The Dallas Cowboys are in the middle of a Sunday Night Football matchup against the Green Bay Packers, and they’ll have to play the rest of the game without one of their players. KaVontae Turpin injured his ribs in the first half and was ruled out for the game.
Turpin usually returns kicks for the Cowboys, and it looks like they’ll have to find someone else to fill his void.
It hasn’t been the most productive season for Turpin so far, and last week against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, he finished with two receptions for 22 yards. He also had a fumble in the game after the Buccaneers had just taken a 21-10 lead. The Buccaneers ended up scoring with a field goal due to the fumble.

The Cowboys have been up and down this season, and it has led them to a 2-3 record heading into their matchup against the Packers. Days before the game, owner Jerry Jones spoke about where the team is at this point of the season, and he seems to be optimistic.
“Our grade speaks for itself. We’re 2-3,” Jones said via Jon Machota of The Athletic. “What I would tell you is, I like where we are today as opposed to this time last year or, frankly, this time the year before.”
The one area where the Cowboys have to improve is on defense, which is where they put a big emphasis during the offseason. As far as the offense, they’ve been consistent, but not enough to win as much as they’d like.
