The Dallas Cowboys enter a short week for Thursday Night Football against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after a 34-30 Week 4 win that pulled them to 2-2. The injury report remains lengthy but contains no new designations, with several players listed as DNP or limited due to hamstring, thumb, or ankle issues. Notably, offensive guard Tyler Smith could return from thumb surgery, potentially restoring a key piece up front, though the team may opt to give him another week of rest. The outlook centers on balancing a healthier roster with the desire to move above .500 and begin a streak. The matchup at AT&T Stadium on Thursday night looms as a pivotal early-season test.
