Default Is it likely for o2 sensors to fail without tripping the Check Engine Light??

On my 99 A4 2.8 (30V) Tip (123k miles)., stalling when coming to a stop (see other thread for more).
So far:
TB cleaned.
Fuel pump relay changed.
Engine Temp. Sensor changed.
Fuel filter changed.
Got the car around 90k miles and don't know if o2 sensors have been changed at all. Is it possible that some or all are bad and not throwing any codes?
I'm at my wits end now about what to check next.
Thanks in advance for any help.
