Nov. 7
4:45 p.m. - For the second straight day, Zack Martin was listed as "did not participate" on the Cowobys' injury report, raising some concern about his chances of playing this weekend against the Eagles.
Martin has been nursing a shoulder injury, but has started all eight games this year. If he can't play, the team will likely turn to T.J. Bass or Brock Hoffman to replace him at right guard.
Martin is one of five players listed as DNP on the injury report.
----------------
12:03 p.m. - The Cowboys have yet to place Dak Prescott on injured reserve, which would sideline him for at least four games this season.
On Thursday, two days after owner/GM Jerry Jones said it's likely Dak would go to IR, head coach Mike McCarthy said the team is still "going through the process" to evaluate all of the medical opinions regarding Dak's hamstring injury.
"I know he wants to keep playing," McCarthy said, regarding Dak wanting to return at some point this season.
----------------
11:52 a.m. - CeeDee Lamb did more in practice than the Cowboys even anticipated on Wednesday, according to head coach Mike McCarthy.
That's a good sign for Lamb's chances of playing this week against the Eagles.
He was listed as limited on the injury report Wednesday, but could be a full participant, although the Cowboys will remain cautious with their leading receiver.
Lamb suffered an injury to his AC joint on his right shoulder during the Falcons game last Sunday, but returned later in the game to catch a two-point conversion in the final minutes.

Nov. 6
4:10 p.m. - After being a game-time decision but still playing last week, Trevon Diggs is still on the injury report with a calf injury that has bothered him for several weeks.
Diggs was limited in practice on Wednesday, which is a step up from last week when he didn't practice all week but still played against the Falcons.
Diggs was one of four players limited, including Tyler Guyton, CeeDee Lamb and Micah Parsons.
Check out the full injury report for Cowboys/Eagles.
----------------
11:40 a.m. - There's good news to report on Micah Parsons heading into the Week 10 matchup between the Cowboys and the Eagles.
The all-world pass rusher will return to team practice for the first time since suffering a high ankle sprain several weeks ago, albeit in a limited capacity, per head coach Mike McCarthy on Wednesday.
"The plan is for Micah to practice today, in a limited fashion," he said of the All-Pro. "It'll be in a limited fashion, but he's looking good and he's confident. We'll see how today goes. He'll be on a rep count."
Parsons, should he return against the Eagles, will be looked upon to inject electricity into a struggling Cowboys' pass rush.
----------------
11:35 a.m. - CeeDee Lamb (shoulder) appears to continue to be on track to play on Sunday against the Eagles, but the Cowboys are taking a cautious approach to make sure he's as healthy as possible.
"We'll be really smart with him," Mike McCarthy said of Lamb's practice situation. "He'll go through walkthroughs… he won't do much on the field today."
____
11:30 a.m. - It doesn't appear Bland is trending toward making a return against the Eagles on Sunday afternoon.
The All-Pro cornerback and reigning NFL interceptions leader (2023) continues to rehab from a stress fracture found in his foot before the start of the 2024 season.
"He will work [trainer Britt Brown] today," said head coach Mike McCarthy. "He's still in the rehab group."
Bland was activated from injured reserve to the 53-man roster last week, but must still be medically cleared to take the field.

12:20 p.m. - With the NFL trade deadline nearing, the Cowboys opted to begin their Tuesday by trading for wide receiver Jonathan Mingo in a deal struck with the Carolina Panthers.
That required a corresponding move to make room for the new addition, and that came at the expense of cornerback Andrew Booth.
Booth, who was acquired via trade with the Minnesota Vikings in training camp, has been released and is officially a free agent going forward.
He leaves the Cowboys having produced six combined tackles in three games played.

Nov. 5
9:21 a.m. - The Cowboys are closing in on a trade to add Panthers wide receiver Jonathan Mingo from the Panthers.
According to multiple reports, including NFL.com, the Cowboys are sending a 2025 fourth-round pick to Carolina in exchange for Mingo and a seventh-round pick in 2025.
The NFL trade deadline is Tuesday at 3 p.m. (CT). Cowboys owner/GM Jerry Jones said on Tuesday on his 105.3 "The Fan" radio segment that the team would likely be adding a receiver they coveted in college.
Mingo was the 39th overall pick in the 2023 NFL draft, and in 24 career games has caught 55 passes for 539 yards and has yet to score his first career touchdown. The 6'2, 220 pound wideout gives the Cowboys a big target that still has two years remaining on his rookie contract after the 2024 season, and Mingo gets a fresh start to his career in Dallas.

McCarthy updates status of Elliott, Lamb
-
4:10 p.m. - There is some optimism about CeeDee Lamb's availability to play Sunday against the Eagles.
The wide receiver suffered a shoulder injury on Sunday in Atlanta. His MRI scans have not come back just yet according to head coach Mike McCarthy.
"He's going to have more testing tomorrow, so we'll know tomorrow," McCarthy said. "I don't see him not playing, but that's why you do the testing."
Lamb left for a few plays late in Sunday's loss, but re-entered as the Cowboys pushed down the field to make it a one-score ballgame late against the Falcons. He was in noticeable pain throughout the course of the day.
------------------
3:53 p.m. - Mike McCarthy said in his Monday press conference that Ezekiel Elliott will be available for the Cowboys on Sunday against the Eagles after he and the team mutually decided to have him not travel to Atlanta.
"Zeke will be available, he went through everything today," McCarthy said. "But we did not have a sit-down today."
McCarthy added the decision was a "team discipline" one, and that he respected the mutual choice to make Elliott inactive on Sunday.
------------------
12:23 p.m. - Cowboys EVP Stephen Jones said on 105.3 The Fan Monday afternoon that Dak Prescott (hamstring) and CeeDee Lamb (shoulder) will be get MRIs done following the Cowboys' loss to Atlanta.
"We'll certainly make a solid decision based on what comes back. … We're in the progress of evaluating right now, and I wouldn't be able to comment," Jones said of Prescott's injury, which kept him out of the fourth quarter of Sunday's game.
Lamb was able to return to the game and stayed on the field in the closing minutes battling the pain, which Jones attributed to his grit and determination to try to help his team win.
"I think he's that type of player. … No one wants to not be out there doing something about the struggles we're having right now, and CeeDee is at the front of the line," Jones said.
------------------
Nov. 3
6:32 p.m. – Fighting through a shoulder injury for more than half of the game, CeeDee Lamb was able to come back in the final minute to catch a 2-point conversion.
Cowboys owner/GM Jerry Jones said he was not concerned with Lamb's injury long-term and sounded optimistic he could be ready to play even next week. Early diagnosis on the injury is a sprain in the AC joint.
Lamb came down hard on his right shoulder during a second-quarter catch. He stayed in the game but then re-injured it diving for a deep ball in the end zone in the fourth quarter.
After exiting on the next drive, Lamb was able to get back in the game.
Overall, he had eight catches for 47 yards and two carries for 15 yards.
------------------
6:13 p.m. – As a runner, Dowdle carried the load for 75 yards, getting the bulk of the snaps as the lead tailback.
Dowdle actually made his biggest play of the game as a receiver, getting a drop and a touchdown on the same play. Dowdle said he was upset with himself for not catching a pass from Dak in the end zone, but "stayed with it" to catch a deflection for the score.
It's Dowdle's third touchdown reception of the season.
------------------
6:08 p.m. – The Cowboys certainly miss their starting pass-rushers in Micah Parsons and DeMarcus Lawrence, but Carl Lawson had the best game of his season with two sacks against the Falcons on Sunday.
The first sack also forced a fumble and a turnover. He later got a sack before halftime, giving him his first multi-sack game since the 2020 season when he played for the Bengals.
------------------
5:59 p.m. – Despite not entering the game until the fourth quarter, Rush actually led the team in passing attempts with 25.
He just edged out the 24 passes by Dak Prescott, who left the game with a hamstring injury.
Rush was able to complete 13 attempts for 115 yards and a touchdown (77.9 QB rating).
The touchdown pass to Jalen Tolbert was Rush's first of the season
------------------
5:14 p.m. – The safety left the game in the third quarter after being injured on a kickoff return.
Thomas was taken straight to the locker room and was evaluated for a concussion. He did not return in the game.
------------------
2:20 p.m. - Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott was ruled out for the remainder of the game with a hamstring injury with 11:08 left to play in the game against the Atlanta Falcons.
Prescott completed 18 of his 24 passes for 133 yards and touchdown, along with a season-high 30 yards on three carries after calls for him to use his legs more earlier in the week.
Prescott was replaced by Cooper Rush in the fourth quarter for the Cowboys.
------------
11:30 a.m. - After a bit of a scare this past week, Trevon Diggs will take the field for the Cowboys against the Falcons — having been held out of practice due to a tear in his calf.
The First-Team All-Pro cornerback will be joined by the return of rookie fifth-round pick Caelen Carson, after the latter missed the last several games due to a shoulder injury.
The Cowboys continue to be without their other First-Team All-Pro cornerback, DaRon Bland, however.
Those who have been ruled inactive against Atlanta include Bland, Ezekiel Elliott, Micah Parsons, Matt Waletzko, Andrew Booth, KJ Henry and Trey Lance (emergency QB).
------------
Nov. 2
12:30 p.m. - For the second time in as many weeks, the ĂŰĚŇTV have elevated Dalvin Cook from the practice squad as they continue their work in determining what works for the running backs' rotation.
Cook garnered a handful of reps in the loss against the San Francisco 49ers, in a contest that saw Rico Dowdle inactive due to a last-minute illness.
Josh Butler has been elevated to aid in depth at the cornerback position, mostly in the event All-Pro defensive back Trevon Diggs is unable to play, being a gametime decision at the moment; and Butler also offers value on special teams as well.
The Cowboys welcome back Caelen Carson to the mix this week, the rookie having missed the last several games with a shoulder injury.
------------
Nov. 1
2:45 p.m. - There's finally some good news on the injury front in Dallas, as the Cowboys welcome back Caelen Carson to the gameday roster — the rookie cornerback having been medically cleared this week to take the field against the Atlanta Falcons.
Carson has been sidelined with a shoulder injury since suffering it against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 3, missing the subsequent four games because of it; and that put an added dent in the depth chart at the position when also factoring in the prolonged absence of DaRon Bland.
Bland was moved to the active 53-man roster on Wednesday but is still not cleared for action and has been ruled out this week, alongside Micah Parsons. Neither of the two All-Pro players practiced this week, and the wait continues for them both.
Jordan Phillips was also ruled out and remains on injured reserve at this time, unable to participate in games until he's removed from IR, regardless of how well he practices, and the Cowboys have until Nov. 13 to make a decision on his remaining status for 2024.
------------
Oct. 31
3:35 p.m. - The Cowboys have plenty of defensive players not practicing on Thursday but at least middle linebacker Eric Kendricks was listed as "limited" for the second straight day on the injury report.
Kendricks, the Cowboys' leading tackler with 61 stops this year, played last week despite a shoulder injury. He is expected to line up again Sunday in Atlanta.
Whether he will have the likes of Trevon Diggs (calf), DaRon Bland (foot) and Micah Parsons (ankle) remains to be seen. But all three were held out of practice Thursday.
------------
11:34 a.m. - Mike McCarthy provided several injury updates during his Thursday media availability, including Trevon Diggs, the newest addition to the injury report on Wednesday not participating in practice with a calf injury.
"He'll probably start off with the rehab group today, I don't see him practicing." McCarthy said of Diggs' status on Thursday.
McCarthy added that Micah Parsons will be with the rehab group again on Thursday, and that the plan for DaRon Bland is to return to practice today, but that it'll depend on how his warmup goes.
------------
Oct. 30
3:21 p.m. - On the day the Cowboys activated DaRon Bland from injured reserve, with hopes he could possibly play this week in Atlanta, the team's other starting cornerback was absent from practice as well.
Trevon Diggs is dealing with a nagging calf injury and was held out of practice, the team announced in Wednesday's injury report.
Diggs sounded confident he would be able to play through the injury again this week when facing the Falcons.
------------
3:19 p.m. - The veteran guard has been battling injuries all season and the latest is a shoulder injury that caused him to miss Wednesday's practice.
Martin has played every game this season, but did miss some time in the Steelers game due to leg camps. He was on the injury report before the Lions game with a back injury but continued to play.
------------
3:01 p.m. - Kicker Brandon Aubrey continues to miss practice due to his jury-duty obligations.
Aubrey was out on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday last week but still traveled to San Francisco with the team. Aubrey is expected to play this week against the Falcons as well.
This year, he's been one of the most consistent kickers in the NFL, making 18 of 20 field goals, including 8-of-9 from 50+ yards. Aubrey's NFL record streak of eight straight games - dating back to last season - of at least one 50-yard field goal ended last week against the 49ers.
------------
12:08 p.m. - The ĂŰĚŇTV placed Amani Oruwariye on injured reserve after sustaining an injury against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday.
Oruwariye took a knee to the back late in the third quarter of Sunday night's game, was announced as questionable to return but did not end up returning for the Cowboys.
Oruwariye's addition to the active roster was the corresponding move for the Cowboys activating Pro Bowl corner DaRon Bland, who was at the end of his 21-day practice window after it opened on Oct. 9.
