The Dallas Cowboys received a mix of good and bad injury news this week, as the team finishes its final preparations for a Week 11 showdown against the Las Vegas Raiders on Monday Night Football.

Dallas will be getting some reinforcements with NFL trade deadline acquisitions Quinnen Williams and Logan Wilson, while welcoming back rising star linebacker DeMarvion Overshown and Shavon Revel, the team's third-round pick in the 2025 NFL draft.

Unfortunately, the defense will be without a key veteran leader in the trenches.
