  • Cowboys WR KaVontae Turpin (foot) doesn’t expect to play in Week 6 and feels better about playing the following week against the Commanders. (Jon Machota)
  • Dallas DC Matt Eberflus revealed LB Kenneth Murray will move to full-time middle linebacker with Jack Sanborn in concussion protocol. (Ed Werder)

  • When asked about Dak Prescott‘s leadership, Jones called the quarterback “the best” he’s ever been around: โ€œHeโ€™s the best, frankly, that I think Iโ€™ve ever been around. I think heโ€™s the reason why we all have a chance to be optimistic about this season.โ€ (Machota)
  • Cowboys HC Brian Schottenheimer said OL Tyler Smith (knee) and Guyton are trending toward playing in Week 6: “They’re doing the right things to have an opportunity.” (Todd Archer)

Eagles

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley commented on the team’s offense being labeled as predictable.

โ€œLast year, do you think we were predictable? Everybody knew we were running the ball,โ€ Barkley said. โ€œWe still got it off. I also think we got to get back to the attitude, the mindset of, not really giving a fโ€”k what people are trying to do. Thatโ€™s something that Iโ€™m definitely looking for.โ€

Eagles

Eagles QB Jalen Hurts and RB Saquon Barkley said they met with WR A.J. Brown, which he disputed, saying he didn’t recall any meeting with his teammates.

โ€œI donโ€™t recall a meeting,โ€ Brown said. โ€œI donโ€™t know what youโ€™re talking about. Talk to them…I donโ€™t recall. I donโ€™t recall.โ€

โ€œWeโ€™re still trying to find our identity,โ€ Brown added. โ€œWeโ€™ve just got to come out here and do our job.โ€
