Cowboys and Patriots injury list

Did Not Practice – Cowboys: CB Trevon Diggs(Ankle), DE Dorance Armstrong(Ankle), S Damontae Kazee(Hip)

Diggs has been the point of focus each week with a back injury that hasn’t kept him from leading the league in interceptions. This week he was listed as unavailable for practice on Wednesday after injuring his ankle against the New York Giants last week. Kazee was also kept from practice with a hip injury, and Armstrong is battling an ankle injury. Michael Gehlken of the Dallas Morning News reported that Armstrong was not expected to play against the Patriots.

Did Not Practice – Patriots: RB Damien Harris(Ribs), G Shaq Mason(Abdomen), CB Shaun Wade(Concussion)

Damien Harris and Shaq Mason were both unavailable on Wednesday for practice with injury. As of now it’s not clear if they will be available for Sunday’s game against the Cowboys, but both are key parts of the Patriots offense. Rookie quarterback Mac Jones will need all of his tools available to him as he looks to improve.

Limited Participation – Cowboys: RB Ezekiel Elliott(Ribs), DE Randy Gregory(Knee), S Donovan Wilson(Groin)

Both Ezekiel Elliott and Randy Gregory were limited in practice on Wednesday, but The Athletic’s Jon Machota reported that there was no major concern for their availability.

“Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs did not practice today,” stated Machota. “Running back Ezekiel Elliott and defensive end Randy Gregory were limited. All three are expected to play Sunday.”

Limited Participation – Patriots: LB Ja’Whaun Bentley(Shoulder), DB Cody Davis(Knee), S Kyle Dugger(Hamstring), K Nick Folk(Knee), OL Justin Herron(Abdomen), CB Jonathan Jones(Ankle), CB Jalen Mills(Hamstring), LB Ronnie Perkins(Ankle), LB Kyle Van Noy(Groin)

Three key Patriots defensive starters made the limited participation list on Wednesday with Van Noy, Dugger and Mills all dealing with lower-body injuries. With the deep Cowboys wide receiving unit coming up, having the Patriots’ secondary at full strength will be critical for shutting them down. On the offensive side of the ball, Justin Herron was limited as well, with his health being more of a concern as Shaq Mason also risks missing Sunday’s game.

Full Participation – Cowboys: T Ty Nsekhe(Illness)

Ty Nsekhe was a full participant in practice on Wednesday, and should be available to relieve Terence Steele if needed. Steele continues to fill in for the suspended La’el Collins, who recently had his suspension appeal denied by the US court system.
