Mike McCarthy seems to still have the locker room under control.

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott recently and wholeheartedly endorsed head coach Mike McCarthy, whose future is uncertain as he guides his 5-7 team in the final year of his contract.

When asked about Prescott’s remarks on 105.3 The Fan, Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones said the “whole team” endorses McCarthy, mentioning his resume (which includes a Super Bowl XLV win) and saying that he “knows what it takes to win in this league.”

McCarthy is in his fifth year as the Cowboys’ head coach. He’s led the team to the playoffs after 12-win campaigns each of the past three seasons, but that’s only resulted in one postseason victory and zero NFC Championship Game appearances.

Several key players for the Cowboys are trending towards playing against the Bengals.

When the Dallas Cowboys face the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday, the Cowboys will essentially be staring at their reflection.

Both teams entered the season hoping to build on their recent successes over the past few years and were expected to compete for a divisional championship.

Unfortunately, both teams have disappointed and are facing a premature end of the road for their respective seasons. Injuries have been an issue for both clubs, let’s see what the Friday injury report holds.

First, the good news: CeeDee Lamb was upgraded to a limited participant Friday after sitting out yesterday.

Trevon Diggs (knee) and DeMarvion Overshown (hamstring) were again limited today. Tyler Smith (ankle) and DaRon Bland (foot) were full participants for the second day in a row.

As for the bad news: Tyler Guyton (ankle/knee) logged his second consecutive DNP. Juanyeh Thomas (knee) also was a DNP. The Cowboys recently sent Asim Richards to injured reserve. If Guyton doesn’t practice tomorrow, it appears that Chuma Edoga will get the start Monday at left tackle.
