Things certainly took a positive turn after the doom and gloom of the bye week.
Even if temporary, Cowboys will take any win when it comes to Ezekiel Elliott - Todd Archer, Dallas Cowboys Blog- ESPN
As you are probably aware, Ezekiel Elliott was granted (another) temporary restraining order that will keep him on the field for at least another week, and there are some signs that further decisions may go his way.
This is good news for the Cowboys, even if it is only temporary.
At 2-3, the Cowboys need their best player to play as many games as possible, including against a winless team like the 49ers on Sunday.
Dallas Cowboys' Ezekiel Elliott says he's not ready to end fight with NFL - Todd Archer, ESPN
There have been some who suggested that it would have been better for Elliott to sit his suspension at the start of the season and get it over with. But for the player, and the human being, this is about far more than football.
"When you get accused of something of that magnitude, you kind of get labeled as an abuser, and that's not me," Elliott said. "That's not how I want to be seen. That's not what I want to represent to my family. So I mean it's just important for me to fight."
Cowboys injury report: Sean Lee practices while Tyron Smith, Chidobe Awuzie sit out - Dave Halprin, Blogging The Boys
Tyron Smith and Chidobe Awuzie sat out the practice, but Smith at least is expected to see the field later this week. More importantly, one key player was back.
The good news for the Cowboys is that the bye week has helped one really important player get healthy. Sean Lee participated in practice for the first time since he injured his hamstring.
Dallas Cowboys: Why Cowboys remain in a really good spot for now; the problem Marinelli may not overcome | Bob Sturm, SportsDay
Sturm took a look at things over the bye, and while there are certainly problems for Dallas, there is one very big plus - at least for now.
The Cowboys remain in a fine position to strike back. Not because of their win total or their great accomplishments this year. Not at all. But again -- just like in 2016 -- it seems like they're just about the healthiest team in the sport. On offense, they have had perfect attendance across the board from pretty much every single member. That is not common right now in this league. Everyone is dealing with injuries and nearly everyone has lost someone for a few months or the year. Not the Cowboys. Look at that offensive roster -- where they have planted their resources and salary cap -- and you will see that they just keep marching on with the exact lineup that appeared on paper when the season began. That can change on any hit that occurs, but for now, you have a healthy team and that puts you in as good a spot as pretty much anyone in the conference.
The defense has not been as fortunate, but the few injuries that have occurred have been of the "weeks" variety rather than "months." Yes, Sean Lee being out could have likely made the difference between beating the Rams and Packers and not, but he is back. Anthony Hitchens is back. David Irving is back. Damontre Moore is back. The only injuries that have really been issues are Charles Tapper (broken bone in his right foot) and Stephen Paea's, who just up and retired because of his knee.
