Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones indicated the team could spend money on roster improvements as injuries threaten to sideline several defensive players for the Sept. 27 game against the Baltimore Ravens in Rio de Janeiro.
Jones first made the comment after Dallas defeated the Washington Commanders, telling reporters, "There is nothing more dangerous than an old man with money." During a later appearance on 105.3 The Fan, he confirmed that the remark referred to potential football moves. Jones said he was highly optimistic about the team and would be willing to invest in improving it.
He also praised defensive tackles Quinnen Williams and Kenny Clark, describing them as key contributors in the middle of the defense. Williams was characterized by Jones as one of the league's top players, while Clark was credited with maintaining a high level of play consistently.
Cornerback Cobie Durant and safety PJ Locke are expected to miss multiple weeks, according to the injury updates provided by coach Brian Schottenheimer. Durant has a hamstring strain, and Locke tore the plantar fascia in his foot. The Cowboys have not decided whether either player will be placed on injured reserve.
Linebacker DeMarvion Overshown, who has a hamstring strain, and safety Malik Hooker, who has a broken forearm, had not been cleared to return as of the team's update. Their availability was expected to be addressed on the first official injury report, due Sept. 23. Schottenheimer said the shortened week could make a return difficult but did not rule it out.
