Practices in full Thursday
Thu, Oct 15, 2026, 8:44 PM
Porter (illness) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Analysis: Porter had been battling an illness and wasn't available in Week 5 versus the Buccaneers. He was limited during Wednesday's practice. However, his full participation Thursday means he will suit up in Week 6 versus Green Bay, barring a setback. |

Limited at practice Thursday
Thu, Oct 15, 2026, 8:35 PM
Overshown (hamstring) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Analysis: Overshown didn't practice Wednesday. However, his limited participation Thursday keeps the door open for his possible return Sunday versus the Packers after missing the last four games because of a hamstring injury. |

Set for increased opportunities
Wed, Oct 14, 2026, 9:06 PM
Lawrence is expected to get more opportunities on the Cowboys' defense moving forward, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Lawrence was selected in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft by Dallas, but he has yet to play more than 43 percent of the defensive snaps in a contest this season. The linebacker notched his first career sack in Week 5, bringing down Buccaneers quarterback Jalon Daniels in the team's 24-16 loss to Tampa Bay on Thursday Night Football. Lawrence has compiled 12 total tackles (six solo), including 1.0 sacks, and a pass defensed over five contests so far in his rookie campaign. |

Logs full practice Wednesday
Wed, Oct 14, 2026, 8:34 PM
Guyton (back) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Patrik Walker of the Cowboys' official site reports.
Analysis: Guyton departed the Cowboys' Week 5 loss to the Buccaneers late in the fourth quarter due to a back injury. After a set of X-rays, it was determined that the offensive tackle's back was fine. Guyton has promptly returned to practicing with the team at full capacity. |

Full participant Wednesday
Wed, Oct 14, 2026, 8:28 PM
Clark (hamstring) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Patrik Walker of the Cowboys' official site reports.
Analysis: Clark exited the Cowboys' Week 5 loss to the Buccaneers early with a hamstring injury. The safety quickly returned to full practice participation and has seemingly recovered from the game-day issue. |

Still sidelined by hamstring injury
Wed, Oct 14, 2026, 7:18 PM
Durant (hamstring) did not participate in Wednesday's practice, Patrik Walker of the Cowboys' official site reports.
Analysis: Durant has not practiced or played since tweaking his hamstring during the Cowboys' Week 2 win over the Commanders. He would likely miss a fourth unless he's able to return to practice in at least a limited capacity over the next two days. Once he's cleared to play, Durant will give the Cowboys depth in the secondary behind starting outside cornerbacks Joey Porter (illness) and DaRon Bland. |

Logs limited practice Wednesday
Wed, Oct 14, 2026, 7:14 PM
Porter (illness) was limited in Wednesday's practice session, Patrik Walker of the Cowboys' official site reports.
Analysis: An illness prevented Porter from playing against the Buccaneers in Week 5, but he was cleared to return to on-field activities during the first practice of Week 6 prep. A full practice over the next two days would likely be enough for Porter to avoid an injury designation ahead of Sunday's road game against the Packers. He figures to start opposite DaRon Bland at outside cornerback, with Cobie Durant (hamstring) and Ameer Speed (knee) providing depth at the position. |

DNP to open Week 6 prep
Wed, Oct 14, 2026, 7:09 PM
Overshown (hamstring) did not practice Wednesday, Patrik Walker of the Cowboys' official site reports.
Analysis: Overshown has missed the Cowboys' last four games due to a hamstring injury he sustained in Week 1 against the Giants. He's also been held out of practice since picking up his injury, so he would have to log at least a limited session over the next two days to have a realistic shot at returning for this Sunday's road game against the Packers. |
CeeDee Lamb CeeDee Lamb Full practice Wednesday
Wed, Oct 14, 2026, 4:17 PM
Lamb (thigh) was a full practice participant Wednesday, Patrik Walker of the Cowboys' official site reports.
Analysis: Lamb suffered what at the time was reported to be a quadriceps injury in the fourth quarter of last Thursday's loss to the Buccaneers. On Friday morning, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported that Lamb was tending to a bruised quad that wasn't deemed to be serious. Indeed, with an uncapped practice under his belt to begin Week 6 prep, what is now a listed thigh issue won't impact Lamb's availability for Sunday night's game at Green Bay. |
Emari Demercado Emari Demercado Signs to Cowboys' active roster
Tue, Oct 13, 2026, 7:51 PM
Dallas signed Demercado to its 53-man roster Tuesday, Tommy Yarrish of the Cowboys' official site reports.
Analysis: The Cowboys waived Demercado ahead of their Week 5 contest versus the Buccaneers, but he's now back with the club as it prepares for Week 6. As long as starter Javonte Williams and backup Tyler Goodson remain available, Demercado projects to be used only sparingly, if at all. |
|
Four tackles in loss
Sun, Oct 11, 2026, 7:22 PM
Downs recorded four total tackles (two solo) during Thursday night's 24-16 loss to Tampa Bay.
Analysis: Downs was on the field for all 72 of the team's defensive snaps, but his four takedowns were his second-fewest total in a game this season. The 21-year-old has now compiled 31 total tackles (19 solo), including 1.0 sacks, while also adding a pass defensed and two forced fumbles over the first five regular-season contests of his career. |
|
Double-digit stops in loss
Sun, Oct 11, 2026, 7:18 PM
Winters registered 10 total tackles (six solo) during Thursday night's 24-16 loss to the Buccaneers.
Analysis: Winters was able to lead the team in stops, notching his first double-digit tackle performance of the year. The linebacker has now compiled 35 total tackles (23 solo) and a fumble recovery over five contests to open the 2026 campaign. |
Jonathan Mingo Jonathan Mingo Catches two passes vs. Tampa Bay
Sat, Oct 10, 2026, 12:35 PM
Mingo caught two of four passes for 20 yards during the Cowboys' 24-16 loss to the Buccaneers on Thursday.
Analysis: All four of Mingo's targets from Dak Prescott came in the fourth quarter, coinciding with CeeDee Lamb's exit from the game due to a quad bruise. Lamb will have extra time to rest and recover ahead of the Cowboys' Week 6 tilt against the Packers on Sunday, Oct. 18, so Mingo figures to remain in a limited role in the passing game behind Lamb, George Pickens, Ryan Flournoy and tight end Jake Ferguson. |
KaVontae Turpin KaVontae Turpin Costly fumble during Thursday's loss
Sat, Oct 10, 2026, 12:31 PM
Turpin caught two of four passes for 22 yards during the Cowboys' 24-16 loss to the Buccaneers on Thursday. He also returned one punt for 10 yards and added 127 yards on five kickoff returns, fumbling on one of them.
Analysis: Right after the Buccaneers took a 21-10 lead midway through the third quarter, Turpin gave the ball right back to Tampa Bay on the ensuing kickoff after the ball was stripped from his hands, which led to a 41-yard field goal by Chase McLaughlin eight plays later. Turpin's receiving numbers were all season highs, though that was largely due to top wideout CeeDee Lamb leaving the game due to a quad bruise. Given the extra rest, Lamb is expected to play against the Packers on Sunday, Oct. 18, so most of Turpin's on-field impact will continue to come on special teams as a returner. |

X-rays negative on back
Fri, Oct 9, 2026, 9:11 PM
Head coach Brian Schottenheimer said Friday that X-rays on Guyton's back came back negative, Joe Hoyt of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Analysis: It's positive news for the third-year pro, who sustained a back injury late during the Cowboys' loss to the Buccaneers on Thursday. Dallas' Week 6 practice participation will provide clarity on Guyton's chances of playing against the Packers on Sunday, Oct. 18. |

CeeDee Lamb CeeDee Lamb Injury seemingly not serious
Fri, Oct 9, 2026, 7:44 AM
Lamb is believed to be dealing with a "quad bruise" that is "not considered to be serious," Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Lamb was deemed questionable to return to Thursday's loss to the Buccaneers after -- per the Cowboys' official website -- taking a "hit on the same quad that got hit last week," and although he briefly got back out there he was not on the field for his team's final drive. Lamb does not appear to be facing an extended absence and will have extra time to rest and recover before the Cowboys face the Packers in Week 6, but it could be a few days until the next update on his status arrives. |

Gets positive news from X-rays
Thu, Oct 8, 2026, 11:18 PM
Guyton had X-rays on his back that "looked good" following Thursday's loss to Tampa Bay, Patrik Walker of the Cowboys' official site reports.
Analysis: Guyton exited late in the contest Thursday and didn't return. Head coach Brian Schotenheimer seemed optimistic about Guyton's X-ray results but also indicated that the team will run more tests on the left tackle. It remains to be seen if Guyton will be able to play against the Packers in Week 6, though it may help his cause that he'll have 10 days to try to be ready to suit up. |
Brandon Aubrey Brandon Aubrey Makes lone FG try Thursday
Thu, Oct 8, 2026, 11:09 PM
Aubrey made his only field-goal attempt and his lone extra-point try in a Week 5 loss to Tampa Bay on Thursday.
Analysis: Aubrey didn't get many opportunities to kick, but he did nail a 41-yard FG just before halftime. The All-Pro kicker is now 9-for-12 on field-goal tries this season, with all of his misses (including two that were blocked) coming from at least 59 yards out. Aubrey is still one of the league's elite kickers, and he figures to continue getting opportunities from very deep considering the strength of his leg. |
Dak Prescott Dak Prescott Piles up yards late in Week 5 loss
Thu, Oct 8, 2026, 10:56 PM
Prescott completed 24 of 42 passes for 316 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions in the Cowboys' 24-16 loss to the Buccaneers on Thursday night.
Analysis: Prescott's final yardage number was sure to please fantasy managers, but there was a pretty sizable gulf between that figure and the veteran signal-caller's actual play-to-play performance most of the night. Prescott and the air attack struggled through more than a half against an aggressive Buccaneers defense, including on a third-quarter interception that led to a Tampa Bay touchdown. However, he came alive on a mid-fourth-quarter drive where the Cowboys sped up the pace, capping that 10-play, 99-yard possession off with an 18-yard touchdown pass to George Pickens. Prescott had Dallas moving again the next time he had the ball, but a pass that went off Jake Ferguson's hands over the middle was secured by Alex Anzalone for what turned out to be a game-sealing interception. Prescott completed a season-low 57.1 percent of his throws and failed to throw multiple touchdown passes for the third straight game, but he'll still take an impressive 9:3 TD:INT into a Week 6 road showdown against the Packers on Sunday night, Oct. 18. |
Javonte Williams Javonte Williams Another TD in Week 5 loss
Thu, Oct 8, 2026, 10:49 PM
Williams rushed 12 times for 45 yards and a touchdown and brought in two of three targets for 17 yards in the Cowboys' 24-16 loss to the Buccaneers on Thursday night.
Analysis: Williams' rushing opportunities were somewhat capped by a surprising second-half game script that included a 17-0 third-quarter advantage for Tampa Bay. However, the veteran running back had gotten Dallas started off on the right foot in the first quarter, when he capped off a nine-play opening drive with a one-yard touchdown run. Williams did a respectable job throughout the night grinding out yards against a tough Buccaneers run defense, but he's now averaged less than 3.8 yards per carry in four of the first five games, including two straight. Nevertheless, Williams does have six rushing touchdowns in the same span, and he should have a good chance at a heftier workload on the ground in a Week 6 road matchup against the Packers on Sunday, Oct. 18. |
