Cowboys Headlines: Confidence in Cooper, former QB3 back on market, Noah Brown makes Hall of Fame

Fans tuning in for Week 10's Cowboys-Eagles clash may need a program just to tell who's who. Besides the Cowboys' replacement quarterback, there's also a concerning development on one of his mainstay offensive linemen, and several defensive standouts who have been missing in action are looking good to make a return. CeeDee Lamb isn't going anywhere, though; he's got a reassuring message following his shoulder injury in Atlanta.

Meanwhile, Cooper Rush is earning rave reviews- not only from his Dallas teammates, but from a very unlikely source in green. We'll preview the divisional matchup with a look at the Eagles' top five offensive threats, we'll get to know new wide receiver Jonathan Mingo, and we'll remember a familiar name who's just been let go by Philadelphia (and we wonder if there's a place for him back at The Star). Speaking of former Cowboys, one unlikely ex has made it all the way to the Hall of Fame, one has made it back to the practice squad, and one is coming back to Texas soon... but with a little less buzz than before.

Thursday practice report encouraging for defensive standouts :: The Mothership

Micah Parsons, Trevon Diggs, and Eric Kendricks were all limited on Thursday, but are nevertheless trending in the right direction to play against the Eagles on Sunday. DaRon Bland remains a DNP, as does Juanyeh Thomas, Nick Vigil, and Dak Prescott.

Lamb hasn't missed practice this week after injuring his shoulder versus Atlanta. "I'm good," he reported. "I was out there running today, getting right.'' The receiver says his range of motion is unhindered by the AC sprain, explaining it's just a matter of playing through the pain. He says he won't be wearing any sort of sling or brace in Week 10.

Cowboys 53-man roster for Eagles in Week 10: New WR gets jersey number, IR changes :: Cowboys Wire

DeMarcus Lawrence and Brandin Cooks will be eligible to have their practice windows open this week, though that depends on their respective rehabs. Dak Prescott is still not on IR as he explores second opinions on his hamstring. Newly-acquired wide receiver Jonathan Mingo will wear the No. 81 jersey made famous by Terrell Owens and recently vacated by injured tight end John Stephens Jr.

Jonathan Mingo ready to prove himself in 'fresh start' :: The Mothership

Tuesday's trade came as a surprise to the ex-Panther. But now Mingo says he's viewing his move to Dallas as an opportunity to "prove to people what I can do and show them the best version of me." At 6-foot-2 and 220 pounds, he plans to use his size to his advantage, knowing that the Cowboys like to move their receivers around to find mismatches. He'll suit up right away this Sunday. "Just try and get my flow," he says, "and once I get in my groove, I can finally show people what I can do."

Cowboys: Confidence is still there with QB Cooper Rush :: ESPN

Rush famously went 4-1 the last time he was pressed into extended service filling in for an injured Prescott. In 2022, he kept the team afloat. This time around, he's trying to turn around a season heading off the rails. But he's a known commodity to his teammates, who know he has the knowledge and the skills to step in and succeed. "He won games for us by just doing the basics, just playing good football," offered Micah Parsons. "So it's not like he can't do it."

Philadelphia defensive coordinator Vic Fangio isn't backing off his prep, even with a backup passer piloting the Cowboys. "You know, Rush has been there a long time. He knows the offense as well as anybody there does and he'll operate it efficiently," he said. Some wondered if he was taking a veiled shot at Prescott, though, when he also said of the understudy's takeover, "I don't think it will change a whole lot."

Hurts isn't among Eagles' 5 top-graded offensive players, thanks to Kellen Moore :: Cowboys Wire

Saquon Barkley has rejuvenated his career in Philadelphia, and a pair of Eagles wide receivers are also in the offense's top five, per PFF. But their quarterback has seen his numbers slip, as he's no longer asked to be the centerpiece of the attack. Offensive lineman Lane Johnson and Jordan Mailata round out the group.

Eagles release quarterback Will Grier from practice squad :: ProFootballTalk

The onetime third-string option in Dallas has been released by the Eagles just ahead of the two teams' meeting. The 29-year-old has also been with the Panthers, Bengals, Patriots, and Chargers. Grier could be an option for the Cowboys to re-add to their practice squad, given his familiarity with the offense. If they act quickly enough, the Cowboys could also get some last-minute insider help with their preparation to play Philadelphia on Sunday.

Former Cowboys receiver Noah Brown has made it to Canton. The gloves he wore while catching the game-winning pass from the Commanders' Oct. 27 win over Chicago are now on display at the Hall of Fame. An end zone pylon signed by Brown and QB Jayden Daniels is also there, along with the ball itself. Brown's catch became only the seventh time in league history a game-winning pass covering at least 50 yards was completed with no time left on the clock.
