Dallas Cowboys release Dontari Poe, Daryl Worley

A day after trading defensive end Everson Griffen to the Detroit Lions, the Dallas Cowboys have cut veteran defensive tackle Dontari Poe and cornerback Daryl Worley as they look for ways to jump-start a defense that has been woeful. The Cowboys had hoped to make a trade involving Poe or Worley, but opted to move on when they were unable to do so. Poe and Worley were not on the practice field during the portion open to the media, and coach Mike McCarthy would not get into the players' status at his daily news conference. Poe had just nine tackles in seven starts. He signed a two-year deal worth up to $10.5 million as a free agent that included $3.5 million guaranteed. He was limited in training camp after coming back from quadriceps surgery, but he did not help stop the run. Because Poe and Worley are vested veterans, their base salaries are fully guaranteed and the Cowboys do not gain any immediate salary-cap space. They will save $4 million in cap space in 2021 for Poe.

Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott to rookie Ben DiNucci: 'Go out there and do you'

Dalton remains in the concussion protocol from a vicious hit he took in the third quarter from Washington Football Team linebacker Jon Bostic. He was able to take part in quarterback meetings on Thursday but has yet to practice. DiNucci took over for an injured Dalton last week. He completed 2 of 3 passes for 39 yards and was sacked three times. DiNucci would be the first rookie quarterback for the Cowboys to start a game since Prescott in 2006. Overall, rookie quarterbacks are 3-10 in their debuts in Dallas' history. The last rookie to win in his first start was Jason Garrett against the Phoenix Cardinals in 1993, but he was pulled in the first quarter in favor of Bernie Kosar, who was signed a few days before the game.

The Cowboys have activated center Joe Looney and linebacker Sean Lee off injured reserve. Looney has missed three games with a knee injury, but Tyler Biadasz is expected to continue as the starter. Lee had pelvis surgery at the start of the season and hasn't played this season. Cornerback Chidobe Awuzie, who has not played since Week 2 because of a hamstring pull, practiced all week but will miss another game. Saivion Smith was called up from the practice squad as an extra defensive back.

If Ben DiNucci starts Sunday for the Cowboys, it will be James Madison vs. North Dakota State with Carson Wentz starting for the Eagles. According to Elias, the last primetime game between starting quarterbacks from non-FBS schools was Dec. 9, 2013 when Eastern Illinois' Tony Romo (Cowboys) took on Sam Houston State's Josh McCown (Bears) on Monday Night Football

Last week, Jaylon Smith the Cowboys were past excuses. The defense is still looking for a solid performance. “For us, it's just about figuring out how we can tighten down on those little mental errors that individually people are making and the cohesiveness,” he said. “That's really what it comes down to. It's something that it takes time, but we're seven or eight games in and that's a lot of time to go through those experiences. But it's time to change the narrative.”
 
Three-time Super Bowl winner Herb Adderley dies at 81

Hall of Fame defensive back Herb Adderley, who played in four of the first six Super Bowls as a member of the Green Bay Packers and Dallas Cowboys, died Friday at the age of 81. In the early days of football on television, Adderley made his appearances count and is most remembered for his postseason contributions. He was a member of all five of Lombardi's NFL title teams and played in the first two Super Bowls. Adderley played in two more Super Bowls with Dallas in 1971 and 1972, winning his sixth title with the Cowboys in his final season. Adderley was an All-Pro seven times, from 1962 to 1967 and again in 1969.

Aldon Smith was glad the Cowboys had faith in him and did not deal him prior to the trade deadline. A free agent at the end of the season, he's not wondering about 2021. “I'm extremely grateful for the Cowboys giving me a chance. I mean, I appreciate that. I'm not thinking about next season. I really just want to — I want to win. I want to keep getting better every week, and I want to keep getting better every week.” There have not been any extension talks as of yet for Smith.

Cooper Rush said much of the Cowboys offense is the same and believes his background with the skill players helps. “That was one thing I was really happy about, throwing routes on air and things like that, timing type things, the last few days really came back a lot faster than I expected,” he said. “Having thrown to those guys for years before really helped. It comes right back. Knowing the timing of things already in your head, but having actual experience with those receivers helps a lot.”

Garrett Gilbert's path to the Cowboys has been winding. He has spent time with the Rams, New England, Detroit, Oakland, Carolina and Cleveland in addition to a stop in the AAF with Orlando. He has thrown six passes in his career. “It's been quite the journey that is for sure,” he said. “There is a fine line between saying this over with and I don't know if I going to get another shot. I never lost that belief. I never lost the love for it or the want to be out here or the want to be playing.”

How strange is the Cowboys' QB situation? If Cooper Rush starts Sunday vs. Pittsburgh, he would be the team's first non-rookie quarterback to make his first start with fewer than six pass attempts in his career. He has just three. If Garrett Gilbert starts, it would match Reggie Collier (1986) and Drew Henson (2004) in fewest pass attempts among non-rookie quarterback making their first starts. They had six pass attempts each.
 
Dallas Cowboys RB Ezekiel Elliott limited with hamstring strain
Elliott is in the midst of his longest streak without a 100-yard game. He is on pace for just 1,042 yards, being impacted by the loss of QB Dak Prescott as well as large deficits in games that have prevented the Cowboys from running as much.


Source: Dallas Cowboys to start QB Garrett Gilbert vs. Pittsburgh Steelers
Gilbert, who was signed off the Cleveland Browns practice squad on Oct. 12, will be making his first NFL start and his first start of any kind since playing for the Orlando Apollos of the defunct Alliance of American Football in 2019. Gilbert's six pass attempts will match the fewest by a non-rookie quarterback making his first start in franchise history

Dallas Cowboys News


Cowboys inactives: QB Ben DiNucci, WR Malik Turner, DB Reggie Robinson, LB Joe Thomas, RB Sewo Olonilua, DE Bradlee Anae. Thomas suffered a wrist injury in Friday's practice, which is why he is out. He should be back after the bye, but he could be forced to be in a cast for most of the season.

A source said Ezekiel Elliott will play today against Pittsburgh. He went through a 20-minute work out to test his sore hamstring. How much he will be used will be determined as the game goes along but Tony Pollard will get work as well. Elliott has never missed a game because of injury.

Mike McCarthy is just eight games into his tenure as Cowboys' coach but he knows franchise history, like Roger Staubach and Craig Morton alternating plays at quarterback in 1971. He will not do that today with Garrett Gilbert and Cooper Rush. “There are a lot of other great nods to Cowboys history that I will pursue. That want be one of them,” he said. “We will not alternate quarterbacks. We're going to give one of them the football and tell them to take it and run with it.”
