The 2020 NFL season has been an injury-filled one for the Dallas Cowboys. However, per team owner Jerry Jones, starters Tyron Smith, DeMarcus Lawrence, and Trevon Diggs are all expected to play this Sunday vs the Cleveland Browns despite limited practice time this week. After five years away from the league, former All-Pro defensive end Aldon Smith is currently leading the NFL in sacks and looks like he hasn’t missed a beat.
If the Cowboys can establish a lead against the Browns Sunday, maybe second-year running back Tony Pollard can see more touches than the four rushing attempts he’s had in the first three games. The Cowboys defense will not only have to face Odell Beckham and Jarvis Landry in the passing game but also Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt toting the rock. Predictions for Cowboys-Browns, Dak Prescott’s continued progression, and when will Mike McCarthy start showing he’s an upgrade at head coach and more are covered in the news and notes.
