As we approach the NFL trade deadline, all eyes are on dallas cowboys and owner Jerry Jones as the season seems to go by quickly. If any team should look to make moves today it should be Dallas, as their season gets closer to ending.

Add injuries to the situation with Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb being the latest casualties and it’s almost time to throw in the towel on the Cowboys’ 2024 campaign. The next three games on the schedule are against teams that are at least three games above .500. Dallas could be out of the race before we even get to December. That is why it is essential to avoid the trade deadline this year.

That’s right, Dak Prescott is going to miss.”multiple” weeks due to the hamstring injury suffered against the Falcons on Sunday. Hamstring injuries are unpredictable as it could be anywhere from 2 to full blank number of weeks before you are healthy. It’s that type of injury that’s hard to know right away, similar to the sprained ankle Micah Parsons is currently suffering from. Parsons was hurt in Week 4 and has yet to return.

Depending on the severity of the injury, Prescott could miss the month of November or longer. That injury takes time to heal even with all the treatments and medical technology available to NFL players. With Prescott out, the Cowboys now turn to Cooper Rush to replace Trey Lance in the QB2 role. Keep an eye on that because if the Cowboys continue to struggle offensively with Rush, people will start calling for Lance to get a chance on the field.

Jerry Jones continues to state that he is “going all in” and staying active when it comes to acquiring players. It always sounds good, but Cowboys fans know it’s usually just words. For most of the season, Jones has been adamant about being happy with the talent on the roster and being able to compete as is. Now 3-5, the season is in danger of slipping away from Jones’ Cowboys, especially with all the injuries at key positions.

“We’ll probably do a couple things this week… I’m far from dismayed by this team this year,” he said in Jerry Jones on Dallas’ involvement at the trade deadline

Dallas is in the midst of a three-game losing streak, its first since 2020. That was the most games Dak has missed (11) in the NFL, after breaking his leg in Week 5 against New York. Giants. While Rush has been an adequate backup for Prescott over the years, Jones will need to make some moves if he wants to save his Cowboys from finishing in the top five of next spring’s NFL draft. That is the path they follow with Philadelphia, Houston and Washington in the next three weeks.

This one is mostly rumors and gossip, but it’s interesting nonetheless. Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb’s name has been mentioned in connection with the Cowboys. Not that the Browns want to move on, but Dallas’ running game is so bad that you’re likely to hear someone’s name called in the next few hours. Talks about Chubb with Dallas apparently emerged over the weekend, although it’s highly unlikely to happen.

“If I see something… we look for all the meat on the bones that can improve our team.” jones said.

Daydreaming about Chubb in the Cowboys backfield may sound good, but we have to remember that he only returned to the field three weeks ago, so he’s still working on getting back into football shape. Sure, Cleveland is 2-6 and is probably done for the year, but Chubb is also in the final year of his contract. So for the Cowboys to give up draft capital to acquire Chubb sounds crazy. One thing we know for sure is how much Jones covets his draft picks.
