Asim Richards filled in for the first-rounder on Sunday and played well at left tackle.
Report: Cowboys LB gets encouraging update on Sunday’s knee injury :: Cowboys Wire
The linebacker’s play was one of the rare bright spots in Sunday’s loss, but a knee injury that took him out for a chunk of the game caused concern.

While painful and possibly limiting in terms of movement, it is not believed to be a serious injury. “Treatment and rehab” will be the course of action this week.
Parsons makes waves with remarks interpreted as shot at McCarthy’s Cowboys future :: Cowboys Wire
Asked about the locker room’s feelings on Mike McCarthy and whether he’ll be back next season, Parsons touched off a firestorm, even if it was accidental. “Mike can leave and go wherever he wants,” Parsons said, “but guys I kind of feel bad for is guys like Zack Martin and guys who might be on their last year, on their way out, because that’s who I want to go hold the trophy for. You want to win games and do great things with those type of legends who put in more time and work than Mike McCarthy ever did.” Debate raged Monday over whether the edge rusher’s comments were an inexcusable disrespect of his head coach or just a poorly-worded show of support for the veteran players for whom the window is closing.
McCarthy, Micah clear the air on viral comments after Cowboys’ sixth loss :: The Mothership
McCarthy said he and Parsons sat down Monday, “and we handled those things as men should handle it,” he explained. The coach believes that it was not his edge rusher’s intent to offend him with comments about his job status or the time he puts in doing it. “We’ve got to keep it about football, bear down on the things we know we need to improve on, build off of some of the things we didn’t.”

CeeDee Lamb wants Cowboys to block sunlight with curtains after drop :: ESPN
Lamb should have had a second-quarter touchdown grab, and he knows exactly where to lay the blame for coming up empty. He was seen motioning to teammates that the sun had been in his eyes.

Cowboys’ Ezekiel Elliott explains what he saw on ‘disgusting’ red-zone fumble vs. Eagles :: Dallas Morning News
Elliott’s return after a one-game benching netted him 22 yards on six carries… and one major miscue. “I think the guy just got his helmet on the ball,” he explained of his goal-line turnover. “I got to go two hands or just can’t, that’s [an] unacceptable fumble in the red zone. It’s disgusting.” Elliott says the support he’s gotten from teammates after being made inactive in Week 9 has meant a great deal.

Sorry, Dak. Dallas Cowboys must now consider drafting a quarterback in the first round (Opinion) :: Fort Worth Star-Telegram
The Cowboys’ $60 million man is on the wrong side of 30 and now has to be considered “injury-prone.” That’s already not a formula for long-term success, but Cooper Rush and Trey Lance showed Sunday that there is no sufficient safety net at the position. Given the way the season is progressing and the high draft pick that seems to be coming, the organization needs to borrow a page from the Falcons and grab an elite propect as their QB of the future… even while the current guy is still here.
