Dallas Cowboys, Seattle Seahawks release Tuesday injury report before TNF

The Dallas Cowboys are on a hot streak, especially in games at AT&T Stadium. They have another coming up on Thursday Night Football against the Seattle Seahawks who are on a two-game losing streak. Dallas has had three straight wins this month, taking down the Giants, Panthers and Commanders. Seattle first lost to the Rams, then the San Francisco 49ers.

The Cowboys have several players questionable at this point in the week, including starting safety Jayron Kearse, running back Rico Dowdle and defensive end Dante Fowler. Dallas also added Micah Parsons to the injury report on Tuesday due to an illness.

Here’s who was in and who was out for Tuesday practices, according to the injury reports. The final list of inactives for both teams will come out an hour and a half before the 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff on Thursday.

Kearse ‘looking good’ for Week 13

Kearse missed the Thanksgiving Day win against the Washington Commanders due to an issue with his back, however, there is progress. The starter did half of the team’s reps during practice on Sunday and upped the count even more on Monday. According to Mike McCarthy, he “looks good.”

The head coach wouldn’t go so far as to say Kearse will play on Thursday against the Seattle Seahawks, but he said there’s a “good chance.” Dallas’ defense had no trouble handling the Commanders last week without the veteran, but the sooner he’s back, the better.

Kearse, a former seventh-round draft pick out of Clemson, has 47 tackles, 1.5 sacks, 1.5 tackles for loss and one interception so far this season. He’s fourth on the Dallas defense in tackles this year, despite playing one fewer game than the other tackling leaders.

The Cowboys defense has been on a tear over the last three games. While scoring 127 points against the Giants, Panthers and Commanders, they’ve allowed just 37 points on defense.
