FRISCO, Texas -- Dez Bryant should be ready to return from a knee injury when Dallas comes back from the bye for a key game against Philadelphia in the suddenly difficult NFC East.When the Eagles visit on Oct. 30, the Cowboys will be that much closer to having to decide whether Tony Romo gets his job back from Dak Prescott, the rookie quarterback with a five-game winning streak.Of course, Dallas has this touchy subject because of a surge to the second-best record in the NFC entirely without Romo, sidelined by a preseason back injury, and minus 2014 All-Pro receiver Bryant for three games.And, yes, coach Jason Garrett considers it a touchy subject.Does this microphone work? a somewhat exasperated Garrett asked Monday when hed had enough of the questions about Romo, prompting laughter as reporters got the hint.The Cowboys (5-1) are winning the same way they did in 2014, when they also dropped the season opener at home and won the next six on the way to the NFC East title at 12-4. Dallas is getting efficient play at quarterback and dominating the running game, which is helping an opportunistic defense.But instead of Romo and 2014 NFL rushing champion DeMarco Murray, its a pair of rookies in Prescott and league rushing leader Ezekiel Elliott. And a team with plenty of other young players has back-to-back wins over perennial playoff teams in Cincinnati and Green Bay.Im surprised that were playing as well as weve played, owner Jerry Jones said after a 30-16 win over the Packers , just the second ever for Dallas in Green Bay. We just want to keep this thing going forward, knowing in the NFL that the wheels could come off at any minute.If the wheels dont come off, Garrett will eventually have to answer questions about Romo vs. Prescott.Garrett said he didnt anticipate the 36-year-old Romo for the only practice this week on Wednesday, which means the earliest Dallas 10-year starter could practice would be four days before the Philadelphia game. In that case, the Nov. 6 visit to Cleveland is a more likely potential return date.If the Cowboys beat the Eagles and another standout rookie quarterback, Carson Wentz, the pro-Prescott chorus will grow.Since Friday, that chorus has grown to include four prominent names in Cowboys lore: Hall of Fame quarterbacks Roger Staubach and Troy Aikman, all-time NFL rushing leader Emmitt Smith and two-time Super Bowl-winning coach Jimmy Johnson.The reasoning is mostly the same from each: In the NFL, you dont mess with momentum.Id hate to end up here with two winning quarterbacks and a tough decision as to who is going to win the game, Jones said with a wink. I think what we do is enjoy how were seeing Dak progress. I have comfort in the fact that every time Romo throws a football its got more velocity on it. Thats a good spot to be in.Bryant returned to practice last week and wanted to play against the Packers, but doctors ruled otherwise.Assuming he returns against the Eagles, it will be five weeks since he sustained a hairline fracture in a bone in his right knee against Chicago. Bryant returned to the game after getting hurt and had his only touchdown of the season.Garrett happily addressed questions about Bryant. Romo, not so much.We dont deal a whole lot in hypotheticals, Garrett said. What we try to do is we try to focus on whats in front of us right now and do the best job we can as players and coaches. Tony has done a really good job with his rehab, and hes getting better and better every day.The question wont be hypothetical much longer.---Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Schuyler Dixon on Twitter at https://twitter.com/apschuyler David Bakhtiari Super Bowl Jersey .

Fans in Oakland will have to wait a few more months before Kevin Durant gets a win over a Minnesota team.In the meantime, they will look to enjoy another victory by the Oakland Athletics victory over the Minnesota Twins.Oakland will try to remain unbeaten against Minnesota Tuesday night when the teams continue a three-game series at Target Field.The Athletics have won all four meetings this season and the latest victory occurred Monday afternoon while the news of Durant signing as a free agent with the Golden State Warriors took center stage.In Mondays 3-1 victory, the As did not get anyone past first base for six innings and then scored three in the seventh. Stephen Vogt delivered an RBI single and Coco Crisp added a two-run single that extended his hitting streak to 11 games.Crisp is batting .370 (17-for-46) during this streak and has eight walks, 12 runs scored, two homers and 14 RBI.If Oakland has a close lead late Tuesday, theres a good chance Ryan Dull would be entrusted with protecting it.After Oakland scored its runs Monday, Dull stranded a pair of runners in the bottom of the seventh and has stranded 36 inherited runners this season, the longest streak to being a season since 1961.(Its) extremely significant, As manager Bob Melvin said. I dont know that there is (a stat) more significant. Guys are coming in the games to pick up someone elses base runners, thats the most significant stat. I know in our clubhouse, theres a lot of respect for what hes doing, certainly the pitchers.Hes my favorite player on the team, Oakland third baseman Danny Valencia said. He just shows up every day and does his job.Similar to the laast time they played the Athletics, the Twins were unable to follow up a successful weekend against a winning team.ddddddddddddMinnesota followed up a three-game sweep in Seattle by scoring seven runs in three losses at Oakland May 30-June 1.On Monday, Minnesota was even less productive. The Twins were held to four hits, went 0-for-8 with runners in scoring position and were held to three runs or less for the 35th time.Its just one of those days where one little hiccup was enough to change the outcome of the game, Twins manager Paul Molitor said.After getting 6 2/3 effective innings from Kendall Graveman, the Athletics will turn to Sean Manaea, who will make his second start since being activated from the disabled list Wednesday. Manaea returned from his two-week absence and allowed six hits in 5 2/3 innings of a 7-1 win over the San Francisco Giants.The left-hander began his career by going 0-1 with an 11.37 ERA and .382 opposing average in his first three starts. Since then, he is 3-3 with a 3.61 ERA in his last seven outings.One of Manaeas three career wins was June 1 against Minnesota, when he allowed one run and five hits in six innings of a 5-1 win.Tommy Milone will make his seventh start and third since returning from Triple-A Rochester June 18. Milone took a loss in New York June 18 and last week allowed five runs and nine hits over 3 1/3 innings during a no-decision at Chicago.Milones lone start against Oakland was July 19, 2015, when he allowed seven runs (five earned) in 2 2/3 innings.
