The Dallas Cowboys are facing a critical stretch as they aim for a playoff spot, relying heavily on key players while assessing their roster for the future.

Linebacker DeMarvion Overshown is recovering from a hamstring injury but has shown impressive performance, while running back Rico Dowdle is stepping up after a standout game against the New York Giants.

Quarterback Cooper Rush is under pressure due to injuries and a struggling run game, and offensive guard Brock Hoffman must fill the void left by Zack Martin's season-ending injury.

Wide receiver KaVontae Turpin's speed may be pivotal in creating mismatches as the team evaluates its offensive strategy moving forward.
