The Cowboys placed a second-round tender on Bass on Saturday, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The move means that the Cowboys will be eligible to match any offer sheet that a team gives Bass, who is a restricted free agent. Bass started in five of 16 regular-season games in 2025 and will look to compete for a permanent starting role in 2026, wherever that might be.

The Cowboys are planning to use a second-round tender on Bass (knee), Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Per Fowler, the second-round tender for Bass would amount to $5.8 million. The pending restricted free agent guard -- who is bouncing back from a knee issue that landed him on IR on Jan. 3 -- has 10 career starts to his credit through 48 regular-season games with the Cowboys over the past three seasons.

The Cowboys placed Bass (knee) on injured reserve Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Bass was already ruled out for the Cowboys' matchup against the Giants after being unable to practice all week, but this move likely made space for Nick Leverett to act as a depth piece on the active roster. Hakeem Adeniji and Brock Hoffman are both options to see increased reps on the offensive line.

Bass (knee) didn't practice Wednesday, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 26-year-old from Oregon likely needs to practice in a limited fashion either Thursday or Friday in order to play in Sunday's season finale against the Giants. If Bass is sidelined in Week 18, expect Hakeem Adeniji to operate as the Cowboys' top left guard.

Bass (thigh) carries no injury designation into Sunday's game against the Commanders, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bass missed the Cowboys' last two games due to a thigh injury he suffered against the Panthers in Week 15. He ended the week strong with a full practice Friday, and he'll serve in a depth role at guard Sunday behind starters Tyler Smith and Brock Hoffman.

Bass (thigh) is inactive for Sunday's matchup with the Eagles.
EDGE Analysis
The offensive guard has not practiced since suffering the thigh injury in the Cowboys' Week 15 win over the Panthers. With Zack Martin (ankle) on injured reserve, Dallas only has two healthy guards in Tyler Smith and Brock Hoffman.

Bass (thigh) is listed as doubtful ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Eagles, Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bass sustained a thigh injury in the Cowboys' Week 15 win over the Panthers and hasn't practiced since, so it's no surprise that he'll likely be sidelined Sunday. With Bass expected to miss the Week 17 contest, the only offensive guards without an injury designation currently on Dallas' active roster are Tyler Smith and Brock Hoffman.

Bass (thigh) is inactive for Sunday night's contest against Tampa Bay, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bass suffered a thigh injury in Week 15 against the Panthers and he will now be forced to miss at least one contest as a result. In his absence, Dakoda Shepley will likely operate as the primary reserve option at interior offensive line.
