For their matchup with the Detroit Lions in Week 6, the Dallas Cowboys will be playing at home.
They aim to maintain the winning momentum after winning their last two games.
With the exception of recent knee surgery victim Brandin Cooks, they have had a rather healthy offensive lineup. The Cowboys have struggled to find success on the defensive end of the ball.
Micah Parsons, DeMarcus Lawrence, Marshawn Kneeland, and DaRon Bland are already out of the picture. With the Cowboys’ next game coming up on Sunday, they will be without a defender once again.
Cowboys Update: LB Eric Kendricks Is Not a Candidate
Adam Schefter claims that LB Eric Kendricks will not play against the Lions in Week 6. Even worse, Nick Vigil, his backup, is doubtful due to a foot issue.
After joining the team over the offseason, Kendricks has improved the team’s performance on the field. The UCLA product leads the team in total tackles (52) after five games, with two sacks, two forced fumbles, two pass deflections, and two tackles for loss.
It will be felt primarily in the run game when he is not present. It is widely known that the Lions will pass the ball to David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs because the 32-year-old has recorded ten or more tackles in three straight games. Dallas faces a problem in the middle without a seasoned player like Detroit, which leads the NFL in rushing offense (151.3).
This implies that on Sunday, they will rely more on DeMarvion Overshown. The Cowboys have been severely hit by a number of injuries on the defensive end of the ball, even though they have only participated in five games.
