Notable breaking news
The Cowboys won every home game at AT&T Stadium last year, in the regular season only, of course, and will look to pick up where they left off in that regard.
Injury Updates
On Sunday morning, it seemed unlikely that Jake Ferguson would play for the Cowboys, but fortunately, the week has shown that he appears to have avoided serious injury last week in Cleveland.
(UPDATE): Jake Ferguson is out, as is New Orleans cornerback Marshon Lattimore.
NFL news relevant to the Cowboys
On Saturday, the San Francisco 49ers placed running back Christian McCaffrey on the injured list. He is expected to miss at least the next four games, which will keep him out until Week 5. The Cowboys visit San Francisco in Week 8, the first game after Dallas’s off period.
Also injured was Philadelphia wide receiver AJ Brown, who was officially listed as questionable on Saturday afternoon. The Eagles host the Atlanta Falcons on Monday night.
