Will 6-2 Cowboys be active at trade deadline as they enter bye week?
The Cowboys have won six games without Pro Bowl left tackle Throne Smith. They went 4-1 without Prescott. They beat the Bears without Elliott. They have had to deal with injuries to safeties Jayson Kearse (knee) and Malik Hooker (hamstring), cornerback Jourdan Lewis (foot), wide receiver Noah Brown (foot), linebacker Anthony Barr and even their long-snapper, Jake McQuaide (triceps) and succeeded. Whether the Cowboys make a sizable trade -- or add a free agent -- doesn’t change coach Mike McCarthy’s approach. He reminded players to be safe during the bye week and said the third quarter of the season starts when they get back to work on Nov. 7. Last year, the Cowboys were 6-2 after eight games and lost two of three. In 2016, they were 7-1, and despite having the best record in the NFC, lost in the divisional round of the playoffs. The run to the playoffs in 2018 did not start until after a midseason trade for receiver Amari Cooper.
