The Cowboys are coming out of their bye week with newfound health, but not all is right heading to Vegas.
The Dallas Cowboys have completed their week of practice ahead of their return from the bye wek. Dallas hasn’t been on the field since a Week 9 home date to the Arizona Cardinals, a disappointing performance that put their season on the brink. Now with a 3-5-1 record, the Cowboys are likely in need of reeling off at least six wins, probably seven, in their final eight games in order to make it to the playoffs.
With a daunting schedule, the club needs all hands on deck and fortunately this week will see them get their two starters back in the lineup at an injury-ravaged safety position. The team is also getting season debuts from DeMarvion Overshown and rookie corner Shavon Revel in addition to seeing Donovan Wilson and Malik Hooker’s return. That makes four key defenders returning from injury to augment the trade deadline acquisitions of DT Quinnen Williams and LB Logan Wilson.
Dallas lost safety Juanyeh Thomas to IR this week, so he’s not listed on the weekly report.
Meanwhile, the Raiders side of things appear to be relatively healthy, with one major exception. The team moved guard Jackson Powers-Johnson to IR, and he’s considered the club’s best lineman.
Here’s a look at all of the injury designations following Saturday’s practice.
