The Dallas Cowboys traveled to face the New York Jets last week without wide receiver KaVontae Turpin as a part of the operation. They were successful in getting the win, but it looks like they will have to work that way again this week against the Carolina Panthers.
Turpin told members of the local media on Wednesday that he will probably not be playing this week at Carolina and that he is targeting a return in Week 7 at home against the Washington Commanders.
No one is assuming any game is a win, but obviously the Commanders are a more intimidating team than the Panthers. Speaking with respect for Carolina, Dallas should feel comfortable giving Turpin another week to prepare for a tougher part of the schedule that is on the way.
Time will tell whether or not Turpin plays next week. But he feels that is the most likely outcome himself and that matters for a lot.
