“It’s a huge loss for us, and we’ve got to find a way to come together and fill that place because — I said it last year and I said it this year — it’s been our bell cow. So, we’ve got to step up and find a way to fill that hole.”

Josh Paul Steele immediately substituted in the Houston game, however, after two poor plays that led to an A.J Duck Prescott Fumble and intercept, he was substituted Jason Peters On the winning run of 98 yards. Peters hasn’t played right since early in his 18-year career with the Buffalo Bills.

The Cowboys opened the Pro Bowl’s 21-day practice window at left tackle Tyrone Smith Last week, hope is to see action against the Jacksonville Jaguars this week. Smith suffered a torn hamstring in training camp that required surgery. He said he felt “great” after his first practice of the regular season.
