Amari Cooper Dealing With a Plantar Fascia Issue

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper has been dealing with a plantar fascia problem. Cooper was reported with a heel problem, but it looks like it was the plantar fascia irritation all along.

Dallas Goedert to Miss Time With a Calf Injury

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert injured his calf and is considered week-to-week.

Devin Smith Leads the Cowboys in Receiving on Saturday

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Devin Smith led the team in receiving yards on Saturday, catching three passes for 54 yards.

Mike Weber Gets Six Carries on Saturday Night

Dallas Cowboys rookie running back Mike Weber led the Cowboys backfield in carries on Saturday with six. He gained 18 yards and "added" two catches for a loss of five yards.

Cooper Rush Looks Solid on Saturday

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Cooper Rush played most of Saturday's first preseason game and looked solid enough in the process. He completed 16-of-26 passes for 142 scoreless yards.

Dak Prescott Completes All Four of His Passes on Saturday

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott completed all four of his pass attempts on Saturday night, gaining 23 yards. Prescott wasn't in there for long, but 4-for-4 is certainly an encouraging first start.
