The Dallas Cowboys list of inactive players for Sunday afternoon’s game against the New England Patriots has been announced. A number of key contributors had a questionable designation entering the weekend, but the Cowboys will have most of them available for the game.

QB Will Grier, WR Simi Fehoko, DE Bradlee Anae, DE Dorance Armstrong, SS Israel Mukuamu.

The list of players that were limited in the Cowboys’ practice on Friday includes Trevon Diggs, Ezekiel Elliott, Randy Gregory, Damontae Kazee, Tyron Smith, and Donavan Wilson. All of those players have avoided the inactive list and will play for the Cowboys on Sunday.

Diggs has been dealing with an injured ankle and is currently leading the NFL with six interceptions. Elliott has bruised ribs, but the injury isn’t bad enough to make him inactive on Sunday. He suffered the injury after landing on the pylon while diving for the end zone last week.

Elliott has had a tremendous start to the season despite a slow Week 1. In the Cowboys’ season opening loss to the Buccaneers, Elliott had just 33 yards rushing. But since then, he has seemingly found his form as an elite NFL running back yet again. Elliott has rushed for a touchdown in four consecutive games and has two straight games with at least 110 rushing yards. On the season, Elliott is averaging 5.3 yards per carry with 452 yards and five touchdowns on 85 attempts. He also had nine receptions for 55 yards and a touchdown.

Ahead of Sunday’s game, the Cowboys waived offensive tackle Brandon Knight. The team also signed fullback Nick Ralston and tight end Jeremy Sprinkle to the active roster.

The Cowboys are 4-1 on the season and have won four games in a row. The Cowboys are surging on both sides of the ball, and have gained control of the NFC East.
