Philip Nelson #9 of the Dallas Renegades drops back to pass during the XFL game against the St. Louis BattleHawks at Globe Life Park on February 9, 2020 in Arlington, Texas.

The NY Guardians go into Dallas coming off their second win of the season, an upset victory over the LA Wildcats, while the Renegades are coming off a loss to the league-leading Houston Roughnecks. Dallas also lost starting quarterback Landry Jones. We will see Philip Nelson get the start, but if he can’t get the job done, rushing quarterback Eric Dungey could start seeing snaps as well.

The Guardians played better with Luis Perez starting last week and should lean his way for the start this week, but we are still awaiting word on the official starter. Matt McGloin did split reps with Perez in practice and there’s a chance he gets the start.

The injury report is fairly tame this week, as we already knew Landry Jones would be out. Their biggest loss is guard Salesi Uhatafe, who will miss his second game in a row. The Guardians rank second in sacks and Pro Football Focus has their pass rush as the best in the league.

The Guardians only questionable player is cornerback Andrew Soroh. He was able to get a full practice in on Thursday, so he is likely to play. If he were to miss, his loss wouldn’t be severe, as he’s been below average on the season.
