Dallas owner Jerry Jones says trading quarterback Dak Prescott "wouldn't make any sense," noting the franchise has never entertained offers and emphasizing Prescott's health and contract value. The 33‑year‑old, who signed a four‑year, $240 million extension in 2024, has thrown for 2,381 yards, 16 TDs and five interceptions in nine games, including a 27‑23 win over the Colts that lifted the Cowboys to 4‑5. Despite a defense ranked near the bottom, Dallas sits second in the NFC East behind the 5‑2‑1 Giants, keeping its playoff hopes alive as they prepare to face a 7‑1 49ers team.
Even if the Dallas Cowboys had any interest in moving George Pickens ahead of Tuesday's NFL trade deadline, which they likely didn't, there reportedly wasn't much of a market awaiting them.
The Dallas Mavericks climb to ninth in the West at 7-4, fueled by Kyrie Irving’s recent 26.8‑point average and a 43‑point, 10‑rebound performance by 19‑year‑old Cooper Glagg—making him the first teen since Kevin Durant with such stats. Irving urges teammates to ignore trade rumors and praises coach Dusty May, while rookie Flagg fuels his growth with a high‑calorie sandwich routine. Meanwhile, Victor Wembanyama records his second 40‑point, 10‑rebound, eight‑block game of the season, joining Wilt Chamberlain in the record books. The New Orleans Pelicans endure a franchise‑worst 51‑point loss to the Warriors, prompting coach Jamahl Mosley to confront defensive lapses.
The Minnesota Timberwolves, now 8‑3, aim for a fifth straight win on Nov. 9 against the Dallas Mavericks (6‑4) at the Target Center. Without Anthony Edwards, LaMelo Ball (24 pts, 5 ast) and Ayo Dosunmu have kept the backcourt humming, while rookie Cooper Flagg (24/6.6/7) leads Dallas alongside Kyrie Irving, who’s back averaging over 20 points. Key matchup: Mavericks’ Flagg versus Timberwolves’ Jonathan Kuminga, who must contain the power‑forward’s size. The game pits two point‑guard maestros—Ball and Irving—in a tactical duel.

The Dallas Cowboys’ first half of the 2026 season earns a mixed report card. While the team sits at 4-5 after three tough losses to Tampa Bay, Green Bay and Arizona, standout performances keep hopes alive. Defensive tackle Quinnen Williams earns an A with 5 sacks and 14 tackles‑for‑loss, tying for fifth in sacks among DTs. Wide receiver CeeDee Lamb also receives an A after a 195‑yard, touchdown game against Indianapolis, despite a recent slump. Left tackle Tyler Guyton (A‑) and rookie cornerback Joey Porter Jr. (A‑) impress, though Porter’s health remains a concern. The Cowboys aim to rebound against the 49ers as the postseason race tightens.

Linebacker Jaden Dugger’s versatile snap usage, including a pick‑six, proves his value despite rookie status. New defensive tackle DeForest Buckner logs 34 of 50 snaps, instantly becoming a key interior force after the Gracen Halton injury.

These insights set the tone for San Francisco’s second‑half push, especially ahead of the Dallas Cowboys clash.

The Dallas Cowboys left the 2026 NFL trade deadline idle, keeping a 4-5 roster despite a porous defense that ranks 25th in points allowed (26.2 per game). Coach Brian Schottenheimer cites confidence in the squad, but analysts argue the biggest error was not securing an affordable edge rusher. With only 17 sacks in nine games, veterans like Rashan Gary and Von Miller have underperformed, and the recent trade for cornerback Joey Porter Jr. hasn't fixed the pass‑rush woes. Potential targets such as Josh Uche were explored but never materialized, leaving Jerry Jones with the same defensive shortcomings that threaten playoff hopes.

The 49ers are set to face the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday at 4:25 p.m. ET, and wide receiver De Deebo Samuel is back in practice after a right hamstring strain, according to NFL insider David Lombardi.

The Yankees are rumored to be interested in Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seaver, despite the veteran’s recent injury‑limited seasons. Insider Jon Heyman suggests New York could shift Seaver to third base, potentially moving George Lombard Jr. to short for a year. At 32, Seaver has played only 102 games each of the past two years, so a move to third could reduce his defensive workload and address New York’s need at the hot corner. Any deal would have to navigate Seaver’s no‑trade clause and ongoing Rangers‑Yankees talks.

Additional ankle setbacks involve Donovan Ezeiruaku, Jake Ferguson and Jonathan Mingo. Ribs limit KaVontae Turpin.
