Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb took the bye week as an opportunity to get better.<\/p>\n
\nWith two weeks to recalibrate and to prepare for the coming battle against the\u00a0San Francisco 49ers, the two attacked the issue in balance with also allowing their bodies (and minds) to rest and reset.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe love a bye week,\u201d said Lamb. \u201cLet\u2019s just say that we took advantage of it. Anything we felt like we missed out on together as a unit, as a duo, we hopped on it and got right to work, used every day, every opportunity that we could to get better. I feel like it\u2019s going to show.\u201d<\/p>\n
For his part, Prescott agrees.<\/p>\n
\u201cI can just tell you now, it\u2019s been better in these last couple of days,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Having drawn criticism as of late from Hall of Fame quarterback and Cowboys\u2019 legend Troy Aikman, Lamb accepted the intent behind the statement and isn\u2019t shying away from the accountability component of it all.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve got to be better overall \u2014 that\u2019s all,\u201d the All-Pro wideout said in response to Aikman\u2019s assessment of Dallas\u2019 current crop of receivers and their route running.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
DeMarvion Overshown: Cowboys can\u2019t use injuries as excuse to not improve – Josh Sanchez, Sports Illustrated<\/h3>\n
DeMarvion Overshown talked to the media about overcoming injuries and preparing for the San Francisco 49ers this Sunday.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cWe just got to trust our training and trust the brothers that we play with out on the field,\u201d Overshown told\u00a0DallasCowboys.com. \u201cWe\u2019ve got a lot of players down and so do they, but we can\u2019t use that excuse [for not] playing good football. We\u2019ve all been playing this game for a long time and we know our end goal, and that\u2019s to go 1-0 every week.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s the plan this week too.\u201d<\/p>\n
San Francisco has beaten Dallas in each of the past three seasons, so coming away with a big win after an embarrassing effort the last time they saw the field would be a major victory for the Cowboys.<\/p>\n
The 49ers will be shorthanded on offense, but it\u2019s up to the defense to stay disciplined and do their job to set the rest of the team up for success.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve got to get going,\u201d said the former rookie third-round pick. \u201cThose first six weeks \u2014 September football, early October football \u2014 you\u2019re still trying to figure it out. We\u2019ve seen some ups and we\u2019ve seen some very lows. So we know this is a good opponent that we\u2019re looking forward to, and in a crazy atmosphere.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Mike McCarthy remains confident in Cowboys, despite struggles – Ali Jawad, Sports Illustrated<\/h3>\n
Despite all of the chaos outside of the locker room, Mike McCarthy believes the team is focused on improving.<\/p>\n
\nWhen asked about the team\u2019s focus and intensity coming off the bye week, McCarthy acknowledged the challenges posed by the team\u2019s inexperience but stressed the importance of continued progress and building chemistry.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think we\u2019re a team that\u2019s growing,\u201d McCarthy said. \u201cI think that\u2019s really where we were coming out of training camp. You could see it in Oxnard. We did a lot of good things, but our inexperience whether it\u2019s a young player or a new veteran that\u2019s arrived at the time he\u2019s arrived. You just got to keep working for those things together. The belief, the energy, and all that.\u201d<\/p>\n
Despite external perceptions, McCarthy assured that the locker room is filled with belief and energy.<\/p>\n
\u201cTrust me, what goes on outside the locker room is not an illustration of what\u2019s going on in the locker room,\u201d McCarthy stated.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe practices, the way they go about it, the energy that they bring into the meetings, we\u2019re getting better. I see it. I believe it. I do feel strongly, they believe it. It\u2019s easy to come in here and talk about all the things that haven\u2019t gone right. That\u2019s not a clear picture of our football team.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
NFL trade deadline: Salary cap space, draft picks for 32 teams – NFL Nation Reporters, ESPN<\/h3>\n
The trade deadline is approaching. What does that mean for the\u00a0Dallas Cowboys?<\/p>\n
\n8. Dallas Cowboys: Cap space: $22.7 million<\/p>\n
Looks can be deceiving when it comes to cap space. The Cowboys have plenty of it \u2014 until you remember they need more than $20 million for the impending dead money on the contracts of guard Zack Martin, defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence and wide receiver Brandin Cooks once their deals are voided in 2025 (and if they\u2019re not re-signed).<\/p>\n
Dallas will restructure the contracts of quarterback Dak Prescott and wide receiver CeeDee Lamb by March to create more space. But the front office has been clear in its approach: The Cowboys will not play at the high end of the free agency market. As a result, keeping their top draft picks is even more of a must with how they want to build their roster.\u00a0\u2014 Todd Archer<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Brandon Aubrey jury duty: Will Cowboys kicker play in Week 8? – Jacob Camenker, USA Today<\/h3>\n
Despite fulfilling his civic duty on a jury, Brandon Aubrey should not miss any game time.<\/p>\n
\nAubrey missed Cowboys practice on Wednesday, Oct. 23 for jury duty and was selected to serve on a 12-person jury for a felony assault case in Tarrant County, centered around a second-degree strangulation charge, per\u00a0Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.<\/p>\n
It was Aubrey\u2019s decision to partake in jury duty on Wednesday, though the Cowboys attempted to \u201cpull him away\u201d from it, the Star-Telegram reports.<\/p>\n
Aubrey is expected to return to court on Thursday and Friday. Judge David Hagerman \u2013 who is reportedly presiding over the case, per\u00a0ESPN\u2019s Todd Archer\u00a0\u2013 is also expected to work with Aubrey around his football schedule.<\/p>\n
Still, there is no clear timetable on the case\u2019s length, so Aubrey\u2019s ability to participate in Cowboys practice moving forward is murky…<\/p>\n
…While Aubrey\u2019s ability to practice may come into question, it doesn\u2019t appear he will be in danger of missing any games.<\/p>\n
The case will not require jurors to be sequestered, according to the Star-Telegram. That will allow Aubrey to be available for nights and weekends, which should allow him to kick in Dallas\u2019 \u201cSunday Night Football\u201d against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 8.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
