Clark walked slowly into the medical tent in the third quarter and was officially listed as questionable to return. He did come back, and afterward, he told reporters he felt good and would learn more as the week progressed.
The Cowboys paced the game with a balanced attack. Quarterback Dak Prescott threw for 264 yards and three touchdowns. CeeDee Lamb returned from a short absence to post 110 receiving yards and a score, while Jake Ferguson hauled in two touchdown catches.
Defensive depth softened the blow when Clark exited. Dallas rotated big bodies up front and kept pressure on Washington, limiting the Commanders after an early drive that threatened to shift momentum. Clark anchors the interior and sets the tone against the run, but the Cowboys’ defensive line responded without missing a beat, helping preserve a comfortable win.
Head coach Brian Schottenheimer and the training staff will monitor Clark through the week. However, Sunday’s update from the veteran defensive tackle suggested nothing immediate to force alternate plans. Still, the Cowboys won’t take anything for granted.
Clark plays many snaps on early downs and in goal-line situations; even a minor elbow problem can affect hand placement and leverage. Expect the team to provide a clearer status after further testing and the usual midweek injury report. For now, Clark’s short report—“he feels good”—is about as close to a green light as Dallas could want after a game that ultimately showcased their roster depth.
