Cowboys adjust field goal unit ahead of Week 5 matchup against Bucs
Summary

The Dallas Cowboys are making changes to their field goal unit ahead of the Week 5 meeting against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. After consecutive weeks of missed attempts, coach Brian Schottenheimer reported Terence Steele's missed assignment as a factor. Tyler Smith could make his season debut if he feels ready, while DeMarvion Overshown is expected to sit out another game. The Cowboys are also dealing with the potential impacts of Dak Prescott's hand injury. The Buccaneers, struggling with an 0-4 record, will keep Jalon Daniels as starting quarterback while adjusting their backfield without Antoine Winfield Jr. due to a fractured rib.
