After a disappointing yet encouraging loss to the Philadelphia Eagles last Thursday, the Dallas Cowboys are set to play the New York Giants. Dallas has beaten their division rivals in their last eight meetings. With New York losing to the Washington Commanders last week, both teams are looking to avoid beginning their season 0-2.
Here’s what we know about who else will be on the field this weekend.
The Cowboys open the week of practice with a light injury report. Having played last Thursday, the Cowboys have had a few extra days of rest. The big news for Dallas is the absence of DaRon Bland with a foot problem that has him in a boot. Safety Malik Hooker was limited.
