Cowboys Face Challenges with Injuries and Performance

The Dallas Cowboys, struggling with a 3-6 record and missing star quarterback Dak Prescott due to injury, face further challenges with wide receiver CeeDee Lamb's recent back injury. Despite the injury, Lamb is expected to play, although his recent performance, analyzed critically by Peyton Manning, has been under scrutiny. Head coach Mike McCarthy downplayed the injury's severity, highlighting Lamb's importance to the team's prospects. The Cowboys have slim playoff chances, currently at 3%, which could improve slightly with a win against the Houston Texans. Other injuries affecting the team include tackle Chuma Edoga and right guard Zack Martin. The team's performance in the upcoming game is crucial for maintaining any playoff hopes.
