The Cowboys were back at practice Wednesday, and although the injury report appeared lengthy, Dallas should have a large compliment of players who didn't suit up against Indianapolis, returning against San Francisco.
With the Colts still in mind, Dallas faces the possibility of facing the same receiver for the second week in a row. After dressing for Indianapolis, wideout Keenan Allen has the rare opportunity to face the same opponent two weeks in a row after the veteran receiver was shipped to the 49ers just before the NFL trade deadline.
With San Fran on deck, memories of trading edge Charles Haley remain a turning point in the rivalry. This past offseason, Dallas shipped interior defensive lineman Osa Odighizuwa to the Bay Area prompting some
to wonder if the Cowboys traded the wrong defensive tackle to what looks like a superior opponent.
Within the division, it was revealed that the Giants, who were actively shopping for a running back, called the Falcons in an attempt to land rusher Bijan Robinson but were quickly rebuffed. Either way, Dallas fans might be rooting for the Commanders when they face New York on Thursday Night Football in hopes that the Cowboys can shorten the gap.
Around the NFL, former Jets head coach and current ESPN analyst Rex Ryan was arrested for allegedly running over the feet of two pedestrians. Fellow employee and Monday Night Football color commentator Troy Aikman has yet to vacate his post but his position already has suitors with newly minted Hall of Fame QB Drew Brees throwing his hat in the ring as a possible replacement.
