It&#8217;s time to officially turn the page to Week 15 of the NFL regular season, with things set to get underway in a matter of hours. Of course, Cowboys fans will have to wait until Sunday night to see the team hit the field against the Minnesota Vikings.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-1\">While the team waits until Sunday Night Football to keep its playoff hopes alive, preparations began to ramp up on Wednesday afternoon when the Cowboys returned to practice.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-2\">The good news is there were no major absences from the open media session.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-4\">Still, the team is monitoring the health of star wide receiver CeeDee Lamb and cornerback Trevon Diggs, so we will have to see how things continue to develop in the coming days.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images2.minutemediacdn.com\/image\/upload\/c_crop,x_0,y_105,w_3931,h_3931\/c_fill,w_720,ar_1:1,f_auto,q_auto,g_auto\/images\/ImagnImages\/mmsport\/cowboys_country\/01kc6kygxzzvk1m5rs9w.jpg\" alt=\"Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb takes a knee before a game against the Minnesota Vikings \" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\">Both players seem to be trending in the right direction, but anything can change with a few more practices until gameday.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\">While we wait to see what the coming days bring, let&#8217;s take a spin around the web and check out some of the news and headlines making waves online and across social media.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 id=\"inline-text-10\">Identifying team&#8217;s biggest struggle<\/h2>\n<figure><figcaption><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images2.minutemediacdn.com\/image\/upload\/c_crop,x_895,y_0,w_3352,h_3352\/c_fill,w_720,ar_1:1,f_auto,q_auto,g_auto\/images\/ImagnImages\/mmsport\/cowboys_country\/01kc6m98w7ss26s6sr9v.jpg\" alt=\"Dallas Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer during the second half against the Detroit Lions at Ford Field\" \/><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"inline-text-12\">Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer spoke on the team&#8217;s biggest struggle this season, which has been slow starts on offense.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-13\">&#8220;I would agree, I didn&#8217;t think we had our best day overall,&#8221; Schotty said, via DallasCowboys.com. &#8220;Were we tired \u2014 I don&#8217;t know, maybe.
