Bass (thigh) is inactive for Sunday night's contest against Tampa Bay, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

Bass (thigh) is questionable to play Sunday against Tampa Bay, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports. Bass was forced out of last Sunday's win against Carolina due to a thigh injury, and he logged a DNP/LP/DNP progression during practice this week. The second-year pro started last week at right guard to help cover for the absence of center Cooper Beebe (concussion), but with Beebe cleared to return this Sunday, Bass likely will return to a rotational role if he's able to suit up.
Bass sustained a thigh injury and will not return to Sunday's game against the Panthers, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports. Bass moved up into a starting role at right guard Sunday because Brock Hoffman slid over to fill in at center with Cooper Beebe (concussion) inactive. It's unclear how Dallas will sort out its offensive line for the remainder of Sunday's contest. Bass' next opportunity to play will come versus the Buccaneers on Sunday, Dec. 22.
Bass (elbow) is participating in the Cowboys' organized team activities, Mickey Spagnola of the team's official website reports. Bass underwent elbow surgery following the 2023 campaign. The undrafted rookie earned a spot on Dallas' 53-man roster, but spent most of the season backing up Tyler Smith at guard. However, he did start two contests. His participation at OTAs indicates his health is back up to par heading into his second season.
