Labor Day was the first day back on the job for longtime offensive lineman Jason Peters. The 40-year-old signed a deal with Dallas and was already giving pointers to rookie tackle Tyler Smith on Monday. The former Eagle also talked about now suiting up for his former rival, walking back some smack talk he made a few years ago. We hit the film room to see what the nine-time Pro Bowler can bring to the Cowboys O-line, and we reveal who had to be cut in order to bring the veteran aboard.
Meanwhile, we run down all the new numbers in the Cowboys locker room this season, we get encouraging injury updates on both Michael Gallup and Jourdan Lewis, and we investigate whether the Dallas front office has done enough to help Mike McCarthy succeed this year. We look at bold predictions for a few Cowboys in 2022, and we forecast their playoff chances. And Cowboys legend Deion Sanders suffers a tragic loss in the family on the same day his son makes a huge splash on the football field. That’s all up next in News and Notes.
