotions from within, they aim to shore up their defensive line and improve their performance moving forward.
