Mike McCarthy gave updates on the injuries to Micah Parsons and DaRon Bland during his Wednesday press conference, two players the Cowboys defense certainly want back.

There is a plan in place for the Dallas Cowboys, with Dak Prescott sidelined due to injury; and Cooper Rush and Trey Lance know the assignment.

Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb are the latest franchise players in Dallas to be bitten by the injury bug, and that means the Cowboys have to shuffle and pray.

Cooper Rush will likely be called upon once again to lead the Dallas Cowboys offense after reports indicate that Dak Prescott will miss several weeks with a hamstring injury.

Rico Dowdle led the Cowboys to their best performance on the ground this season, as Dallas averaged 6.5 yards per carry as a team in the loss to the Atlanta Falcons.

We've seen this script too many times this year, and it played out again on Sunday in Atlanta as a slow start doomed the Cowboys, whose fourth-quarter rally wasn't enough.

It's not been the glorious reunion either envisioned, and the Dallas Cowboys must now decide how to proceed with Ezekiel Elliott.

The injury bug has struck again, this time another cornerstone player succumbing to it, Dak Prescott suffering a hamstring injury against the Atlanta Falcons.

Plays that might get forgotten include a few times in which the Cowboys couldn't come through in short-yardage situations.

The Cowboys fall 27-21 to the Falcons but also suffer key injuries to Dak Prescott and potentially CeeDee Lamb.
