After playing at a very high level for almost his entire career, the injury bug finally got a hold of DeMarcus Ware. The OLB/DE was seemingly indestructible coming into this year. The Cowboys have played the majority of the season without their leader and perennial All-Pro. The Cowboys are being slow with Ware and are hoping to get him back on the field soon.
Running back DeMarco Murray is spending yet another extended stay on the injured list. When healthy, Murray can be one of the most dynamic running backs in the league. Unfortunately, Cowboy fans rarely get to see the former Oklahoma Sooner for any extended period of time. Murray is a vital part of the offense, but for him, his health is always hindering his productivity
Jason Witten is easily one of the top five tight ends in football when he is playing at the top of his game. Whether it's the emergence of Terrence Williams or the fact that Dez Bryant has been playing out of his mind, Witten has lost some of his luster. Hopefully Witten can turn his production around as the Cowboys inch closer to the playoffs.
It's almost unfair for Brandon Carr to be on this list, but being the highest-paid defensive back combined with routinely being beaten by defenders is becoming something of a habit. Carr can be one of the better defensive backs in the league when his game is on point, however.
There's no way Brandon Carr could be the only person on this list. The Cowboys' defense as a whole has been struggling this year. Ranking near the bottom at almost every passing statistic, offenses have routinely had career days against the Cowboys' defense. Monte Kiffin's vaunted Cover-2 defense has not yielded the type of results Cowboy fans expected.
