It seemed to be just a faint glimmer of hope on Friday, but now even that has been extinguished. Offensive tackle La’el Collins got the final word on the pending appeal of his five-game suspension on Tuesday; he’ll be sitting Sunday out. Jerry Jones was asked to weigh in on Jon Gruden’s exit in Las Vegas; the Cowboys owner talked about “accountability” in general terms, but chose not to go past that. And Jabril Cox is catching some heat for a social media post he made after Sunday’s game in which the linebacker celebrated knocking out Giants passer Daniel Jones.
Elsewhere, we’re examining the unglamorous reason why the Cowboys offense is unstoppable right now, Anthony Brown is changing minds about his football future in Dallas, and there could be a change coming at the center position. Also, what we learned about the Cowboys in Week 5, how high they climbed in the rankings after the big win, where Mike McCarthy stands in relation to Bill Belichick in a key category, and which European city the NFL may be staging games in next. That’s all on tap in the News and Notes.
