A few days after the Dallas Cowboys‘ road victory against the Steelers in Week 5 of the NFL season, team owner Jerry Jones is already looking ahead to the next matchup. Dak Prescott and head coach Mike McCarthy are at the forefront of the team’s strategy.
Following the thrilling fourth-quarter win over the Steelers, McCarthy is preparing the Cowboys for their Week 6 clash against the Lions. Prescott, who has been a key player this season, is set to lead the charge once again.
When asked about the possibility of utilizing a player like Dalvin Cook in the lineup, Jones responded: “It’s a long season. Judiciously managing snaps for veteran players is a big part of the whole show.”
Cook, a veteran running back, could be a valuable asset moving forward and is one of the options McCarthy may consider for the upcoming game in the NFL.
