FRISCO - The Dallas Cowboys' run-stopping issue? To paraphrase a coach Mike McCarthy pet theme, "the arrow is pointing down.'' Jordan Phillips on Wednesday was moved to injured reserve with a wrist issue. Thus, he’ll miss at least the next four games.
With Phillips down, journeyman defensive lineman Carlos Watkins is signing here. ..
. and he was present here at The Star in Frisco today. But with the most imperfect timing, fellow interior defensive lineman Mazi Smith, the struggling 2023 first-round pick from Michigan, was seen exiting the practice field in the accompaniment of a trainer.

who so far has not been help nearly enough. Dallas now goes back to the drawing board with the run-wild Baltimore Ravens coming to town on Sunday. .
.. and maybe, somehow, there are reinforcements on the way.
Pro Bowl tight end Jake Ferguson (knee) was able to do some work in practice, so that's a big plus in anticipation of Sunday. And more long-term, cornerback DaRon Bland was on the cords with trainers, a step toward a positive future that can't come soon enough for the 1-1 Cowboys. A jump-out concern for the day? CeeDee Lamb (ankle) and Trevon Diggs (foot) join Mazi (back) as DNPs Oh boy.
