Dallas center Cooper Beebe is dealing with a high-ankle sprain and could be out 1-2 months, but Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones said the team won’t immediately know the precise length of his absence.
“We’re hoping that it’s on the shorter end of that,” Jones said Monday on 105.3 FM of the timeline for Beebe’s return. “But there’s probably a pretty good chance that he’ll end up on IR.”
Beebe, 24, immediately became a mainstay on the Dallas offensive line after he was selected in the third round of the 2024 NFL Draft. The Kansas State alum transitioned from playing guard in college to starting 16 games as a rookie center for the Cowboys in 2024 and starting the first two games this season.
Brock Hoffman, a backup guard who replaced Beebe at center in overtime of the Giants win, is expected to step into the starting lineup in his place.
Per NFL Network, a move to place Beebe on the injured reserve would come with the expectation he would return for the second half of the season.
A recovery timeline of six to eight weeks would put him in line to return sometime between the road game at Denver on Oct. 26 and the road game at Las Vegas Nov. 17 coming out of the team’s bye week.
