The New York Jets have no new injuries to report on Thursday as they prepare for a Week 2 road game against the Dallas Cowboys.

Three Jets, all of whom are offensive starters, appeared on the official injury report as limited participants for the second day in a row. Running back Breece Hall, left tackle Duane Brown and right tackle Mekhi Becton are the only players who currently carry an injury status for the Green & White.

"Injury wise, Duane, Mekhi and Breece will be limited. No different than a week ago," said Jets' third-year head coach Robert Saleh prior to Wednesday's walk-through practice.

The trio of starters, who held up throughout the 22-16 overtime win over the Bills, appear to be on some sort of maintenance plan after undergoing offseason surgeries. Brown and Becton played all 54 offensive snaps in the season opener while Hall accompanied them on field 31 percent of the time.

Meanwhile, three Cowboys' starting offensive linemen are appeared on the official document filed with the league office with right Zack Martin being a new addition. In all five Dallas starters hold an injury designation in Week 2.

Martin, who was a limited participant due to a groin issue, joined left guard Tyler Smith and left tackle Tyron Smith.  The left guard did not practice for the second day in a row, but the left tackle has been a full participant this week.

Receiver Brandin Cooks was also a non-participant as he deals with a knee injury suffered during the season-opening win over the New York Giants. Dallas safety Donovan Wilson was upgraded to limited on Thursday. 

"Tyler is gonna work with rehab today and see if we can integrate him. Brandin, probably same mode," said Cowboys' head coach Mike McCarthy ahead of Thursday's practice.
