Cowboys owner Jerry Jones indicated Dallas could spend to improve its roster as the team deals with injuries before its Sept. 27 game against the Baltimore Ravens in Rio de Janeiro.
Jones first raised the possibility after the Cowboys defeated the Washington Commanders, telling reporters, “There is nothing more dangerous than an old man with money.” During his weekly appearance on 105.3 The Fan, he confirmed that the remark referred to potential football-related moves. Jones also said he is highly optimistic about the team and would be willing to invest in improving it.
Jones praised defensive tackles Quinnen Williams and Kenny Clark, describing them as central pieces of the Cowboys’ defense. He said Williams ranks among the league’s top players and that Clark provides steady performance at a high level.
Dallas could be without cornerback Cobie Durant and safety PJ Locke for several weeks. Durant has a hamstring strain, while Locke tore the plantar fascia in his foot. Coach Brian Schottenheimer said the team has not determined whether either player will be placed on injured reserve.
He also said Locke’s recovery could progress more quickly after a complete tear, although the injury is expected to be painful initially.
Linebacker DeMarvion Overshown, who has a hamstring strain, and safety Malik Hooker, who has a broken forearm, had not been cleared to return after missing the Washington game. Their status was expected to be reflected on the team’s first official injury report, with the shorter preparation period potentially affecting their availability.
