Happy New year to all. The start of a new year also coincides with a week of practice for the season finale for the Dallas Cowboys taking on the New York Giants. Here’s our first injury report of 2026.

Malik Davis (calf/eye) was a DNP today, as was Javonte Williams (shoulder/neck). Rookie cornerback Shavon Revel (concussion/neck) was still absent from practice and labeled as a DNP for a second consecutive day. T.J. Bass (knee) also missed practice again.

DeMarvion Overshown (concussion) was again limited today. Tyler Smith (knee) was upgraded to full participation today. Tyler Booker (ankle), Ryan Flournoy (knee),...

Each week we dive into each team’s rookie class and compare how they stack up against each other. (Grades for each player are the overall offensive or defensive grade handed out by PFF.com)

Dallas Cowboys

Tyler Booker (OG)

First Round

Booker’s rookie year is still tracking as a big win for Dallas and looking like they struck gold yet again with a first-round offensive lineman. Across 948 snaps and 694 pass-blocking reps, he’s been charged with only 23 pressures, six QB hits and one sack, that’s very clean for a first-year right guard. His overall PFF grade sits...

The last time we saw these two teams play, it was in week two and, boy was it a thriller to start the season. That now seems like a long gone memory as both of these teams are ready for the 2026 offseason.

With so many games this week, most are not even worth watching and that includes this one, even though it has been said that Dak Prescott will start, which is probably not the best idea.

Nonetheless, if you are still looking for where to catch the game and if you like to place bets, all that information...

The Dallas Cowboys have not yet made any decisions – at least not publicly – on their defensive coordinator position, but many fans believe Matt Eberflus will be one-and-done. They’ve also started lining up candidates to replace him – we’ve got 18 names across two lists, courtesy of yours truly – and the hottest name so far has been Brian Flores.

Currently the defensive coordinator with the Vikings, Flores has been one of the best defensive minds in the league for the last few years. But his contract is up after this season, and Mike Florio [recently lent credence to...

Happy New Year!

2026 has officially arrived and here at Blogging The Boys we hope that it is off to a special start for you and yours. It is amazing to think that this site is over 20 years old and that so many people have been here through the entire ride.

As we embark upon a new year and the subject of resolutions is all over the place, what should the Cowboys’ resolutions be?

You can take this in any direction that you’d like. You can speak to what should be actual or practical resolutions, or you can speak...

Given that everyone but Matt Eberflus’ own mother thinks he will be fired soon, it’s no surprise that we’re already deep into talk about the Dallas Cowboys’ next defensive coordinator. But while we’re discussing a Brian Flores here or an Al Harris there, we shouldn’t ignore all in-house options. If the front office does want to promote from within, defensive line coach Aaron Whitecotton is the most likely candidate.

While only in his first season with Dallas, Whitecotton has been a primary DL coach since 2021 and an assistant since 2013. He started in Jacksonville as part of Gus Bradley’s...

Aaron Whitecotton could be the next Dallas Cowboys defensive coordinator, and the more I look at it, the more it makes sense.

If Matt Eberflus is fired, Dallas won’t need to search far for a new DC candidate, they might already have the right one coaching the defensive line.

Cowboys players respect him, he’s coached under some serious defensive minds, and honestly, the idea doesn’t feel all that wild. It feels earned.

The Aaron Whitecotton Move Makes Total Sense

I’ve been thinking about new defensive coordinators that could elevate the Cowboys defense, and have been looking outside the...

Brian Schottenheimer explains Cowboys’ decision to waive Trevon Diggs – Tommy Yarrish, DallasCowboys.com

This rocky situation finally came to an end.

FRISCO, Texas – As the new year comes around, the Cowboys will enter 2026 without Trevon Diggs on their roster after waiving the sixth-year CB on Tuesday.

In his weekly Wednesday press conference, head coach Brian Schottenheimer explained the team’s decision to move on from the former All-Pro.

“It was a culmination of multiple factors,” Schottenheimer said. “Performance, other elements. He’s been an incredible player for this organization, and I really do, I truly do...

With their hopes for the playoffs far in the Dallas Cowboys’ rear view mirror, the team and a few players have some personal marks to play for on Sunday.

The New York Giants have little hope at reclaiming the No. 1 draft pick in April even with a loss.

Most of the roster is probably playing for their jobs next year as well.

The two top goals for Dallas will be ending the season on a two-game winning streak and finishing the season at .500.

An 8-8-1 record would help the team avoid its first back-to-back losing seasons since the...

With the Dallas Cowboys season coming to an end, this is a good time to look at the biggest needs for Dallas and who the key prospects are in the first round the Cowboys could take with either of their Day 1 picks. In this edition we look at the edge defenders.

Rueben Bain Jr, Miami

Bain Jr. is Miami’s built-in chaos button off the edge, playing with low pads, heavy hands, and a first step that jolts tackles before they settle, with enough size to kick inside and handle guards on passing downs.

Strengths:

He wins with leverage,...

It didn’t take long for former Dallas Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs to find a new home. On Tuesday, Diggs was released by Dallas. Now, the former second-round pick has been claimed by the Green Bay Packers.

Diggs struggled to stay on the field after signing his five-year, $97 million deal with the Cowboys in 2023. He played in only 21 games over the last three seasons, and that was in large part due to multiple serious knee issues. The first was a torn ACL in 2023 that he suffered after just two games that season. A year later, Diggs was...

To end the Dallas Cowboys 2025 season, the team travels to New York to take on the Giants. After the first practice of the week, here is where the teams are regarding injuries.

The Cowboys’ injury report is a long one today. Cornerback Shavon Revel Jr. (concussion/neck) was listed as a a DNP. Jake Ferguson (calf) did not practice on Wednesday. Also not practicing was recently promoted starting guard T.J. Bass (knee) and running back Malik Davis (calf/eye). We’ll see if Davis’ injuries linger over the week, as that could open the door for Jaydon Blue to see some playing...
