The Cowboys announced Monday that Jourdan Lewis will be out of action for the rest of the season due to a broken foot.

Lewis was hurt in the fourth quarter.

Lewis ends his year with 26 tackles, one interception and one sack

Dallas can still depend on the anchor of the secondary. Through seven games, the All- Pro has three picks and 11 passes defended.

Lewis' absence will have an impact on a defense that is allowing the fourth-fewest passing yards (185.1).

DaRon Bland, a fifth-round draft pick, is expected to replace Lewis as the nickelback. Lewis was out with a groin issue in the Week 4 win over the Washington Commanders.

The injury could cause some uncertainty for Lewis in the springtime.

According to Spotrac, the Cowboys will have just $7.3 million in salary-cap space for the next two years.

Dallas will save $5 million in the final year of his contract if he is cut Lewis. He might be expendable when the season is over if the front office has any doubts about his long-term future.
