  "account": "The Dallas Cowboys are facing mounting injury concerns ahead of their Sunday matchup against the Arizona Cardinals at AT&T Stadium, as two key starters join the injury report. Defensive tackle Kenny Clark, who had practiced without issues earlier in the week, is now listed as questionable due to a back problem. Tight end Luke Schoonmaker is expected to miss his third consecutive game due to a groin injury, leaving the third-string tight end spot vacant. While the defensive side of the ball shows promise with three players returning from injury, including Safety P.J. Locke, linebacker Marist Liufau, and defensive tackle Jonathan Bullard, the offensive line remains uncertain. George Pickens, who has been dealing with shoulder and hamstring issues, is also listed as questionable. With Schoonmaker's absence, the team may need to rely even more on the run game and fullback Hunter Luepke, who has been praised for his versatility. Coach Brian Schottenheimer emphasized the importance of the defensive health improvement, stating that the return of Locke, Liufau, and Bullard is a significant boost for the unit. The Cowboys will face a challenging task, as Arizona defeated them in the last four meetings and holds a 2-5 record. Prescott acknowledged the need to respect the Cardinals, but remains confident in the team's ability to overcome the obstacles. The game is scheduled to kick off at 1 p.m. ET on Sunday.",
