The Cowboys, like all other NFL teams, would rather the conversation not center around injury status this early in the season. But Dallas doesn’t have the power to manipulate this particular narrative. Fortunately, after spending the first two weeks as a limited participant, wide receiver Michael Gallup was a full-go on Thursday. The Cowboys may have WR2 back in the fold for Monday Night Football.
On the other side of the coin Dallas had six key players held out of practice, however the cold which kept linebacker Micah Parsons out doesn’t seem to put his availability in question for the Monday matchup with the Giants. The Cowboys have owned the matchup for years but are avoiding overlooking the opponent, especially with every win’s value increased due to quarterback Dak Prescott’s absence.
The strong performance of backup Cooper Rush presented a classic moment for team owner Jerry Jones to find another way to strike up conversation about his billion-dollar investment; inventing a potential QB controversy. Details on Jones’ comments, Parsons’ value all over the field and more in the latest Cowboys News and Notes.
