Dallas is missing DeMarvion Overshown, Cobie Durant, P.J. Locke and Malik Hooker for Sunday's game against Baltimore in Rio, though the coaching staff says Durant and Locke are progressing in their rehab.

A visiting soccer goalkeeper's public criticism of the Maracanã playing surface prompted the NFL and Cowboys ownership to respond publicly this week, ahead of Dallas's first-ever game in Brazil.

Dallas (1-1) plays its first-ever game in Brazil Sunday against a Ravens team it hasn't beaten since 2016, with Baltimore's Derrick Henry (212 yards, 4 TDs through two games) the central challenge.

Dallas will be down four contributors for Sunday's game in Brazil, thinning its linebacker and secondary depth as it tries to build on a 1-1 start.

Sunday marks Prescott's first international start in 11 NFL seasons as Dallas opens a short, hotel-based prep week in Brazil.

Coach Brian Schottenheimer previewed Dallas's international game in Rio and gave rehab updates on Cobie Durant, P.J. Locke, Malik Hooker and DeMarvion Overshown.

The Cowboys owner said he's comfortable the Rio field will be game-ready and praised Dak Prescott after a franchise touchdown-passing record.

OL Tyler Smith had thumb surgery and was placed on injured reserve designated to return; RB Malik Davis was placed on season-ending IR.

Prescott threw four touchdown passes, breaking Tony Romo's franchise record, as Dallas beat Washington 37-20. CeeDee Lamb caught eight passes for 153 yards and two scores, and kicker Brandon Aubrey extended his own NFL record with a seventh career field goal of 60-plus yards.

Dallas picked up injuries to cornerback Cobie Durant, safety P.J. Locke and linebacker Jaishawn Barham during Sunday's win over Washington; head coach Brian Schottenheimer said the team would run additional testing this week.

Prescott's 249th career TD pass, to CeeDee Lamb, moved him past Romo for the franchise mark in a 37-20 win. Prescott went 26-of-31 for 279 yards, 4 TDs, 0 INTs; Lamb had 8 catches for 153 yards and 2 TDs. Dallas improved to 1-1.

A win over Baltimore in Dallas's historic Rio de Janeiro game would tie Prescott with Roger Staubach at 85 regular-season wins, en route to Aikman's franchise record. Prescott, on Staubach: "He's the epitome of what a Dallas Cowboys quarterback should be."

Prescott threw four touchdown passes in a 37-20 win over Washington to set the franchise record with career TD pass #249; he's now 10 regular-season wins behind Troy Aikman's franchise mark.

Dallas is the designated home team for the NFL's first regular-season game in Rio, part of a stretch of three games in 12 days that will test the team's depth.

Dallas already played the Commanders game without S Malik Hooker and LB DeMarvion Overshown, then lost two more defensive backs in-game, ahead of facing Baltimore's offense in Rio.

Dak Prescott threw for 279 yards and 4 touchdowns, his 249th career TD pass breaking Tony Romo's franchise record, as Dallas evened to 1-1. CeeDee Lamb had 153 receiving yards and 2 touchdowns.

S P.J. Locke (foot) and CB Cobie Durant (hamstring) both left Sunday's win without returning; rookie LB Jaishawn Barham started at middle linebacker for injured DeMarvion Overshown and forced a key fumble.
