Dallas' Week 5 win over the Jets exposed the Cowboys’ depth while highlighting two key injuries. Jack Sanborn left with a concussion and was ruled out at halftime, with rookie Shemar James stepping in at linebacker. Donovan Wilson posted eight tackles before leaving late in the fourth, leaving his Week 6 status in question. Dallas had already shuffled the offensive line coming into the game, underscoring how quickly injuries can shift both sides of the ball.

For fantasy managers, James’ elevated snap count could mean more IDP upside in the near term, while Wilson’s health could widen safety usage and test the Cowboys’ defensive depth. Monitor updates as the Cowboys navigate a crowded schedule and a reshuffled lineup in upcoming games.

Dallas’ Sunday clash left fantasy managers chasing injury news. Malik Hooker exited with a toe issue and did not return; Miles Sanders left with an ankle injury and is listed questionable. Kenneth Murray left late in the fourth; Juanyeh Thomas stepped in at safety alongside Donovan Wilson. With Hooker out, Dallas leaned on depth in the secondary as Sanders’ status clouds the backfield and Murray’s availability looms. Stay tuned for updates, especially at safety and backfield as the Cowboys navigate week-to-week knocks.

Fantasy takeaway: Hooker’s absence tightens the backend, Sanders’ ankle keeps backfield projections in limbo, and Murray’s late exit could shift snaps to reserves. The Cowboys will likely lean on safe, quick-hitting plays and safety depth in coming weeks while awaiting clearer injury timelines.

Dallas hosts Green Bay as Kenny Clark takes Week 4 captain duties while Micah Parsons returns to AT&T Stadium in a Packers uniform and won’t receive a Cowboys tribute. Clark’s leadership and the trade that sent him to Dallas frame a tense game, with a postgame jersey swap looming for Rashan Gary. The Cowboys’ captain corps—Prescott, Lamb, Odighizuwa, Wilson, Aubrey, and Goodwin—anchors a narrative built on loyalty, emotion, and competitive urgency.

Clark, a nine-year Green Bay staple, plays out a high-stakes reunion against his old teammates after a blockbuster swap for Parsons and multiple picks. Parsons’ return adds a layered storyline for fantasy managers and bettors, while Kraft’s praise of Clark reinforces the Packers’ influence in the box. Expect a hard-nosed, emotionally charged Week 4.
