The Dallas Cowboys released the team's final injury report for Week 8 against the Broncos, with two starters and two fan-favorites nearing a return ruled out.

The Dallas Cowboys know they got a major steal when they traded a third round draft pick for WR George Pickens. Maybe they didn't know to what extent in May when the move occurred, but they know now.

Ezeiruaku showed up in Denver with a plan and the horsepower to run it. He varied his get-off, used his long arms to straighten the tackle, and kept his outside hip free so Bo Nix couldn’t scramble. On pressure downs he paired speed-to-power with a late inside counter, twice forcing hurried checkdowns.

The Cowboys tried trading for Maxx Crosby and Trey Hendrickson before the NFL deadline, but both teams rejected Jerry Jones’ offers.

The Denver Broncos had their way in a feeding frenzy against the depleted secondary and listless pass rush of the Dallas Cowboys.

The Cowboys got CeeDee Lamb back while the Commanders ruled out Terry McLaurin ahead of Sunday’s divisional matchup at AT&T Stadium.

It feels exhausting to consider that the Cowboys defense may have to have four coordinators in as many years with 2026 changes, but right now it is hard to see any other future. Matt Eberflus continues to play soft defenses and stick with his zone principles and it is hindering things on almost a play-by-play basis.
