Blogging The Boys
It’s Thursday night in Detroit and the clock is ticking down towards kickoff for a pivotal NFC clash between the Cowboys and Lions. Both teams desperately need a win tonight, and both teams are dealing with injuries. Now that we’ve got the inactives report, we have a better idea of who will be out there.
For the Cowboys, Jadeveon Clowney and Tyler Guyton are both inactive. Guyton didn’t practice all week, while Clowney made it back in time for Wednesday’s practice in a limited capacity, but the pass rusher won’t be able to play. In other news, Trevon Diggs had his practice window activated to return from the injured reserve, but after initial optimism he may suit up for this game, Diggs is going to have to wait another week.
Malik Hooker was the only other player listed as questionable heading into tonight, but he is active and good to go. That means Clowney and Guyton are joined on the inactives list by Jalen Tolbert, Jaydon Blue, Jay Toia, and Perrion Winfrey.
As for the Lions, their biggest question heading into this one was star receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown. Many believed he’d be unable to play in this game after suffering an injury last Thursday, but St. Brown is active and ready to play. Notably, tight end Brock Wright – pushed into a starting role after Sam LaPorta’s season-ending injury – was moved to the injured reserve earlier today.
