The Dallas Cowboys face a significant setback as wide receiver Brandin Cooks will miss the upcoming game against the Pittsburgh Steelers due to a knee infection. This follows a procedure he underwent in New York after last week's victory over the Giants.

In addition to Cooks, the Cowboys are already missing key defensive players Micah Parsons and DeMarcus Lawrence due to injuries. To address the defensive depth issues, Dallas has signed KJ Henry from the Cincinnati Bengals' practice squad.
