The Cowboys’ injury report is growing… and becoming more troubling. Not only did Ezekiel Elliott sit out for a second straight day as details about his right knee remain fuzzy, but now Micah Parsons and Sam Williams are less than 100%, too. If Elliott can’t go Sunday, Tony Pollard says he’s ready to carry the load against a Chicago run defense that looks vulnerable.
Meanwhile, Cowboys Nation is keeping an eye on next Tuesday’s trade deadline to see if the front office makes a move to bolster the wide receiving corps. We’re looking at the names who might make sense; one of them already knows his way around the building, and another wouldn’t require giving up a player or draft pick. All that, plus Dan Quinn has had his “whoa moment,” Micah Parsons got his Madden wish, and we relive Emmitt Smith’s historic moment on the 20th anniversary of him breaking the all-time rushing record. Here’s the News and Notes.
