CAPTAINS: The Cowboys’ captains for Week 2 at the Chargers are Tyron Smith Dorance Armstrong and Cedrick Wilson. The inactives are Donovan Wilson, Will Grier, Chauncey Golston and Ty Nsekhe.
QB PLAY: In a Week 1 loss vs. the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Prescott threw the ball 58 times and Ezekiel Elliot only had 11 rushing attempts. Meanwhile, the Chargers beat the Washington Football Team and their supposed- dominant defense as Herbert finished 31-of-47 passing for 337 yards with a game-winning touchdown in the fourth quarter.
BIG PROBLEMS FOR DALLAS' D: The Cowboys will likely be without both starting defensive ends. Randy Gregory is on the COVID-19 list and Demarcus Lawrence suffered a broken foot that will likely sideline him for eight weeks.
