We are already in week 11 of the NFL season, and the Dallas Cowboys injury list appears to be getting worse by the week.
This 2024 season will be one that we all want to forget. The Cowboys will have an additional day of rest before facing the Houston Texans on Monday night in the Battle for Texas.
This contest, however, lacks the feel that I’m sure those who planned the schedule before the year began wanted for.
The Dallas Cowboys have a staggering 18 players on the report 18!! This is turning into a hospital.
Out
CB DaRon Bland (Foot)
CB Jourdan Lewis (Neck)
FB Hunter Luepke (Calf)
It’s no surprise QB Dak Prescott will not be available for Monday. Prescott’s hamstring injury turned out to be more serious than any of us anticipated. The tendon partially detached itself from the bone, and Prescott had surgery this week to repair it.
CB DaRon Bland continues to struggle to return from a foot injury suffered in training camp. Cowboys Nation anxiously awaits the return of the All-Pro, but it will have to wait at least another week.
Lewis on the other hand popped up this week with an injury to his neck.
He has been one of the Cowboys’ most consistent & productive players in this 3-6 season, and will miss the Monday night game w/ a neck injury.
Everyone this team needs can’t seem to remain on the field, which is disappointing to witness.
Without Lewis or Bland, the Houston Texans will welcome back Nico Collins this week, and things will get ugly quickly.
Doubting
T Chuma Edoga (Toe)
WR CeeDee Lamb (Back)
G Zack Martin (Shoulder)
LB Nick Vigil (foot)
The Cowboys have a season-high 19 total players that are listed on the report, you can find that below, and right above, I’ve posted it in both spots.
CeeDee Lamb was on the report this week, but as you can see in the tweet below, head coach Mike McCarthy does not appear to be concerned about his playing tomorrow.
As for DeMarvion Overshown who avoided a major injury last week has been removed from the injury report and carries no injury designation.
Eric Kendricks and Tyler Guyton were both full participants on Saturday with shoulder injuries and good to go.
Tomorrow’s game is going to be ugly, and it might be ugly in a hurry!
The Houston Texans enter the Battle of Texas with a considerably healthier roster.
They are getting a bonus for bringing Nico Collins back, which may be significant for the Cowboys defense without Bland or Lewis.
Questionable
Kamari Lassiter (Concussion)
Jeff Okudah (Quad)
Both of these guys seem on track to play, which is good news for Houston, but bad news for Dallas.
OUT
Will Anderson (Ankle)
Folorunso Fatukasi (Foot)
Blake Fisher (Concussion)
I will be the first to tell you I have no idea who the middle guy is so I don’t think he would have had that much of an impact on the game anyway.
Will Anderson’s absence helps, but who am I kidding? Even if Nico Collins were out, Dallas would have no chance of winning this football game.
This team will battle as hard as they can, but they have set a record at home this season.
Being down by 20 for the most consecutive games at home, and with all of these extra injuries, just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse, it did.
I absolutely anticipate them to continue their losing run tomorrow night.
