Bland’s new ankle designation turns Dallas’ cornerback planning into a two-player contingency, even as Joey Porter Jr. makes limited Friday progress.
Cooper Flagg went from 43 points Monday to 12 Thursday, but Dallas’ loss to Minnesota showed why a young star’s production must be read alongside the team around him.
KaVontae Turpin worked on a limited basis Wednesday after missing the Indianapolis game. Dallas also listed George Pickens as limited and Jonathan Mingo as a nonparticipant.
Jerry Jones’ Tuesday clarification cuts through deadline speculation around George Pickens, leaving Dallas with a simpler question: how should the offense prepare for an important receiver whose availability is uncertain?
Tyler Goodson’s 12 carries revealed a productive second option for Dallas. His Monday absence now forces the Cowboys to redistribute rushing, passing and roster duties around Javonte Williams.
Tyler Goodson ran for a career-high 77 yards, Javonte Williams added 101 and Dallas leaned on its backfield in a 27-23 win over Indianapolis.
Rice ran for 261 yards, but North Texas’ two takeaways became 14 points and the Mean Green’s opportunism overwhelmed an otherwise imperfect defensive showing.
Brendan Baird made field goals from 47, 26 and 50 yards before halftime, then finished with 15 points as SMU beat Virginia Tech 51-28.
Caleb Downs and P.J. Locke returned to limited work Thursday, but concussion clearance—not the participation label—must guide Dallas' preparation for Indianapolis.
George Pickens’ hamstring limitation was joined by restrictions for Tyler Smith and Luke Schoonmaker, while Dallas also managed uncertainty in the secondary.
The Stars led Washington 5-1 with 3:02 left in the second, then carried a far less comfortable game into the intermission before winning 6-5.
Cooper Flagg created points at the foul line and through six assists, yet 3-for-19 shooting and six turnovers limited Dallas in a 115-100 loss to Sacramento.
SMU scored on all four red-zone trips and led 27-20, but Syracuse’s 4-for-4 fourth-down performance kept possessions alive long enough to produce a 30-27 comeback.
Cooper Flagg’s 12-point first quarter and late scoring drew attention, but his rebounding and passing gave Dallas the broader performance it needed in a 116-111 win over Houston.
North Texas beat Florida Atlantic in Denton, but Easton Messer’s 16 catches, 189 yards and three touchdowns exposed how little defensive margin the Mean Green had.
Shaq Moore helped create FC Dallas’ better chances against Columbus, forced a save and had a finish erased after Petar Musa was ruled offside. The 2-0 defeat still exposed a broader failure to convert.
The Colts moved Quenton Nelson and DeForest Buckner to Seattle and San Francisco, reshaping three Cowboys matchups without creating an automatic advantage.
Ryan Flournoy caught all four passes thrown his way for 70 yards, supplying the connective gains that helped Dallas combine Javonte Williams’ rushing production with touchdown catches from CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens.
The Mavericks recovered from fourteen points down against San Antonio, then scored only seventeen in the final quarter of a 122-106 defeat.
The Mavericks’ 34-point halftime lead carried them to a 121-105 victory, but Indiana’s 62-44 second half exposed a less convincing side of Dallas’s performance.
Wyatt Johnston ended his scoreless opening stretch, then helped set up the goal that Dallas needed to reach overtime.
Cooper Flagg scored efficiently and reached the foul line in Houston. Dallas still needed cleaner creation around him—and from him.
