Cooper Beebe, Cowboys Center, Down with Injury
FRISCO, Texas – The Dallas Cowboys are lamenting the loss of their center, Cooper Beebe, who will be out of action for between six and eight weeks due to a right ankle injury suffered during Sunday’s victory against the New York Giants. According to sources close to the team, Beebe did not suffer a high ankle sprain, but rather a lateral sprain and a fracture in a small bone in the foot.The team has placed Beebe on the injured reserve list on Monday, which means he will miss at least the next four games. Following the team’s estimate, Beebe could return on November 3 against the Arizona Cardinals. To fill the position on the roster, the Cowboys announced the official addition of defensive end Jadeveon Clowney. After the match, Beebe’s ankle showed visible swelling, which led to further tests on Monday, revealing the fracture. Brock Hoffman, who replaced Beebe in the last 16 snaps against the Giants, is ready to take on more responsibilities. Hoffman, in his second year on the team, has already proven his worth, having started in six right guard games and one center game last season, in addition to another game at center in 2023.We expect it to be on the shorter end of that timeline.

Brian Schottenheimer highlighted the importance of the snaps Hoffman played against the Giants and is confident that he will be ready for Sunday’s game against the Chicago Bears.I definitely feel bad for Coop, obviously, that he got hurt. You never want anyone to get hurt, but as far as me, it’s the same as last year with those last seven games. I’m ready for any opportunity that comes. I always have a motto of ‘stay ready so you don’t have to get ready.’ That’s what I’m here to do. I’m here to give it my all and help this team keep winning.
Brock Hoffman
He gets under the skin of the defender, gets a little bit in their heads. But yes, his style of play, it’s connected the right way, man. And our guys love him. He’s definitely one of the leaders in that room.
