Kris Richard's impact on the Cowboys' defense has been evident early on, and on Wednesday coordinator Rod Marinelli said Richard has handled some of the play-calling responsibilities in the first two games. The Cowboys are allowing just 274 yards per game and given up only 29 points, their fewest in the first two games of a season since 1996. “The thing I've always believed in and it's one of our standards here is it's about the team,” Marinelli said. “The team to me is everything. Every decision you make is how you get the team better. Some of the things he can do he makes us better. So I'm really glued to that."

Cowboys linebacker Sean Lee said he plans on playing Sunday at Seattle after going through a limited portion of Thursday's practice with a hamstring injury. Lee, who was hurt late in the win against the New York Giants, did not practice on Wednesday. The Cowboys feel like they are better protected at linebacker this year if something were to happen to Lee with first-round pick Leighton Vander Esch and veteran Joe Thomas.

Sean Lee went through resistance training during the portion of practice that was open to the media as he works through hamstring tightness. He went through some individual drills as well. Jason Garrett said they hope Lee would be able to do something in practice after not participating in Wednesday's work.

Defensive end Randy Gregory went through his first full practice since suffering a concussion in the season opener at Carolina. Gregory was limited in one practice last week and did not play against the New York Giants. Safety Xavier Woods practiced for the first time this season because of a hamstring injury and was limited. He said after practice he took his normal reps and felt fine. “Whatever coach Richard wants, that's how it's going to go,” Woods said.

Officially, Sean Lee did not practice because of a hamstring injury suffered late in the win against the New York Giants. Lee went through the early portion of practice that was open to the media. After the Giants' game, Lee said he felt he would be able to play against Seattle and the cramping was unrelated to the issues that caused him to miss five games last season.

Jason Garrett said he anticipates Sean Lee "doing something" at practice Wednesday after a hamstring issue cropped up late in the win against the New York Giants. Datone Jones (knee), Randy Gregory (concussion) and Xavier Woods (hamstring) will also be available for practice but Maliek Collins (knee) will not practice.

Brice Butler said he was first contacted about a return to the Cowboys the day after the season-opening loss to Carolina while he was shopping for fans for his new house in Arizona. Two teams scheduled workouts with him last week but he wanted to return to the Cowboys. He said he has not had any discussions about a role in his return but the offense remains the same from when he played here from 2015-17. “If you've got an old girlfriend,” Butler said, “you know what she likes.”

To make room for Brice Butler, undrafted rookie safety Tyree Robinson has been waived, which is a sign the Cowboys believe starting safety Xavier Woods will be able to make his season debut Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks. Woods missed the first two games with a hamstring injury suffered in the preseason.

Cowboys bring back Butler as 7th wide receiver

Brice Butler, who spent parts of three seasons with Dallas, signed with the Cowboys on Tuesday. Coach Jason Garrett said adding a seventh wide receiver was "just to be deeper there. If he's available, he's someone we like."

Dak Prescott isn't ready to predict an 11-game winning streak, but he sees parallels to the Cowboys' 2016 start with a loss in the opener and a win in Week 2, like the Cowboys have done in 2018. “From the vibe of this team, it feels a lot like the 2016 team,” Prescott said after filming a Campbell's Chunky Soup spot with the football team at Frisco, Texas' Lone Star High School. “Just that chemistry, that the guys want to be around each other, guys hanging out in the locker room, going to dinner with each other. We have a team that has each other's back and when you have each other's back and stick together the way we are, we've got a chance to do what we want.”

Defensive tackle Maliek Collins suffered an MCL sprain late in Sunday's win against the New York Giants. He could be available Sunday against Seattle but more will be known as the week develops.

Through two games, the Cowboys have allowed 29 points. The last time they gave up that few in their first two games of the season came in 1996 when they lost 22-6 in the opener to Chicago and shut out the New York Giants, 27-0, in Week 2.

Among the players working out for the Cowboys today at The Star are wide receiver Brice Butler, who spent parts of three seasons in Dallas, and quarterback Landry Jones, who was among the final cuts of the Pittsburgh Steelers, according to sources. He was a fourth-round pick in 2013 and has eight touchdown passes and seven interceptions in 19 games (five starts).

Cowboys' Prescott rises to 'challenge' vs. Giants

Dak Prescott avoided mistakes in the Cowboys' win over the Giants, going without an interception and was not sacked, days after Giants safety Landon Collins said their plan was to take Ezekiel Elliott out of the game in order to pressure Prescott.

Jerry Jones knows how big the Cowboys' 20-13 win against the Giants was even if it was Week 2. Jones knew the Cowboys had to avoid an 0-2 start. "It was on the line tonight," the owner and general manager said. "This was a big game for us. Not any more for (Dak Prescott) but it was on the line tonight."
