The Dallas Cowboys have placed All-Pro guard Zack Martin and cornerback Josh Butler on injured reserve ahead of their Monday night matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals.

In a bid to bolster their lineup, the Cowboys activated cornerback Amani Oruwariye from injured reserve and elevated Andrew Booth from the practice squad. The game is set for 8:15 p.m. ET in Dallas.

Josh Butler, a Michigan State football player, shares a heartfelt story about his journey through grief and healing with the help of his dogs, Roxy and Remi. On Senior Day, he brings them onto the field, turning a moment of sadness into joy as they capture the hearts of fans.

Butler's life has been marked by the loss of both parents, with his father's death from a heart attack and his mother's tragic involvement in a crime leading to her arrest. Despite these challenges, the bond with his dogs has been a source of comfort and motivation.

After college, Butler faced uncertainty in his football career but eventually signed with the Michigan Panthers and later the Dallas Cowboys. His resilience shines through as he navigates the ups and downs of professional football, always supported by his loyal companions.

The Cincinnati Bengals are struggling this season with a 4-8 record, despite having one of the top offenses in the NFL. Their defense has been a major liability, allowing 34 points in four of their last five games. Joe Burrow leads the league with 30 touchdown passes, yet the team risks missing the playoffs.

This week, they face the Dallas Cowboys, who are 5-7 and without starting quarterback Dak Prescott. A win for the Cowboys would mark their first three-game winning streak of the season.

The Dallas Cowboys are gradually recovering from a season plagued by injuries, with key players like Micah Parsons and DaRon Bland returning to full health. Although Dak Prescott will not return this year, the offense is also boosted by Brandin Cooks' return in Week 13.

Looking ahead to their matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 14, head coach Mike McCarthy is optimistic about tight end Jake Ferguson's potential return after a concussion. Cornerback Trevon Diggs is also making progress from a groin injury, which is crucial as the Cowboys have yet to have both him and Bland on the field together this season.

While Ferguson's absence has allowed for the emergence of players like Luke Schoonmaker and Josh Butler, who had a standout performance in Week 12 before suffering a torn ACL, the team is eager to regain its full strength.

Cooper Rush is set to start for the Dallas Cowboys against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 14, marking their second meeting in his NFL career. The Cowboys, riding a two-game win streak, aim to leverage their home-field advantage after a recent victory over the New York Giants.
