Overview

  • Dallas sits 1-2-1 after a 40-40 draw with Green Bay, with Dak Prescott leading the NFL in passing volume as the offense paces the team.
  • CeeDee Lamb (high-ankle sprain) was out of his walking boot and doing rehab work but remained a DNP on Wednesday, leaving his Week 5 status uncertain.
  • KaVontae Turpin (foot) missed practice and could be out against the Jets, prompting WR depth moves that included signing Parris Campbell to the practice squad and promoting Ryan Flournoy.
  • Three offensive-line starters—LT Tyler Guyton (concussion), G Tyler Smith (knee) and G Tyler Booker (ankle)—were listed as DNP, compounding concerns ahead of the road game.
  • Dallas’ defense has allowed a league-high 420.5 yards per game and 33 points per game through four weeks, while the 0-4 Jets enter as the NFL’s only team without a takeaway.
