Impact: Colts trades change three matchups for Cowboys
Dallas Cowboys 27 Oct 2026, 22:30 GMT+ One of the best offensive linemen in the entire NFL is heading to a new home, and it impacts the Cowboys' schedule in two ways. The Indianapolis Colts have opted to trade all-world offensive guard Quenton Nelson to the defending champion Seattle Seahawks immediately following the conclusion of Week 7 around the league. Nelson, a six-time All-Pro and eight-time Pro Bowler, exits a Colts team that is slated to host the Cowboys in Week 9 at Lucas Oil Stadium. This presumably means, if Dallas can take advantage of the situation, that the Colts' offensive line has been massive weakened for All-Pro Quinnen Williams and three-time Pro Bowler Kenny Clark. Contrarily, however, Nelson heading to the Seahawks instantly makes things more difficult for the Cowboys when they head to the Pacific Northwest in Week 13.Getting to Sam Darnold won't be an easy task…
