5 Cowboys are listed as questionable vs. the Rams: Cole Beasley, Maliek Collins, Blake Jarwin, Xavier Su'a-Filo and Darian Thompson. Beasley and Jarwin did not practice this week due to ankle injuries. David Irving (ankle) has been ruled out of Saturday's game. #cowboyswire

Cole Beasley and Blake Jarwin both once again missed practice on Thursday (which is really Friday). Looking like game time decisions on both of those guys #cowboyswire

— David Helman (@HelmanDC) January 10, 2019

Jason Garrett says Amari Cooper has opened up a lot more over the last few weeks. “Two sentences now. Not quite a paragraph.” 😂

— David Helman (@HelmanDC) January 10, 2019

If Cole Beasley and Blake Jarwin practice today they’ll be limited, per Jason Garrett. Both have ankle injuries. #cowboyswire

— Rob Phillips (@robphillips3) January 10, 2019

Wednesday's practice report very similar to Tuesday's, with two differences: Noah Brown and Maliek Collins returned to practice on a limited basis. #cowboyswire

— Rob Phillips (@robphillips3) January 9, 2019

I never would’ve guessed when I woke up this morning that the most interesting thing I’d hear today was Jaylon Smith talking about his HS job at Burger King.

FYI: he said his order is either crispy chicken or a Dluble Whopper with no tomatoes, extra pickles. #cowboyswire pic.twitter.com/iCDbZzYEE9

Cowboys are practicing outside again today, which is different. They typically go inside for Thursday/Friday practices.

Garrett wants to simulate the conditions at the L.A. Coliseum #cowboyswire

— David Helman (@HelmanDC) January 9, 2019

Dak Prescott (knee) was on the Tuesday injury report — stemming from his late run vs. Seattle — but he had a full practice and Jason Garrett says no concerns about his availability Saturday. #cowboyswire

— Rob Phillips (@robphillips3) January 9, 2019

Dak Prescott’s first NFL game was a nearly flawless preseason performance in the LA Coliseum two years ago.

Here’s what head coach Jason Garrett said about his QB today: #cowboyswire pic.twitter.com/uiJONiW7jA

— Rob Phillips (@robphillips3) January 9, 2019

The Rams have released their practice report. Todd Gurley is officially listed as limited, while Lamarcis Joyner was full.

L.A. only has three guys on their report. Guessing the bye week did them some good #cowboyswire

— David Helman (@HelmanDC) January 8, 2019

Turns out Su’a-Filo was able to practice on a limited basis today. An encouraging sign for the LG this week. #cowboyswire https://t.co/dQykvsNoSB

Zeke Elliott was asked about measuring himself against Todd Gurley in this matchup against the Rams. He said both he and Gurley have other priorities #cowboyswire pic.twitter.com/TldcX8uvcS

The injury report has grown since last week. Dak Prescott popped up with a knee injury, but he was a full participant in practice.

Noah Brown has an illness, while five different guys are listed with ankle injuries #cowboyswire pic.twitter.com/vfmVMdXG51

— David Helman (@HelmanDC) January 8, 2019

Doesn’t sound like Xavier Su’a-Filo, Cole Beasley or Blake Jarwin is going to practice today, but Jason Garrett says all three are feeling better.

Tavon Austin is expected to be limited today #cowboyswire

Easy to forget with all that’s happened that Dak Prescott made his NFL debut against the Rams. He was auditioning for the Cowboys’ backup role after Kellen Moore broke his leg in training camp.

Oh, and Jon Gruden called the game 😂 #cowboyswire pic.twitter.com/TAQvU2iAo7

— David Helman (@HelmanDC) January 7, 2019

Jason Garrett said he communicated with Allen Hurns via text today after the WR had successful surgery on his ankle/leg injury. In good spirits; expectation is he’ll make a full recovery. #cowboyswire

— Rob Phillips (@robphillips3) January 7, 2019

With the injuries the Cowboys are currently facing at WR (Beasley, Hurns), Jason Garrett says its a “very viable option” that the team might call Lance Lenoir up from the practice squad #cowboyswire

— David Helman (@HelmanDC) January 7, 2019

Jason Garrett says he’s optimistic Xavier Su’a-Filo will be available for this game. He’s also optimistic about Blake Jarwin, who tweaked his ankle toward the end of Saturday’s game.

Maliek Collins also hurt his ankle, but Garrett again says he’s optimistic #cowboyswire

— David Helman (@HelmanDC) January 7, 2019

Jason Garrett says Kris Richard had two coaching interviews today.

“He’s probably finishing one up right now, and then he’ll be back to work. We’ve got to get ready for a ball game.” #cowboyswire

— David Helman (@HelmanDC) January 7, 2019

Jason Garrett says Cole Beasley fought through an ankle sprain last night. He seemed a little bit better today, but they’ll see how he improves as the week goes on #cowboyswire

— David Helman (@HelmanDC) January 7, 2019

Jason Garrett says the Cowboys’ coaching staff watched some tape of the Rams earlier today, and they were watching the end of the Bears-Eagles game so they knew exactly who they’d need to get to work on. #cowboyswire

— David Helman (@HelmanDC) January 7, 2019

Got to check in w @A1hurns today. He says he hasn’t had time to see your outpouring of love yet, but he’s thankful. Surgery went fine, he was supposed to be at hospital til Sunday but they let him go a day early. And y’all already know, Mama was by his side. ❤️ #CowboysWire

Fun fact: the Saints are the only team in the NFC the Cowboys have not played in the playoffs. #cowboyswire

Dak was only sacked once in this game, after taking five sacks in Seattle in September. The Cowboys also ran for 164, averaging 4.8 yards per pop.

As Jerry Jones pointed out tonight, an Eagles win in Chicago is the only scenario that'd allow the Cowboys to host the NFC Championship Game, assuming they get that far #cowboyswire

— David Helman (@HelmanDC) January 6, 2019

With this game out of the way, tomorrow's going to feature three head coaching interviews for Kris Richard. The Jets, Bucs and Dolphins are all in town to meet with him.

Richard: "It's going to be a long day, but one I'm looking forward to." #cowboyswire

— David Helman (@HelmanDC) January 6, 2019

I would 100% extend Zeke this offseason.

1. He deserves it
2. It’d allow you to get him under contract for the rest of his prime. #cowboyswire https://t.co/n3vt1qYTpF

— David Helman (@HelmanDC) January 5, 2019

Xavier Su’a-Filo officially considered doubtful for Saturday. It’s a good bet Connor Williams starts in his place. Tavon Austin is another name to watch.

All of the Seahawks’ big injury concerns practiced today #cowboyswire pic.twitter.com/kQzpqZbIWu

DeMarcus Lawrence on approaching Saturday's game with the 2018 season on the line: "I live for this, so I don't want it to be over. That's what it's all about, living in the moment and taking advantage of your opportunities." #cowboyswire

— Rob Phillips (@robphillips3) January 3, 2019

DeMarcus Lawrence was asked about how Charles Haley helps the Cowboys’ pass rushers when he attends practice. That in turn led to the topic of how important it is to play with an edge.

Of course, DeMarcus phrased it as only he could 😂 #cowboyswire pic.twitter.com/ztAuhYTJK9

— David Helman (@HelmanDC) January 3, 2019

For the third day in a row, Xavier Su’a-Filo was not at practice. Jason Garrett also said this morning that he hasn’t been going through walkthrough this week.

Still two days until the game, but it’s certainly trending toward Connor Williams starting at LG. #cowboyswire

— David Helman (@HelmanDC) January 3, 2019

If G Xavier Su’a-Filo practices today, he’ll be limited, Jason Garrett said. Has not practiced so far this week due to a sprained ankle. #cowboyswire

— Rob Phillips (@robphillips3) January 2, 2019

Jason Garrett doesn’t expect Xavier Su’a-Filo to practice today. That’d be his second missed practice this week.

Something to watch as the game approaches. Connor Williams would return to the LG spot if Su’a-Filo can’t go. #cowboyswire

— David Helman (@HelmanDC) January 2, 2019

Jason Garrett says David Irving isn’t going to practice tomorrow, but he expects that every other member of his roster will do at least something.

Tyrone Crawford is expected to be “at least limited.” Remarkable health for a Jan. 1 practice #cowboyswire

Amari Cooper isn’t buying the idea that you can fall out of rhythm by taking one week off.

Progress for Tavon Austin. He went through a full practice for the first time since injuring his groin in the 10/14 Jaguars game. Had been a limited participant the last two weeks of practice. #cowboyswire

— Rob Phillips (@robphillips3) December 26, 2018

I’m annoyed by the way I phrased those tweets, so I’m going to say it better:

- Seattle loss, Minnesota win = Cowboys v. Vikings

- Seattle loss, Minnesota loss = Cowboys v. Seahawks#cowboyswire

— David Helman (@HelmanDC) December 24, 2018

another thing I didn’t think about: clinching the division solidifies the Cowboys’ opponents for 2019.

The NFC East is slated to play the NFC North and the AFC East, and as division champs the Cowboys will play the Saints and the Rams. #cowboyswire

— David Helman (@HelmanDC) December 24, 2018

Didn’t think about it until right now, but Todd Gurley sitting out this week likely locks up the NFL rushing crown for Ezekiel Elliott.

Even if Gurley plays next week and Zeke doesn’t, he’d need 184 yards against San Francisco to take the top spot. #cowboyswire

— David Helman (@HelmanDC) December 24, 2018

This is what we mean when we talk about Zeke setting the tone.

No one’s got a better case to take a seat next week than Zeke. And honestly, I’d be shocked if he plays the whole game. But this was his response when asked about taking off in Week 17 #cowboyswire pic.twitter.com/TSyAfds1Cq

Zack Martin not expected to practice today, per Garrett. #cowboyswire

— Rob Phillips (@robphillips3) December 12, 2018

Cowboys expect that Sean Lee and Tavon Austin will have at least a limited role in practice today, as they begin their prep for the Colts. David Irving is not expected to practice #cowboyswire

— David Helman (@HelmanDC) December 12, 2018

a long quote but a good quote from Jerry Jones this morning on @1053thefan, talking about how the Cowboys can keep their edge despite a five-game winning streak #cowboyswire pic.twitter.com/gwnIzELZWR

— David Helman (@HelmanDC) December 11, 2018

Jerry Jones tells the guys on @1053thefan that Sean Lee, Tavon Austin and David Irving “all have a probability of playing” in Indy. Cowboys will see if/how they practice this week #cowboyswire

— David Helman (@HelmanDC) December 11, 2018

Garrett anticipates that Sean Lee and Tavon Austin will be limited participants in practice starting on Wednesday. “Possibly the same thing” for David Irving, as well #cowboyswire

— David Helman (@HelmanDC) December 10, 2018

Garrett says it doesn’t appear that Zeke has any lingering effects from the neck injury he suffered last night. #cowboyswire

Jason Garrett, on Taco being a healthy scratch: “We want to make it competitive. We want guys to earn their opportunity.” #cowboyswire

— David Helman (@HelmanDC) December 10, 2018

Jason Garrett says they’ll take Zack Martin’s injury day by day. It’s the same knee and the same injury he’s been dealing with. Garrett says Martin will undoubtedly do what he can to get ready to play as soon as possible. We’ll see what that means as the week goes #cowboyswire

— David Helman (@HelmanDC) December 10, 2018

Amari Cooper, since joining the Cowboys: 40 catches, 642 yards, 6 TDs, under contract for 19 more games.

Golden Tate, since joining the Eagles: 19 catches, 189 yards, 1 TD, under contract for 3 more games. #cowboyswire

— David Helman (@HelmanDC) December 10, 2018

This stat got lost in the offensive frenzy in the 4th and OT: Eagles TE Zach Ertz had only 5 catches for 38 yards, 0 TDs. Went off for 14 catches, 145 yards and 2 TDs in the first meeting. #cowboyswire

— Rob Phillips (@robphillips3) December 10, 2018

Dak Prescott's line in the 4th quarter and OT vs. Philly:
17 of 20, 243 yards, 3 TDs, 0 turnovers. #cowboyswire

— Rob Phillips (@robphillips3) December 10, 2018

Speaking of which. For a guy who has never missed an NFL game to leave multiple games with a knee injury, it probably speaks to the kind of pain Zack Martin has been dealing with for the last couple months.

It’s not lost on his coach. #cowboyswire pic.twitter.com/pe54Xgg003

— David Helman (@HelmanDC) December 10, 2018

Favorite quote from today was probably Dak talking about his resiliency during the course of the game. And if you don’t think it counts for a ton with his coaches and teammates, you haven’t been paying attention these last three seasons #cowboyswire pic.twitter.com/NVTY3dqv5x

— David Helman (@HelmanDC) December 10, 2018

Cowboys own the tiebreaker with Philly by virtue of a head-to-head sweep, and they own the tiebreaker with Wash. by virtue of division record.

so they would have to lose out AND have one of those teams win out to miss the playoffs.

— David Helman (@HelmanDC) December 10, 2018

Jason Garrett, who is not often a very good, had this to say about Dak tonight:

“You talk about mental toughness, that guy we’ve got playing quarterback for us, he’s a tough sonofabitch now. You saw that today.” #cowboyswire

— David Helman (@HelmanDC) December 10, 2018

Dak, on Cooper: “I’ve seen this guy play for a long time. Playing against him in college, I knew how great he was. I was almost astonished we were able to get that trade.” #cowboyswire

— David Helman (@HelmanDC) December 10, 2018

Dak wrapped up his postgane presser with a question about going to Lucas Oil Stadium to face the Indianapolis Colts with a chance to clinch the division #cowboyswire pic.twitter.com/2mcT0nWmdf

As Dak Prescott ended his postgame presser, he was asked about the Grugier-Hill comments once again. He followed himself up from Thursday: “Who?” #cowboyswire

— David Helman (@HelmanDC) December 10, 2018

In his six appearances with the Cowboys, Amari Cooler is *averaging* 7 catches for 107 yards and a touchdown #cowboyswire

Jason Garrett on Dak’s performance today: “That quarterback we have is a tough son of a bitch!” #Cowboyswire

— Nick Eatman (@nickeatman) December 10, 2018

Jerry Jones says he doesn’t think there’s any additional damage to Zack Martin’s knee. Same injury he’s been fighting through for much of the season #cowboyswire

— David Helman (@HelmanDC) December 10, 2018

Go ahead and tell Dak that he’s terrible and he sucks and all that . As soon as that becomes the narrative, he always says “watch this” .. he’s not Aikman or Romo, he’s just Dak. #cowboyswire

Your Dallas Cowboys are officially in the driver’s seat in the NFC East. Five straight wins and a two-game lead with three to play #cowboyswire

— Rob Phillips (@robphillips3) December 10, 2018

I will say: given the resources available to NFL players, getting over an illness in 48 hours is fairly manageable. Chido missed Wednesday's practiced with an illness but was a full participant for Thursday and Friday #cowboyswire

— David Helman (@HelmanDC) December 7, 2018

Two Eagles starters, MLB Jordan Hicks and CB Jalen Mills, have also been ruled out of the game #cowboyswire

Jason Garrett said Tyron Smith had a good day of practice Thursday. Team’s final practice of the week this morning. #cowboyswire

— Rob Phillips (@robphillips3) December 7, 2018

I don’t think Tavon Austin, Sean Lee, David Irving or Geoff Swaim is going to play this weekend. The rest of the Cowboys’ injury concerns are trending in the right direction for Sunday.

Whole lot of DNP’s for the Eagles (although, remember, they just played Monday) #cowboyswire pic.twitter.com/LBkpBbM6bX

— David Helman (@HelmanDC) December 6, 2018

Today's injury report looks about the same as Wednesday's, with two updates: Cole Beasley (foot) and Chidobe Awuzie (illness) were back to full participation today. Tyron Smith (neck) had limited participation again. Sean Lee (hamstring) did not practice again. #cowboyswire

Dak Prescott, asked about the quotes coming out of Philly this week: “You know, Coach Garrett has a great saying. I don’t know where he got it from, but winners worry about winning and losers worry about winners. We’re focused on ourselves in this locker room.” #cowboyswire

— David Helman (@HelmanDC) December 6, 2018

Rod Marinelli, asked if he plans to howl at any point this season: “I’ve been working on it. You may hear it.” 😂#cowboyswire

— David Helman (@HelmanDC) December 6, 2018

Wednesday, Zack Martin went through his full practice in nearly a month, a good sign as he continues to work through that sprained knee. Hasn't missed a start. "His level of toughness and his desire to be out there is really second to none," Jason Garrett said. #cowboyswire

— Rob Phillips (@robphillips3) December 6, 2018

Jason Garrett says Sean Lee intends to work out with the athletic training staff today, but probably not much in the way of practice #cowboyswire

— David Helman (@HelmanDC) December 6, 2018

Jason Garrett expects that Tyron Smith will ramp up his activity in practice today. He was a limited participant on Wednesday #cowboyswire

Zeke Elliott said today that he was surprised by the NFL’s decision to fine him for his latest fun with The Salvation Army red kettle during the win against Washington.

Zeke doesn’t sound like he’s sweating it #cowboyswire pic.twitter.com/E5Y3q81AGD

— David Helman (@HelmanDC) December 5, 2018

Ezekiel Elliott had a heavy workload in the past three games over 11 days. "It definitely was refreshing getting that (last) weekend off. It definitely helped getting my feet back under me. It's the best I've felt on a Wednesday in a while." #cowboyswire

— Rob Phillips (@robphillips3) December 5, 2018

Jason Garrett on the team's approach: "We’re just focused on what we need to do. Our backs are to the wall. They’re always to the wall and that’s how we look at it." #cowboyswire

Jason Garrett says that Tyron Smith will be limited if he practices today. Cole Beasley is expected to practice.

In holding the Saints to 10 points, the Dallas defense improved its scoring average to 18.6 points per game.

Only four of 12 opponents have scored more than 20 points against them. #cowboyswire

— David Helman (@HelmanDC) November 30, 2018

The Cowboys are hopeful Sean Lee can return to practice after this long weekend off. Jerry Jones said he is “almost giddy” at the thought of having Lee, LVE & Jaylon Smith all available for this home stretch #cowboyswire pic.twitter.com/UoWGULAMTA

At the rate they moved the ball against Dallas tonight, it would have taken the Saints’ offense 2.3 games to reach their average output of 417 yards/per game #cowboyswire

With four games to play, DeMarcus Lawrence’s tally:

35 tackles, 9.5 sacks, 10 TFL, 2 FF, 1 FR, 1 INT. #cowboyswire

Zeke’s current touch count during this four-game win streak: 115.

91 carries and 24 receptions, an average of 29 touches per game.

Safe to say he’s earned a long weekend off #cowboyswire

An elated Jerry Jones post-game: "This bunch, this team, won't be the same again. You win something like this against a team that well-coached, those kind of players, caliber of team like that, you know you've done it ... you've changed. This is a changer in here. #cowboyswire

Cowboys' Tuesday practice report looks the same as Monday's, with one update: WR Allen Hurns (thumb) was upgraded to full participation Tues. Tyron Smith (neck) did not practice again. #cowboyswire

— Rob Phillips (@robphillips3) November 27, 2018

Tyron Smith, Tavon Austin, Sean Lee, David Irving & Geoff Swaim all missed practice today.

Smith is definitely in the category of players who don’t need to practice to play, but it’s still concerning that he hasn’t had a practice rep this week. #cowboyswire
