"Being shorthanded last week against the New York Jets didn't seem to affect the Dallas Cowboys play much, if any. Although several starters were sidelined with injuries, players stepping in for them rose to the occasion and had been games for themselves. To earn another "W" in the Week 6 matchup with the Carolina Panthers, these players may need to have another repeat performance."
"He is not Micah Parsons, but James Houston has turned himself in to the Cowboys best pass rusher through the first five weeks of the 2025 NFL season. He currently leads the team in QB sacks with 3.5, coming on strong as of the last two weeks with 2.5 sacks. He continuously harassed QB Justin Fields last week, sacking him 1.5 times, and hopefully picks up where he left off against the Panthers this week."
"That of course all change last week when Jack Sanborn exited the game early in the second quarter against the Jets with a concussion. James was then thrust in the starting lineup and ended up leaving the team in tackles (17). With Sanborn still in concussion protocol, Dallas' rookie fifth-round pick this year could be in line for his first start against a Panthers."
Several Dallas Cowboys starters missed time, forcing backups into larger roles. James Houston emerged as the primary pass rusher, leading the team with 3.5 sacks and recording 2.5 sacks over the last two weeks while pressuring quarterbacks consistently. Jack Sanborn left with a concussion, prompting rookie Shemar James to start and record 17 tackles, positioning him for another start if Sanborn remains in protocol. With CeeDee Lamb and KaVontae Turpin sidelined, Ryan Flournoy produced a breakout game with six catches for 114 yards and 10 rushing yards, demonstrating increased involvement with Dak Prescott.
