The Cowboys are still dealing with secondary injuries, but their OL may be whole again for the first time since Week 2.
Midseason rhythm is a funny thing in the NFL. For the Dallas Cowboys, they were granted an extra day of preparation before taking on the Arizona Cardinals in Week 9. Coming off an embarrassing defeat in Denver on Sunday, the team gets 24 additional hours, facing off at home on Monday night. They’re opponent, however, is coming off an extra eight days of rest, the Cardinals having a bye in Week 8.
The extra time allowed Arizona’s starting QB Kyler Murray to get closer to returning to the field, however he’s listed as questionable this week. Cardinals HC Jonathan Gannon has already stated Murray will not start, and the Dallas defense will look to avoid the Josh Dobbs Effect as Jacoby Brissett gets the nod.
That defense for Dallas is once again shorthanded. Though they appear to be getting Juanyeh Thomas back, the team is still withouth their starting safeties, and UDFA Alijah Clark has also been ruled out. Dallas will once again be without one of their starting linebackers, but it appears they will get a long-lost offensive lineman Cooper Beebe.
The Cowboys center is in line to return for his first action since Week 2.
