The Dallas Cowboys are coming off their bye week to take on the Los Angeles Rams, and there’s some questions about the offensive line that need answering. Yet again, left tackle Tyron Smith finds himself on the injury report but Jerry Jones remains optimistic that he will play. That becomes evermore crucial because Dallas needs continuity on a unit that’s seen better days.
Behind that front is quarterback Dak Prescott, whose poise in the face of adversity continues, and he doesn’t get caught up in the criticisms. That doesn’t mean his teammates won’t defend him, and the Lion stood his ground about any unnecessary commentary going his quarterback’s way. Heading into this week, it’ll also be interesting to see if Prescott has the same usage in the rushing game that was so successful against the Chargers.
The trade deadline is approaching and there could be reinforcements at cornerback if the Cowboys elect to be aggressive. Who the perfect fit at the deadline is, Prescott’s respect for a Los Angeles star and more in the latest News and Notes.
