Last Tuesday, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones expressed his frustration when he criticized the hosts of 105.3 The Fan for inquiring about the team’s early-season struggles.

Just two days earlier, the Cowboys suffered a devastating 47-9 loss at home to the Detroit Lions, which left their record at 3-3 heading into their bye week.

As they prepare for Week 8, the Cowboys will face a struggling 3-4 San Francisco 49ers team, which recently lost to the Kansas City Chiefs by a significant margin.

On Monday, 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan shared concerning injury updates about his roster.

Wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk is out for the remainder of the season due to a tear in his ACL and MCL.

Additionally, wide receiver Deebo Samuel has been hospitalized with pneumonia-like symptoms, while running back Christian McCaffrey is not expected to play against the Cowboys.

Tight end George Kittle is also dealing with a sprained foot.

These injuries present a considerable advantage for the Cowboys as they head into Week 8.

Although Dallas is also facing its own injury challenges, the status of star pass rusher Micah Parsons remains uncertain as of Monday.

Fans on X (formerly Twitter) have voiced their opinions, suggesting that the Cowboys should have no excuses if they fail to win against the 49ers.

One fan posted,“The Cowboys better show up this week vs the 49ers. No Deebo, no Aiyuk, no McCaffrey, no excuses…”

Another fan expressed concern for Deebo’s health, saying, “Pneumonia is serious, especially with fluid in his lungs.

However, if the Cowboys can’t win against a team missing Aiyuk, McCaffrey, Deebo, Kittle, Jennings, and possibly Trent Williams (if he’s suspended), they never will.”

Another fan remarked, “With no Deebo, CMC, Aiyuk, and maybe Kittle on Sunday, maybe the Cowboys will only lose by 20 instead of 40.”

One user, who admitted they’re not a fan of Jerry, McCarthy, or the Cowboys, commented, “Give me Dallas +5.5.

The Cowboys off a bye and a tough loss—it seems like too many points given what the 49ers are currently dealing with.”

Lastly, another fan noted,“The Cowboys won’t be fully healthy on Sunday night, but that shouldn’t be an excuse if they still get blown out by the 49ers.”

With so many injuries affecting the 49ers, the Cowboys are poised for a potential break in what could be a pivotal game for both teams.
