The Dallas Cowboys’ season is close to being written off. With a 3-6 record and facing their fourth and fifth consecutive winning teams over the next two weeks, nothing is expected to get better before it gets worse. There’s a realistic shot the team goes into Thanksgiving five games below .500. Last week, Dallas got a little bit of help back with the return of Micah Parsons.
Parsons was one of several players who were injured around the beginning of October who had been absent for a while. Though never put on the Reserved/Injured list, it was known his high ankle sprain would keep him out of the lineup for several weeks. Several other players went on IR around that time, and those players are becoming elegible to be activated this week or next.
DE DeMarcus Lawrence, who had a lisfranc injury in his foot, and WR Brandin Cooks, who had a procedure done on his knee, were technically eligible to have their 21-day practice windows activated last week. DE Marshawn Kneeland is eligible this week. Dallas has only won one game since the first two went out and none with all three missing.
Wednesday’s practice will be the first official tell. For now, here’s a review of the 53-man roster, 16-man practice squad and the full slate of players on IR.
