DALLAS COWBOYS (2-3, 2-0 NFC EAST)

Week 6: BYE
Streak: Lost 3
Next: @ Giants

• Over the bye week, the Cowboys made the decision to replace Brandon Weeden with Matt Cassel as the team's starting quarterback while Tony Romo remains out with a broken collarbone.

"We decided to do this and spoke to both of the players," coach Jason Garrett said. "There are a lot of different reasons you make a decision like this. You evaluate the quarterback and what we're asking them to do on a daily basis and weekly basis. Also at this position, you look at how the offense is performing and this position has an impact on the entire offensive unit. It certainly has an impact on how the team is performing. Sometimes it's fair and sometimes it's unfair, but it's the nature of the position."

• Meanwhile, the Cowboys will await the status of All-Pro wide receiver Dez Bryant, who broke his foot in Week 1 against the Giants and had to undergo surgery.

"It totally depends on how he's doing," owner/general manager Jerry Jones said Tuesday morning. "He had a good end of the week last week, got in some really good work, didn't have much negative response from that work. It was strenuous work – the kind that, if he can step out here and have a couple of really good days of practice, you could see him on go."

• Defensive linemen Greg Hardy, DeMarcus Lawrence, Randy Gregory, Tyrone Crawford and Jeremy Mincey are all expected to play together on Sunday for the first time this year, according to DallasCowboys.com.

WASHINGTON REDSKINS (2-4, 1-1 NFC EAST)
