Third-year running back Christine Michael could be close to making his debut with the Cowboys.
The Dallas Cowboys lost their first start with Brandon Weeden at quarterback, but they are now hoping that Weeden will improve his game. If not, they have Matt Cassel waiting in the wings and Terrance Williams ready to step up his game to help them out.
Brandon Weeden's inability to beat Atlanta downfield was partly because of poor running plays on earlier downs.
Jones didn't hold anything back relating to his comments he made to 105.3 The Fan last week regarding Brandon Weeden's passing ability.
The Dallas Cowboys will struggle for the next two months without their quarterback, but this week they face a New Orleans Saints team that also was without their signal caller.
After Weeden couldn't answer an Atlanta rally with any success down the field in a 39-28 loss Sunday, the natural question was whether the Cowboys trusted their backup enough with Tony Romo sidelined.
The Dallas Cowboys entered their third game of the season without their starting quarterback and starting wide receiver. While they competed for one half, the undefeated Atlanta Falcons wore them down by the end. Here is a look at the Cowboys grades for their week three loss.
Devonta Freeman filled in just fine as Atlanta's lead running back. It remains to be seen how Brandon Weeden can hold up as the sub for Tony Romo in Dallas.
The Falcons beat the Cowboys on Sunday, 39-28, but there's another way to look at it.
The Cowboys took an early lead under QB Brandon Weeden but couldn't hold on in the second half as Atlanta came back to win 39-28.
The Dallas Cowboys are off to a 2-0 start but each of their wins have come with a heavy price.
Tony Romo has joined Dez Bryant on the injured list and both players are out for at least two months. With Jason Witten also injured and three defensive linemen suffering injuries that knock them out this week, the Dallas Cowboys limp into a game with fellow unbeaten Atlanta Falcons.
Will Romo be crisp when he returns? Will Dez be sharp and as capable when he comes back? Will the team even be in the hunt still? Will the defense be exhausted/exposed?
Former Dallas Cowboys defensive tackle Josh Brent is back with the organization, now working in the team's scouting department at Valley Ranch.
