There was already some angst surrounding the Dallas Cowboys coming into this season due to the a number of holes they’ve all through their roster.
However now, issues have gone from unhealthy to worse for them.
They fell to the Atlanta Falcons, 27-21, on Sunday for his or her third loss in a row, which dropped their document to 3-5, and even worse, they misplaced quarterback Dak Prescott to a hamstring damage.
Prescott is predicted to overlook a number of weeks because of this, and Nick Wright mentioned on Fox Sports activities 1’s “First Issues First” that the Cowboys’ “season is definitively over.”
With Prescott unable to play, Cooper Rush will take over below middle, however the Cowboys merely have too many issues to repair with the time that’s remaining within the season.
They could have the NFL’s weakest speeding offense they usually’re unable to cease the run defensively, which is a giant cause they rank thirty first in factors given up.
Additionally they don’t have a clear-cut WR2 behind CeeDee Lamb, and their two finest defensive backs — DaRon Bland and Trevon Diggs — are coping with accidents.
Dallas has dedicated a lot of cash to each Prescott and Lamb within the type of large contract extensions they not too long ago gave out, which is able to make it troublesome for them to unravel their roster deficiencies.
They’ve the Philadelphia Eagles, Houston Texans and Washington Commanders arising on their schedule over the subsequent three weeks, which now makes it appear unlikely they’ll make the playoffs, not to mention make an prolonged run there.
