The Cowboys injury report for Friday
The Dallas Cowboys play the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on the Sunday before Christmas. For both teams this week, the injury report has been as long as a list for Santa. After Friday, both teams appear to be better, but some questions linger. In the final injury report, here’s what we can expect regarding who might play this Sunday.
To win, the Cowboys must lean on the running game and CeeDee Lamb. Luckily for Dallas Lamb (shoulder), Rico Dowdle (knee), Cooper Beebe (concussion), and Tyler Smith (ankle) practiced in a full capacity on Friday. All have been removed from the injury report, carry no injury designation heading into Sunday night’s game, and have a relatively clean bill of health. Chuma Edoga (ankle) and Mazi Smith (back) were also upgraded to full participants Friday have no injury designation as well.
Micah Parsons was added to the report with an illness and did not practice Friday. He is questionable. T.J. Bass (thigh) was downgraded to a DNP today, leaving his status for Sunday ambiguous. He has been ruled as questionable. Linebackers Eric Kendricks (NIR-Rest, calf) and Nick Vigil (foot) did practice but in limited fashion. they are still listed as questionable. Jalen Brooks has been ruled out with a knee injury.
The Buccaneers had a lengthy injury report yesterday. Baker Mayfield (knee) will play Sunday. Antoine Winfield Jr. (knee) has been ruled out and Cade Otton (knee) is listed as doubtful. Offensive tackle Tristan Wirfs (foot/knee) was limited Friday and has been removed from the injury report. Meanwhile, Bucky Irving (back and hip) upgraded to a full participant Friday and is expected to play.
