The Dallas Cowboys have revealed its list of inactive players for Sunday’s game against the Denver Broncos. While the status of many key contributors was in question earlier in the week, the Cowboys have mostly caught good breaks as kickoff approaches.

Cowboys inactive players vs. Denver

OT Tyron Smith (ankle), QB Will Grier, S Israel Mukuamu, WR Simi Fehoko.

Smith has been dealing with an ankle injury, and he will be inactive for the Cowboys on Sunday. He was able to play last week against Minnesota, but he aggravated his injury, forcing him out of action this week.

The Cowboys also lost tight end Blake Jarwin with a hip injury, and he has been placed on injured reserve. Jarwin will miss at least the next three weeks, but he is expected to return this season. Dallas signed nose tackle Justin Hamilton to the active roster from the practice squad and activated Francis Bernard from the practice squad after Jarwin was placed on injured reserve.

Wide receivers Amari Cooper and CeeDee Lamb were both dealing with injuries throughout the week. Cooper has a hamstring issue and was limited throughout the week. Lamb has been dealing with an ankle injury. He did not practice Thursday but returned in a limited fashion on Friday. Luckily for the Cowboys, Cooper and Lamb will both avoid the inactive list.

Most importantly for the Cowboys, quarterback Dak Prescott will return to the field on Sunday against Denver. Prescott was inactive last week due to a calf injury, leaving Cooper Rush to fill in for the Cowboys.

CB Trevon Diggs (ankle), DE Dorance Armstrong (ankle), TE Sean McKeon (ankle), and S Donovan Wilson (groin) have all been nursing injuries, but none of them carry injury designations into the weekend.

The Cowboys and Broncos kick off on Sunday at 1 p.m. ET in Dallas.
