Cowboys | Jerry Jones says Dak Prescott is healthy Tue Nov 3, 09:41 AM
Cowboys QB Dak Prescott is healthy, owner Jerry Jones said on Tuesday on 105.3 The Fan. "I thought he played well (Sunday) considering the protection and us not being able to get the running game going," Jones said of Prescott's performance in Sunday's loss to the Cardinals.
| Footballguys view: For the second time this season, Prescott threw for fewer than 200 yards (195) against Arizona. His touchdown pass required a one-handed catch from WR Ryan Flournoy. Prescott was able to use his legs, picking up his first rushing touchdown of the season, but, as ESPN.com's Todd Archer suggested, for a team with so many playmakers, the Cowboys have been kept in check in three of their past four games. |

Cowboys | Malachi Lawrence's ankle injury 'could be a few weeks' Mon Nov 2, 06:57 PM
Cowboys rookie DE Malachi Lawrence suffered an ankle injury in Sunday's 33-30 overtime loss to the Cardinals and could miss multiple weeks, head coach Brian Schottenheimer said on Monday. "Malachi has [an injury] that might be a little bit longer... Looks like it could be a few weeks," Schottenheimer said, adding that the team will do more testing and that Lawrence's injury is "a little different" from the ankle injuries to TE Jake Ferguson and CB Joey Porter Jr. Lawrence, who had taken over a starting outside linebacker job over the last three games, played 38 snaps with four quarterback pressures on Sunday and has 13 tackles, three quarterback hits and a sack in eight games. With Lawrence set to miss time, the Cowboys' OLB room includes Rashan Gary, Donovan Ezeiruaku, James Houston, Von Miller and Tyrus Wheat.

Cowboys | Rookie S Caleb Downs in concussion protocol ahead of Week 9 at Colts Mon Nov 2, 03:58 PM
Cowboys rookie S Caleb Downs is in the concussion protocol, head coach Brian Schottenheimer said on Monday.
| Footballguys view: Downs must go through the five-step return-to-participation process and will have a full week to try to get cleared before the Week 9 game at the Colts on Sunday. He played 53 defensive snaps in Sunday's loss to the Cardinals, recording four tackles, including a goal-line stop of RB Jeremiyah Love on fourth-and-goal. Downs was limited in practice on Wednesday and Thursday last week with an ankle injury. |

Cowboys | Jake Ferguson suffered 'low ankle sprain' against Cardinals Sun Nov 1, 06:58 PM
Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson suffered a low ankle sprain in Sunday's loss to the Cardinals, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: Ferguson only managed four offensive snaps before an ankle injury caused him to miss the rest of the game. The Cowboys started the game down one tight end, as TE Luke Schoonmaker was inactive with a groin injury. This led Dallas to elevate James Mitchell from the practice squad, and he served as the TE2 behind Brevyn Spann-Ford, who has recently cut into Ferguson's work on early downs. |

George Pickens says shoulder is 'good,' will play Monday night at Eagles Fri Oct 23, 04:18 PM
Cowboys WR George Pickens said on Friday that his shoulder is good and that he is playing Monday night in Philadelphia. Pickens was limited in practice on Thursday with the shoulder injury. Asked what he needs to do to get more involved early in games, Pickens said: "I'm doing what they're telling me to do. So, (keep) doing what they tell me to do."
| Footballguys view: The vibes aren't great for a 2-4 Cowboys team, and Pickens' passive-aggressive comments about his role say more than he probably intended. There were expectations that he could elevate to WR1 status this year, but he's proven to be a boom-or-bust WR2, and he should be treated that way in Week 7 against the Eagles. |

Cowboys | Schottenheimer says Pickens 'needs to understand' his impact in the running game Thu Oct 22, 02:58 PM
Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer said on Thursday that WR George Pickens has to contribute more as a blocker, after being asked what Pickens can do himself to get more involved in the offense. "These guys play a lot of snaps. I think part of it is us rotating those guys through, but he needs to understand that he impacts us in the running game as well," Schottenheimer said, citing picking up safeties and blocking corners "just like Javonte does." Schottenheimer added that he doesn't see Pickens "really affected in terms of the emotion of, 'Does he get the ball? Does he not get the ball?'" and said that when Pickens isn't going, "the safeties get pretty good runs at our backs and that's got to improve."

Cowboys | Dak Prescott says no X-rays needed, 'just a bruise' after big hit Mon Oct 19, 02:04 AM

| Footballguys view: Green Bay intercepted Prescott's passes twice to thwart second-quarter scoring opportunities. Prescott went 34 of 54 for 258 yards. He threw a 6-yard touchdown pass to Ryan Flournoy with 44 seconds left, but couldn't connect with CeeDee Lamb on a 2-point conversion attempt.

Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb (thigh) was a full participant in practice again on Friday and does not carry an injury designation for Sunday night's game at the Packers. Lamb has been dealing with a quad bruise.
| Footballguys view: Lamb left Week 5's game early with a thigh bruise after struggling to get on the same page with Dak Prescott. Don't think of that game as anything more than a blip on an otherwise fantastic career. Get Lamb in your lineup as an elite WR1 this week against the Packers. |

Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb suffered a quad bruise in Thursday night's loss to the Buccaneers, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported on Friday. Lamb's injury is not expected to be major, and he should play in Week 6 against the Packers.
| Footballguys view: Seeing Lamb sit out late in a primetime game sparked expected panic among fantasy managers, but it's good to see he avoided a major injury. Lamb started slowly in this game before leaving, but he's still a plug-and-play WR1 against the Packers next week after an extended week of rest. |

| Footballguys view: Dak Prescott was sacked three times and hit 12 times in Sunday's win in Houston.

Cowboys | Dak Prescott cleated in throwing hand; QB says he'll be fine Sun Oct 4, 09:36 PM
Dak Prescott was sacked three times and hit 12 more with Texans pass rusher Will Anderson Jr. living in the Cowboys' backfield. His soreness was a good soreness, though. The Cowboys won 34-30 as Prescott threw a 12-yard touchdown pass to CeeDee Lamb with 40 seconds left. It was Prescott's 85th regular-season victory, tying Roger Staubach for second most in franchise history behind Troy Aikman's 94.
| Footballguys view: Prescott had his right hand wrapped while meeting with reporters postgame. He said his hand was stepped on when pressured by Jadeveon Clowney midway through the second quarter. Prescott was called for intentional grounding on the play. "Perfectly fine," Prescott told Jane Slater of NFL Media when asked about the injury. "Just wrapped so it doesn't get swollen . . . or more swollen." We'll follow up as needed. |

Cowboys | Williams runs for 62 yards, three TDs in win over Texans Sun Oct 4, 04:16 PM
Dallas Cowboys RB Javonte Williams ran 19 times for 62 yards and three touchdowns and also caught 5 passes for 21 yards on 5 targets in Sunday's 34-30 win over the Houston Texans. He was projected for 15.3 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 28.8.
| Footballguys view: The Cowboys running game got on track last week against the Ravens in Brazil, but Williams had a bigger fantasy football outburst in Week 4 thanks to the passing game getting up and down the field on the vaunted Texans defense, setting him up with beaucoup scoring opportunities, which he converted three of. Williams is a solid RB1 who was an excellent investment of a third-round pick in your draft heading into a Thursday night home game against the Bucs. |
