At halftime on Sunday night, for all competitive intents and purposes, the Dallas Cowboys' 2025 season seemed to be over. Dallas trailed Philadelphia 21-0, and its lackluster first half looked like the nail in the coffin of its bleak playoff hopes. To everyone's surprise, the Cowboys climbed out of the 10-foot hole they had dug themselves, putting together a spirited performance in the second half.
FRISCO, Texas -- Dallas Cowboys left tackle Tyler Guyton is unlikely to play on Thanksgiving against the Kansas City Chiefs because of a high ankle sprain suffered in the second half of Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles, according to multiple sources. While the injury is considered to be on the "milder" side of a typical high ankle sprain, the four-day turnaround makes it difficult for Guyton to be ready to play Thursday. The Cowboys will hold a couple of walk-through practices this week in order to get ready for the Chiefs.
After falling into a 21-0 hole early in the second quarter, almost everyone felt like it was over. But you know the saying, it's never over until it's over. The Cowboys came to life, especially on the defense, and shut out the Eagles for the rest of the game. Dallas' offense built on that and they won 24-21 to keep their playoff hunt on life-support.
There is no denying the fantasy football season is nearing its peak: the playoffs are approaching, the standings are solidifying, and the top players of the year have emerged. Still, these last few games before the postseason mean everything to those trying to improve their position or sneak into the playoff picture itself. The Dallas Cowboys roster has proven particularly helpful in this regard, as their plethora of fantasy-relevant options has carried teams through this season with big point totals; hell, even the kicker has been a fantasy weapon.
The defensive line for the Dallas Cowboys has seen many new faces so far in 2025. With Micah Parsons subtracted out, and Kenny Clark, Quinnen Williams, Jadaveon Clowney, and Donovan Ezeiruaku added in, it has been quite the roller coaster of a ride for the defensive line through 11 weeks. It will likely look a little more different in Week 12 with Perrion Winfrey expected to make his Cowboys debut on Sunday.
After winning the Senior Bowl MVP in 2022, Winfrey entered the NFL as a fifth-round pick of the Browns a few months later. He totaled 22 tackles and a half-sack in 13 games as a rookie. That proved to be Winfrey's lone season in Cleveland, which waived him a few months after a misdemeanor assault charge in 2023. Winfrey played in one game with the Jets in his second season before a stint with the UFL's Birmingham Stallions last year.
Interestingly, as the Cowboys went out on offense, they did so without both CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens. The Monday Night Football broadcast began speculating what this was all about and quickly reported that it had to do with a "coach's decision" from Brian Schottenheimer and that it was not injury related. Schotty spoke about the matter following the win and reiterated that line.
