Cowboys Face Commanders with Key Inactives
The Dallas Cowboys are gearing up to host the Washington Commanders in Week 7, a matchup that holds significant implications for both teams. As they strive for their third victory of the season, the Cowboys, currently sitting at 2-3-1, are keen to capitalize on this divisional clash to improve their standing in the NFC East.
Injury Updates Impacting the Matchup
Dallas received a boost with the return of wide receiver CeeDee Lamb, who had been sidelined for the previous three games. His presence alongside George Pickens adds a new layer of danger to the Cowboys’ offense, making them a more formidable opponent. However, the team faced a significant setback with the unexpected absence of cornerback Trevon Diggs, who will miss the game due to a concussion sustained in a home accident. This news caught many off guard, highlighting the unpredictable nature of injuries in the NFL.
Commanders Dealing with Their Own Challenges
On the other side of the field, the Commanders are grappling with their own injury woes. They will be particularly thin at wide receiver, missing both Deebo Samuel and Terry McLaurin. This lack of depth could significantly hinder their offensive capabilities as they face a Cowboys defense that will be looking to take advantage of the situation.
Cowboys’ Inactive Roster for Week 7
As the teams prepare for kickoff, the Cowboys have announced their list of inactive players for the game:
Ajani Cornelius, OT
Trevor Keegan, G
Jay Toia, DT
Marshawn Kneeland, DE
Trevon Diggs, CB
Juanyeh Thomas, S
This lineup includes key players such as Diggs and Thomas, who will be sorely missed as Dallas aims to secure a crucial victory against a division rival.
With the stakes high and both teams facing notable challenges, fans can expect an intense showdown as the Cowboys look to shift their season momentum in a positive direction.
