Cowboys injury updates: Dee Winters has Achilles strain, KaVontae Turpin rib issue

The Dallas Cowboys have residual problems coming from Sunday night’s loss. On the field the Cowboys were beaten soundly by the Green Bay Packers, but they are now going to be dealing with problems off of it as well.

Head coach Brian Schottenheimer noted after the game that linebacker Dee Winters has an Achilles strain while KaVontae Turpin is dealing with a rib cartilage issue. He added that x-rays were positive in that sense.

Turpin left the game rather early and was just about immediately ruled out for overall context.

Winters’ issue came later, after he recorded the first interception of the season for the defense, and his absence was certainly felt.

The Cowboys already have a lot of players who are dealing with certain ailments and now things are going to get even more complicated. Tyler Goodson and Jonathan Mingo handled some of the returner duties, but perhaps the Cowboys will have a different plan as they have a week to prepare for their next game next Monday night in Philadelphia.
