Dallas Cowboys: Inactives for Week 18 at Washington Commanders

The Dallas Cowboys take on the Washington Commanders in the final game of the regular season on Sunday. As expected, the Cowboys will fight for win No. 13 without linebacker Leighton Vander Esch and center Tyler Biadasz, according to the inactives list.

With no playoff implications to consider, the Commanders have a longer list of inactives than the Cowboys.

Mike McCarthy’s squad made a couple of roster moves on Saturday to bolster the game day roster. They elevated safety Tyler Coyle and offensive tackle Alex Taylor from the practice squad. Dallas also added veteran cornerback Xavier Rhodes to the practice squad to potentially help in the postseason.

Cowboys return man KaVontae Turpin popped up on the injury report due to an illness on Thursday, as did lineman Connor McGovern on Saturday. Both were questionable heading into Sunday’s game but are active. McGovern is set to start in place of the injured Biadasz at center.

Also in the lineup for Dallas is running back Tony Pollard. Pollard returned to practice on Wednesday after sitting out of the Week 17 game. He is just 12 yards shy of hitting the 1,000-yard rushing mark for the season.

Dallas and Washington kick off at 4:25 p.m. ET, which is the same time as the Philadelphia Eagles and New York Giants game.

A loss by the Eagles and a win for the Cowboys would give Dallas the NFC East title. It would mean at least the No. 2 seed in the conference, granting them hosting rights for round one. If the 49ers also lose, Dallas could clinch the No. 1 seed and a first-round bye. San Francisco kicks off versus Arizona at 4:25 p.m. ET as well.

Here are the final inactives lists from Dallas and Washington with less than two hours until kickoff.
