Last Sunday, the Dallas Cowboys‘ offense passed their first test in the New York Giants defense. While there are some improvements to be made, the overall performance was good.

This week poses another tough test with the vaunted Broncos’ defense. They’re not as great as the 2015 unit that won the Super Bowl, but they still have superstars across the field.

This unit will be one of the best Dallas plays this year, and will be a good benchmark for the rest of the season.

Injury Report

The only injury concern on the Cowboys’ offense is wide receiver Terrance Williams.

He suffered a lateral ankle sprain during the Giants’ game, but was able to play through it. He’s questionable for Sunday, and did not practice Wednesday.

For the Broncos’ defense, there are injuries in the secondary and defensive line.

Starting safety Darian Stewart suffered a groin injury during their game on Monday night, and didn’t practice Wednesday.

Defensive linemen Jared Crick and Zach Kerr are battling back and knee injuries and were limited in practice this week.
