Cowboys injuries: Jake Ferguson doesn’t practice, CeeDee Lamb upgraded to full practice

For the Dallas Cowboys to do the improbable and make the playoffs, they are going to need a win over the Minnesota Vikings. Thursday’s injury report offers some optimism and some bad news for that game. Here’s the most recent news regarding Dallas’ injuries.

Still no official practice for Tyler Guyton. Guyton has missed multiple games because of a high-ankle sprain, and maybe he can get some limited action tomorrow, but for now, he is trending toward not playing Sunday night.

CeeDee Lamb (concussion) did practice again today and improved to full participation. That is a major plus, as he...

Cowboys vs. Vikings: Matchups to watch in Week 15

This Week 15 matchup between the Dallas Cowboys and Minnesota Vikings is an important one for both organizations. Both teams are still technically in the playoff race, but the Cowboys are the ones that still have a realistic path. Minnesota is building for the future.

With home field advantage and arguably the better roster, the Dallas Cowboys are favored to win this game. To do so though, they need to win certain matchups to help sway the game in their favor. Here are the key matchups will be paying particularly close attention to this week.

Week 15 rooting guide for Cowboys fans

Week 15 rooting guide for Cowboys fans

The further we go down this 2025 playoffs pipe dream, the increasingly clearer path is through the NFC East. But nothing is officially off the table yet for the Cowboys, meaning we still need to keep an eye on the rest of the conference as we get into the final four weeks of the regular season.

With the Eagles dropping three in a row and still only two games ahead of Dallas, they have become the most catchable playoff hopeful. Even the seventh-seeded Bears are 9-4, a game better than Philly overall. That means our division rivals are not only...

Current NFL Referee CBA expires May 31, and the league is eying changes

So a bit of an important note by the NFL when the next season rolls around was dropped yesterday. This season will be the last of the existing agreement between the league and the NFL Referees Association. It is set to expire at the end of May.

A memo was set out yesterday by NFL vice president of football operations Troy Vincent and general counsel Larry Ferazani.

They said that they have been in talks to extend the current agreement since the Summer of 2024, but they have been unsuccessful.

NFL MVP Race Update: Stagnation Hits Top Candidate List

NFL MVP Race Update: Stagnation Hits Top Candidate List

All football fans know that the 2025 season is one of the most wide-open years in recent memory. It is mid-December, and it feels like every team is in the race for the playoffs, and anybody can jump out to grab the NFL MVP award.

In terms of that top honor an individual player can get, we’re likely just a week or two away from the race finally consolidating into something concrete.

The MVP hunt has yet to see a heavy favorite this season, but it has had consistency for quite a while at this point.

Los Angeles and Foxborough...

BTB Thursday Discussion: What concerns you most about the Vikings?

The last few days have been full of all sorts of optimism around the Dallas Cowboys and their potential path to the playoffs, but all of that can completely fall apart if they don’t take care of business themselves.

Up first for the Cowboys in this sense is the Minnesota Vikings. The Cowboys are huge favorites, but they were favored against Arizona, too. And against the Panthers. And against the Bears. You get the point here.

Simply put… this is the NFL and the same NFL where last week the New Orleans Saints traveled to play and successfully defeated the...

Cowboys have new outlook on late season primetime game vs. Vikings

Cowboys have new outlook on late season primetime game vs. Vikings

For the final time this season, the Dallas Cowboys play in primetime on Sunday Night Football in Week 15 against the Minnesota Vikings. Remarkably, the Cowboys second straight primetime game and third big stage in a row when considering Thanksgiving versus the Chiefs still carries a lot of meaning towards making a playoff push despite last Thursday’s loss at the Lions. The Cowboys have the Eagles’ third straight loss on Monday night at the Chargers to thank for this.

We say all the time that the NFL is a week-to-week league. This has never been more true than a 2025...

A Statement Analysis of the Cowboys’ Trevon Diggs Update Is Not Good

A Statement Analysis of the Cowboys’ Trevon Diggs Update Is Not Good

When I heard Brian Schottenheimer’s comments about Trevon Diggs’ potential return, the statement analyst in me immediately went to work.

Coaches often reveal more in their phrasing than they do in their intentions, and this quote didn’t sound like a routine injury update. It sounded cautious, non-committal, and layered with signals.

I see signals that Diggs’ future in Dallas may be uncertain, and the team isn’t willing to publicly admit it.

The full quote:

“He’s still in the ramp-up period. I think he does feel healthy; I know he wants to play, but at the end of the day,...

Cowboys news: Trevon Diggs needs to show ‘consistency’ before playing again

Schottenheimer: CB Trevon Diggs must show ‘consistency in everything’ before returning – Calvin Watkins, Dallas Morning News

The Trevon Diggs saga continues to be a weird one.

FRISCO — Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer hinted Wednesday that cornerback Trevon Diggs needs to do more in his rehab work to get taken off the injured list, where he’s been since Oct. 25.

Diggs has missed the last seven games due to soreness in both knees and concussion recovery. Diggs is no longer in concussion protocol but is rehabbing from knee issues.

He was limited in Wednesday’s practice....

23 teams remain in the chase for 14 playoff spots

23 teams remain in the chase for 14 playoff spots

Only 23 teams, 11 in the NFC and 12 in the AFC, remain alive for the playoffs after 14 weeks of the NFL season.

Of the nine teams on the outside looking in, three of them pretty much have as their only hope, somehow rallying to win their division.

Carolina is tied with Tampa Bay, but currently loses the tie-breaker in the NFC. In the AFC, both Baltimore and Cincinnati, at 6-7, have little hope at a wildcard berth.

But both teams trail Pittsburgh by just a game.

Ironically, the team currently in the cat-bird seat in the AFC North...

Which former Cowboys coach would you like to see back in Dallas next year?

Which former Cowboys coach would you like to see back in Dallas next year?

There may be some vacancies in the Cowboys coaching staff after the season. Defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus has been on a hot seat practically the whole season and even special teams coordinator Nick Sorensen is coming under increased scrutiny.

The Cowboys have not been averse to bringing back coaches that have coached in Dallas before. Matt Eberflus (DAL 2011-17) is just the most recent example, but before him Mike Zimmer (DAL 1994-2006) was brought back for a one-year stint in 2024, Aden Durde was a coaching intern from 2014-2015 before coming back as a defensive line coach from 2021-2023, Dave...
