Three-Time Pro Bowl Superstar Speaks Out After Elbow Injury Makes Cowboys Fans “Heart-Stopped”
Arlington, Texas – The Dallas Cowboys’ joy over their 44-22 victory against the Washington Commanders at AT&T Stadium was nearly overshadowed by concern surrounding Kenny Clark. The three-time Pro Bowl defensive star left the entire team and fans holding their breath when he suffered an elbow injury in the third quarter, forcing him to leave the field for medical evaluation.
The incident occurred when Clark was involved in a tackle on QB Jayden Daniels, a heavy collision that led him to clutch his right elbow and be escorted directly to the medical tent. The Cowboys temporarily lost one of their most critical defensive anchors, leaving many fans worried about the possibility of a long-term absence.
However, after the game, Clark quickly spoke out to reassure everyone. As he left the locker room, he shared briefly with reporters:
“I’m completely fine. Just a slight pain, nothing serious at all.”
According to reporter Joseph Hoyt (Dallas Morning News), Clark said he would undergo further tests the next day, but all initial signs were positive. He felt okay and showed no symptoms indicating a severe injury.
“I’ll know for sure tomorrow, but right now I feel good,” Clark added.
This news brought relief to the Cowboys’ coaching staff, especially as Dallas is lacking depth in the interior defensive line, with younger players like Mazi Smith and Chauncey Golston still short on experience.
Clark, who was a defensive cornerstone for the Packers before joining the Cowboys, has shown impressive form throughout the early 2025 season with his ability to control the line of scrimmage and pressure opposing quarterbacks.
The Cowboys will continue their journey in Week 8 with a road game at Mile High Stadium, facing the Denver Broncos on October 26. With Clark confirming he is “completely fine,” Dallas can confidently aim to solidify their standing in the NFC race.
“It’s a huge relief to know he’s okay,” HC Brian Schottenheimer said.
