In the wake of Dak Prescott’s injury, Skip Bayless has stirred up conversation by suggesting that Cooper Rush might be Jerry Jones’ worst nightmare for the Dallas Cowboys. As Rush steps in as the starting quarterback, the dynamics within the team and Jones’ decisions could face intense scrutiny. With Prescott sidelined due to a partial hamstring avulsion, the Cowboys are turning to backup quarterback Rush to lead their playoff aspirations. His injury marks another setback for a player who previously missed time in 2022 with a broken thumb. The Cowboys currently sit at a challenging 3-5 record, making Rush’s performance…
The Dallas Cowboys are certainly going to play the long game with Dak Prescott’s hamstring injury. He just inked a massive contract extension that will keep him in Dallas for the foreseeable future. At 3-5, and without your starting quarterback for an undetermined amount of time, there may be conversations about how to properly handle the injury. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones on 1053thefan said they’re still not sure if they will put Dak Prescott (hamstring) on injured reserve. “He doesn’t want surgery. He wants to be on the field and go for it. We’ll just see how it goes here.”…
Gabriel Jesus has admitted his frustration at the limited game time he has been afforded by Mikel Arteta this season and has suggested other teammates feel the same. The striker has started just one Premier League match so far, playing just 39 minutes in the competition in the past month. He has featured for the entirety of both League Cup wins and began two Champions League ties but was benched for Wednesday’s visit to Inter Milan. He came during half-time at the San Siro but could not prevent Arsenal recording a second successive defeat. The Gunners have failed to score…
Arsenal will be determined to return to winning ways when they face Chelsea this weekend. Mikel Arteta will lock horns with Enzo Maresca at Stamford Bridge on Sunday afternoon, knowing a win could prove decisive in the Premier League title race. On Wednesday evening, the Gunners suffered defeat to Inter Milan in the Champions League, with only a penalty from Hakan Çalhanoğlu separating the two sides. Then, the following night, Chelsea stormed past Noah in the Conference League, scoring eight goals. The North Londoners’ extra day of rest could be game-changing, with Declan Rice in a race against time to…
Alexis Mac Allister admits there is no easy answer to the international break issue now once again facing Liverpool. Mac Allister is one of three Reds players who will jet off to South America after Saturday’s Premier League visit of Aston Villa for the latest round of World Cup qualifiers. Mac Allister is part of the Argentina squad that takes on Paraguay and Peru, while Darwin Nunez and Luis Diaz are expected to be involved for Uruguay and Colombia respectively over the next fortnight. This is the last international break until mid-March, with Liverpool having already taken steps to bring…
Former Liverpool boss Graeme Souness has suggested a leading British coach could do just a good a job at Anfield as Arne Slot. Slot has enjoyed the best start in club history for a new boss after the 4-0 home Champions League win over Bayer Leverkusen on Tuesday evening moved him on to 14 wins from his first 16 games in all competitions. With sole summer signing Federico Chiesa restricted to just 78 minutes, Slot has almost exclusively been working with the squad inherited from Jurgen Klopp that won the League Cup last season and finished third in the Premier…
Liverpool have made an approach to sign Real Madrid midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni, according to reports. Tchouameni is currently in his third season at Madrid following his move from Monaco in a €100 million (£85.3m) deal in June 2022. The 24-year-old has already played 104 games for Madrid and has helped the club win seven trophies, including La Liga and the Champions League last season. However, the France international has come under fire for his performances this season and was even whistled by Madrid supporters at the Santiago Bernabeu on Tuesday evening during the team’s 3-1 defeat to AC Milan in…
The Houston Texans weren’t a buyer at the NFL Trade Deadline despite having a 6-3 record and a two-game lead in the AFC South. However, Bleacher Report writer Brad Gagnon says that the Texans should have looked for a trade for Dallas Cowboys offensive lineman Zack Martin. “The aging and expensive Zack Martin may be nearing the end of his time days in Dallas if the team undergoes a reset soon,” Gagnon writes. “In-state neighbor Houston would have made a lot of sense as a landing spot for Martin. The Texans were already a mess along the offensive line even…
The Houston Texans are able to bring wide receiver Nico Collins back from injured reserve after he has sat the minimum four games for his hamstring injury. However, that doesn’t guarantee his return. ESPN insider Field Yates is deeming Collins a “long shot” to play for the Texans against the Detroit Lions for Sunday Night Football as he has yet to appear in practice or return to the 53-man roster with just one more day of preparation before the Week 10 matchup. The Texans would benefit from Collins returning, especially after Stefon Diggs was ruled out for the season after…
