Zeke Elliott was a little more willing to talk about the NFL rushing title today, given that the Cowboys already locked up the division. But he has other, team goals on his mind 👀#cowboyswire pic.twitter.com/q1uFxRxQOX

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

When he was asked why he’d want to play on Sunday if he isn’t going to fall out of rhythm, he looked at us like we were crazy. “Because I love football.” #cowboyswire pic.twitter.com/Ce0aReBRzU

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

Anthony Brown, Tyrone Crawford, David Irving and Zack Martin did not participate in today’s practice.

Tavon Austin was a full participant 👀👀👀#cowboyswire pic.twitter.com/VRgHzl0Vrx

Garrett says David Irving and Tyrone Crawford not expected to practice today, but Crawford is doing better with the neck injury (tests results negative). Zack Martin will work on the side and likely Anthony Brown too, though perhaps limited practice. #cowboyswire

Jason Garrett reiterates: “Anybody who is healthy is going to play in this ballgame and play to the best of their ability.” #cowboyswire

For the second time this season, Cowboys kicker Brett Maher has been named NFC Special Teams Player of the Week. #cowboyswire

Jason Garrett’s answer about Xavier Woods’ roughing call was fairly diplomatic, but it still says a lot about his opinion that he was willing to go into detail at all.#cowboyswire pic.twitter.com/pBdeiMzgoF

With Goodwin returning from IR, the Cowboys can’t bring anyone else back. Which officially ends the season for Datone Jones, Travis Frederick & Terrance Williams. #cowboyswire

— David Helman (@HelmanDC) December 24, 2018

the team is hoping Lenoir can return to the practice squad if he clears waivers. they have an open practice squad spot after promoting Darius Jackson over the weekend #cowboyswire

— David Helman (@HelmanDC) December 24, 2018

Jason Garrett is hopeful the Cowboys can get Tavon Austin into this game against the Giants, but they’ll see how he handles the work load in practice this week #cowboyswire

— David Helman (@HelmanDC) December 24, 2018

Garrett says there doesn’t appear to be anything wrong with Anthony Brown’s back structurally, as he has been dealing with back spasms. But “backs are funny.” #cowboyswire

— David Helman (@HelmanDC) December 24, 2018

Jason Garrett specifically mentions Zack Martin, Tyrone Crawford and Anthony Brown as injury situations to monitor heading into this Week 17 game.

Garrett was really pleased with Martin’s play, and he seemed to come through the game OK. #cowboyswire

— David Helman (@HelmanDC) December 24, 2018

Jason Garrett says Tyrone Crawford is in good spirits and doing better. He came to the facility today after his scans and MRI were negative. Garrett classified him as day-to-day. #cowboyswire

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

- Seattle win = Cowboys v. Seahawks

- Seattle loss, Minnesota win = Cowboys v. Vikings

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

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

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

Bears hang on, which locks the Cowboys into the No. 4 seed in the NFC. #cowboyswire

When asked for his reaction to this game, Jerry Jones started talking about Randy Gregory almost immediately.

If you know anything about the journey Gregory and the Cowboys have been on since draft night in 2015, you know why. #cowboyswire pic.twitter.com/14hnnK9kbz

Update from the Cowboys on Tyrone Crawford's neck injury: "Tyrone Crawford was released from the hospital and is at home. All tests were negative, and he will be re-evaluated by team medical staff tomorrow." #cowboyswire

— Rob Phillips (@robphillips3) December 23, 2018

DeMarcus Lawrence said the refs told him that his arm went into the neutral zone when he was pointing and trying to draw the Buccaneers offside. That's why they flagged him. He didn't seem bothered by it. As he pointed out, the Cowboys got the stop anyway #cowboyswire

Jerry Jones describes his team’s climb from 3-5 to division champs.

From 3-5 to 9-6 and division champs, Dak says: “We knew it all along. You’re probably the only ones in this room that counted us out.” #cowboyswire

— David Helman (@HelmanDC) December 23, 2018

Jerry Jones doesn’t sound interested in resting starters at MetLife Stadium next week. “We’ve got some work to do.” #cowboyswire
