RK Just in: the Cowboys are getting a major boost before facing Washington — three key starters are officially back and ready to roll. After weeks of uncertainty, this could be the turning point Dallas needed to reclaim NFC East dominance.
Frisco, TX — The Dallas Cowboys are getting a major boost ahead of their Week 7 clash with the Washington Commanders, as three key offensive starters have officially been activated to return.
After three games sidelined with a sprained ankle, star wide receiver CeeDee Lamb is back on the field and expected to suit up Sunday. Head coach Brian Schottenheimer joked when asked about Lamb’s status:
“If he’s breathing, I’d feel pretty good.” His return gives the Cowboys’ passing attack its top weapon once again.
Special teams ace and receiver KaVontae Turpin also returns after missing two games with a foot injury. Turpin’s explosive speed has been sorely missed in the return game, where Dallas has struggled to generate field position. His comeback adds immediate energy to both offense and special teams.
Rookie right guard Tyler Booker, who has been recovering from an ankle sprain, completed his ramp-up this week and participated in limited practice sessions. Booker stayed in shape during his recovery using a stationary “Assault Airbike” while wearing a protective boot — a sign of his determination to return stronger.
Booker’s presence could help stabilize the running game, which hit a season-low 1.6 yards per carry in the Week 6 loss to Carolina. Coaches expect his physicality to bring balance back to the offensive line.
Even without Lamb, the Cowboys’ passing offense has remained efficient, ranking first in total yards (387.5 per game) and third in scoring (29.7 points per game). But with Lamb, Turpin, and Booker all back, the unit looks poised to return to full strength.
Schottenheimer emphasized the importance of managing their workload, noting that each player will be monitored closely in practice. Still, the optimism around The Star is clear — the Cowboys are finally getting healthy at the right time.
As Dallas prepares to host Washington, fans can expect a reenergized offense, a faster return game, and a locker room buzzing with confidence.
