Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott (hamstring), guard Zack Martin (ankle/shoulder), safety Markquese Bell (shoulder), cornerback Trevon Diggs (groin), wide receiver Brandin Cooks (knee), and tight end Jake Ferguson (concussion) have all been ruled out for Sunday’s game against the Commanders.

Cowboys vs. Commanders Betting Prediction:
The wheels have officially come off the bus for the Dallas Cowboys this season. They have lost 5 straight games outright by a combined score of 172-70. Dallas got outscored by more than 20 points per game in that span. And things likely won’t get better anytime soon. With Dak Prescott on injured reserve, the Cowboys are forced to start Cooper Rush at quarterback. He has a touchdown-pass-to-interception ratio of 2-2 and a total QBR of 28.5 this season. He’ll likely have trouble moving the ball against an underrated Washington defense.
The Commanders have a chance to make a playoff push starting on Sunday. Washington’s next three games are against Dallas, Tennessee, and New Orleans. If they go 3-0 in that span, they will sit at 10-4 and will almost surely be in the playoffs. The Commanders needed a get-right spot after losing their last two games against the Steelers and Eagles. A floundering Cowboys team is just what the doctor ordered. I’m laying the points with Washington at home against Dallas on Sunday.
