The Dallas Cowboys’ offensive line is having a bad week.

Right guard Zack Martin left Saturday’s preseason game against the Bengals with a right knee injury. Martin is having an MRI on Saturday. He’s confident it won’t show anything serious.

“We’re very positive about how it impacts the rest of camp, but we’ll see more after we’ve had a chance to look at it,” Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said. “but from what we’ve seen, I’ll sleep good tonight on Martin. I think we’re right now, to give you an idea of how I feel about it, I’d say it was worth it for him to be in there.”

Center Travis Frederick did not play Saturday because of a shoulder injury.

Safety Xavier Woods left the game with a hamstring injury. Woods will also have an MRI.
