The Green Bay Packers injury report is normally not anything to be believed. According to their fans on social media, a running joke is that the club will put everyone they possibly can on the injury report, only for a small percentage of them to actually be ailing once the game comes around.
In Week 1, they ended up with seven questionable designations, but only two of those were inactive vs the Detroit Lions. Things were a bit more honest in Week 2, when three of the five questionables (plus two ruled out) missed the game against the Washington Commanders. Week 3 saw just two players marked questionable, but both were in the starting lineup.

So when Wednesday’s practice concluded and the Packers had a whopping 14 names listed on their practice report, it’s a confusing time to know who exactly the Dallas Cowboys should prepare for.
The two things that seems to be clear is that Micah Parsons is going to be listed every week with his back ailment, but will play, and that RT Zach Tom is actually going to miss Sunday night’s game. The standout OL re-injured his oblique strain last week against the Cleveland Browns and is already being ruled out.
On the Cowboys side, there’s a bit of good news after they had their own bad-news Sunday. The club hasn’t made a roster move associated with either WR CeeDee Lamb or RG Tyler Booker’s high ankle sprains, but both are already ruled out for Sunday. And while the team was without Trevon Diggs on Wednesday, fellow starting corner DaRon Bland returned to practice on Wednesday, with hope he’ll return to the field for Sunday night.
Dallas’ pass defense has crated since the newly-extended All-Pro went out with a foot injury suffered in practice after the Week 1 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.
