The Houston Texans opted not to make any trades during the NFL Trade Deadline despite their promising 6-3 record, with analysts suggesting they should have pursued Dallas Cowboys lineman Zack Martin to bolster their struggling offensive line. Meanwhile, the Dallas Cowboys face significant challenges, as quarterback Dak Prescott is likely to miss several weeks due to a partial hamstring injury, which has raised concerns about the team's inconsistent performance this season. Backup quarterback Cooper Rush will take the reins, as the Cowboys have not added another quarterback despite Prescott's injury. Additionally, the Cowboys made roster changes by acquiring wide receiver Jonathan Mingo from the Carolina Panthers, though fans are frustrated over the cost of the trade and the player’s lack of experience. The team also released defensive tackle Jordan Phillips and cornerback Andrew Booth Jr., highlighting some questionable decisions by the front office this season. Amidst these developments, the New Orleans Saints traded cornerback Marshon Lattimore to the Washington Commanders, indicating a busy trade period across the league.
