Cowboys stay busy, Parsons blasts Daniels — NFC East roundup

There were no games on the schedule for the NFC East on Tuesday, but it was still an active day off the field for the Dallas Cowboys and a noisy one for the Washington Commanders after their overtime finish against the New York Giants.

Cowboys: roster tweaks and buyer buzz

Pro Football Rumors reports that the Dallas Cowboys signed guard Nick Leverett to their practice squad. The same outlet notes that Dallas also added running back Emari Demercado in a separate minor transaction. The moves come with the Cowboys sitting at 2-3 and clearly looking to adjust their offensive depth.

On the prediction front, CBS Sports’ Pete Prisco has the Green Bay Packers beating Dallas on “Sunday Night Football” in Week 6. In contrast, fellow CBS Sports writer John Breech predicts the Cowboys will instead stun the Packers. CBS Sports also identifies Dallas as a potential buyer as the NFL trade deadline approaches, suggesting the front office is not backing away from this season despite the uneven 2-3 start.

Commanders, Giants: Parsons targets Jayden Daniels

CBS Sports relays that Cowboys star linebacker Micah Parsons ripped Washington Commanders rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels for an overtime blunder against the New York Giants. Parsons described the mistake as “disgusting” and said it cost head coach Dan Quinn his job, referring to Quinn as his former defensive coordinator in Dallas. Those are Parsons’ opinions as reported by CBS Sports; no further details on the overtime finish are given.

The Commanders remain 1-3 in the standings, trailing the 3-1 Giants, adding extra weight to Parsons’ public criticism of the young quarterback.

Eagles and Giants: projections and fallout

For the 2-3 Philadelphia Eagles, John Breech of CBS Sports is forecasting another loss in Week 6, though he does not specify the opponent or an exact score in the summary. The Giants themselves are not tied to any new personnel moves in these reports, but they stay in the spotlight because of that overtime game against Washington, which is still sparking reaction in Dallas and around the league.
