And as the Dallas Cowboys head to Denver this weekend to take on the Broncos. The Cowboys are relatively healthy but will be without linebacker Anthony Hitchens with cornerback, Orlando Scandrick, questionable as well.  The Broncos could be without starting right guard and former Dallas Cowboy, Ronald Leary after he left Monday’s game against the Chargers with a concussion. Leary spent five years with the Cowboys before signing a four-year $35 million dollar contract with Denver in the off-season.
