Week 2 of the preseason was not kind to the Dallas Cowboys, as several players left the game Saturday night against the visiting Cincinnati Bengals with an injury. But none has Cowboys Nation holding its breath more than the knee injury sustained by All-Pro guard Zack Martin.
Martin, who this offseason signed a six-year extension with $40 million in guaranteed money, was injured in the second quarter when Bengals defensive back Dre Kirkpatrick hit him low on a run play. According to reports, he was tended to in the team's injury tent on the sideline before limping into the locker room.
He reportedly returned to the Cowboys' sideline in the second half and was not seen wearing any braces. According to a report by ESPN's Adam Schefter late Saturday, Martin will undergo an MRI exam on Sunday.
Starting Dallas safety Xavier Woods left with a hamstring injury sustained when he nearly intercepted Andy Dalton in the second quarter. The Cowboys' other starting safety, Jeff Heath, is dealing with a low ankle sprain.

No word was given on the long-term prognosis on any of the players.
