The Dallas Cowboys face a significant challenge as they prepare for Week 5 against the Pittsburgh Steelers without key players Micah Parsons and DeMarcus Lawrence due to injuries. Parsons described the situation as 'tragic,' emphasizing the importance of depth and experience for the team.

Head coach Mike McCarthy views this as an opportunity for younger players to step up, while cornerback Trevon Diggs acknowledges the added pressure on himself to lead in the absence of vocal leaders. The team remains optimistic about their performance despite these setbacks.
