Cowboys fans aren’t crazy about the names already on the injury report just one game into the new season, but the news isn’t as dire as it might seem. Zack Martin, Brandin Cooks, Jourdan Lewis, and Tyler Smith all give encouraging updates as to their respective conditions.

Elsewhere, Micah Parsons is gearing up for a defensive showdown on Sunday, even though Jets quarterback Zach Wilson wants to come to town doing his best Aaron Rodgers impersonation. Mike McCarthy is focused on shutting down the New York run game, KaVontae Turpin looks to be more than just a gadget guy for the Cowboys in 2023, Trevon Diggs and Stephon Gilmore are set to take the league by storm, and we’re looking at how the Dallas offense used one personnel package to great success in Week 1. All that, plus uniform news as the Cowboys reveal what they’ll wear when, including a new helmet decal this week… and we try to clear up the confusion about a rumored alteration that would have really stood out. News and Notes, coming right up.

A performance like the one turned in by the Cowboys defense in Week 1 doesn’t happen often. As it turns out, it’s actually never happened before at all. We’re still processing the significance of Dallas’s big win, including how it helped the club in the newest power rankings, which veteran seemed like his younger self, and what one coach had to say about what the team held back on. Plus, if you thought watching the game was fun, wait until you re-live it as it happened on the Cowboys sideline.

Elsewhere, Jerry Jones responds to a troubling allegation of racially insensitive remarks, how Dak Prescott compares to every Cowboys quarterback of the last 30-plus years in one key category, and what the Aaron Rodgers news will mean for the Cowboys as the Jets prepare to fly to Dallas without their top gun. All that and more in a packed edition of News and Notes.

Of all the memorable moments from Sunday night’s demolition of the rival Giants, Cowboys Nation spent much of Monday still talking about that blocked field goal that put the team’s first points on the board and triggered the avalanche that led to a historic 40-0 final. But the inside story of how that special teams highlight actually unfolded perfectly illustrates the unselfish team-first mentality that the 2023 Cowboys hope to ride all the way to a sixth Lombardi Trophy.

Elsewhere, the Cowboys will be paying close attention to news on Aaron Rodgers’s leg after an injury forced him out of Monday’s contest. Our postgame coverage and analysis of Week 1’s win includes thoughts from coaches and coordinators, a record set by CeeDee Lamb, a look at who dazzled and who fizzled, Micah Parsons looking for a commission, Tony Pollard previewing even bigger things from his RB room, Dak Prescott lighting up the stopwatches, and Dan Quinn paying special tribute to the heroes of 9/11. Here’s your News and Notes.

Now that the regular season is back in session, Dak Prescott has revealed a bit about what he did on his summer vacation. We’ve got the inside scoop on that Georgia lake retreat he and a host of teammates took, complete with lessons from a Navy SEAL team on how to maximize personal performance in the most pressure-filled moments. But we’ve also got the big secret he kept from his head coach and owner.

Meanwhile, the Thursday injury report has another Dallas offensive lineman on it (though who it is won’t come as a shock), a lawsuit against Jerry Jones is set to move forward, and CeeDee Lamb is done talking about whether a new contract is coming. Mike McCarthy has quite a compliment for his rookie kicker, the key to 2023 might actually be the defense getting better, the Cowboys’ odds for a Super Bowl win have been recalculated, and the team’s home venue has unveiled an absolutely cringeworthy new use for AI. That’s all up in News and Notes.

Tyler Smith has definitive word on how bad his hamstring injury is, but we don’t yet know what it means for his availability on Sunday. We’ve got the latest on that, plus what Jerry Jones had to say about the team’s O-line depth, and how an injury up front this year may not necessarily mean a repeat of last season’s shuffle.

Meanwhile, number-crunching has already started when it comes to the Cowboys’ two biggest stars; how the dollars and cents have to add up to keep Dak Prescott and Micah Parsons wearing the star. We’ve also got a preview of the next edition of the Cowboys-Giants rivalry through the eyes of two of Big Blue’s newest playmakers, what forgotten factor might end up being the Cowboys’ biggest weakness in 2023, and how the team is expected to do in terms of wins (the answer is all over the map, depending on who you ask). All that, plus Coach Prime’s sons pay a cool tribute on the field with a Cowboys connection, and Troy Aikman reveals how close he actually came to coming out of retirement to play football again… for someone else. News and Notes, coming right up.

The Cowboys organization lost one of its founding fathers and greatest innovators on Thursday. We join the NFL family in looking back and honoring the legacy of Gil Brandt to kick off this edition of News and Notes.

Elsewhere, Zack Martin gets a shiny new surprise, Noah Igbinoghene gets a new opportunity, several Cowboys get new jersey numbers, and Simi Fehoko gets a new team. We take a look at the race to sign CeeDee Lamb before the market gets reset, we look at the former Packer who head coach Mike McCarthy sees when he looks at Hunter Luepke, we get a glimpse at what Micah Parsons was like as a running back, and we explore the dangerous game Dallas is playing at the center position. All that, plus the Cowboys lead the money list again, ESPN makes playoff predictions, and which team is in better shape: the Cowboys or the team that’s knocked them out of the postseason the past two years?
