As the Cowboys turn the page in earnest to the New York Football Giants, some personnel pieces are falling into place. While Michael Gallup is tracking to play and Jason Peters has a chance to go, tight end Dalton Schultz is still a question mark after his PCL sprain last Sunday. If he’s unavailable, two rookie backups are eager to step up and show what they’ve learned. First-year man Tyler Smith continues to impress, Brett Maher is savoring this stint wearing the star, and the defense is the surprise of the season thus far.
Elsewhere, those reports about Dak Prescott being ready to go in Week 4 seem unlikely, the Cowboys get back a rookie prospect, and a new batch of quarterbacks and receivers get workouts Wednesday. We’ve got a report on KaVontae Turpin’s slam dunk game, we look at why every matchup on the Week 3 docket is worth watching, and the Giants are preparing to turn MetLife Stadium into a sea of white under the Monday Night lights. That’s all up next in News and Notes.
