The NFL is a very tricky league, where one Sunday could see a team on a collision course with the Superbowl, while the next Sunday could see their chances all but obliterated. More than often, these types of situations are the results of injuries. This is something the Dallas Cowboys have endured before during the Tony Romo era.
What makes this a relevant topic now is the fact that the Dallas Cowboys are seemingly in a title-contending position heading into this season. Furthermore is the fact that one of their strengths is their defense and especially their dynamic linebacker core, where two of the three main backers have a bit of a checkered injury history.
