**Detroit Lions May Face Weakened Cowboys Squad in Week 6**

The Detroit Lions might catch a break in Week 6 as they prepare to face a potentially injury-riddled Dallas Cowboys team at AT&T Stadium. Recent reports indicate significant concerns for Dallas, which could impact their lineup and performance.

According to ESPN, the Cowboys will be missing wide receiver Brandin Cooks for at least this week against Pittsburgh, possibly extending longer. Cooks developed an infection in his right knee, following a medical procedure he underwent in New York after their victory over the Giants. This absence creates a void in the Cowboys’ offense that the Lions' defense might exploit.

Adding to the Cowboys’ woes are injuries plaguing their defensive line. Star defenders Micah Parsons and DeMarcus Lawrence are also on the mend. Parsons, suffering from an ankle injury, remains uncertain for the upcoming games. Meanwhile, Lawrence has been officially placed on injured reserve due to a foot sprain, sidelining a key defensive player that could have troubled Detroit’s offensive strategies.

With these developments, Detroit's offense, enjoying a positive momentum, could seize the opportunity to capitalize on Dallas' weakened state. The injuries present the Lions a chance to enhance their season's standing against a Cowboys team struggling to maintain its form.
