Dallas Cowboys and Seattle Seahawks Injury Report: Week 13 Impact

4 Comments

The Dallas Cowboys have been one of the healthiest teams in the NFL, losing only two starters for the season.

Trevon Diggs and Leighton Vander Esch are the only starters to miss significant time this year for the Cowboys.

Luckily for us, DaRon Bland has more than made up for the loss of Diggs, setting a single-season NFL record with five interceptions returned for a touchdown.

To add even more icing on the cake, there are still six games left in the regular season.

Replacing Vander Esch hasn’t been a 1:1 conversion. A mix of Damone Clark, Markquese Bell, and Rashaan Evans has picked up the slack.

Now in Week 13, the Cowboys play their second consecutive Thursday game after knocking off the Washington Commanders on Thanksgiving.

The Seattle Seahawks are up next, and Dallas’ stellar health should have them in the front seat to move on to 9-3.

Dallas Cowboys Week 13 injury report.

Dallas Cowboys

The Dallas Cowboys officially listed seven players on the Week 13 injury report.

*At the time of this writing, TE Peyton Hendershot’s status was changed to “questionable”*.

Questionable

TE Peyton Hendershot (ankle)

Dallas has been awaiting the return of Hendershot and the last-minute change to “questionable” hints that he will be activated for the game.

No Designation

RB Rico Dowdle (ankle), DE Dante Fowler (illness), S Jayron Kearse (back), LB Micah Parsons (illness), DT Mazi Smith (shoulder), LB Tyrus Wheat (concussion)

All seven of the Cowboys players on the injury report participated in full according to Wednesday’s injury report.

Rico Dowdle, the main relief for starting RB Tony Pollard, is still dealing with an ankle injury suffered during practice last week.

He has been cleared to play without restrictions.

There seems to be an illness making its way through the Cowboys’ facility, and it has infected both Dante Fowler and Micah Parsons.

It will not affect their game status.

Jayron Kearse, who missed last week’s game with a back injury, will be back in the lineup tomorrow.

When asked to give a percentage estimate about whether or not he will play, Kearse responded with “200%”.

Rookie DT Mazi Smith is dealing with a sore shoulder but participated in full all week at practice.

Special teams contributor Tyrus Wheat has been cleared to return from a concussion, but we will have to wait until game time to see if he will dress.

Seattle Seahawks

The Seattle Seahawks officially listed six players on their final Week 13 injury report.

Out

OL Phil Haynes (toe)

Starting RG Phil Haynes has been ruled out of tomorrow’s game with a toe injury.

Backup Anthony Bradford likely gets the start.

Doubtful

RB Kenneth Walker III (oblique), WR Dareke Young (abdomen)

Starting RB Kenneth Walker III likely will not suit up tomorrow against the Cowboys.

Rookie RB Zach Charbonnet will start in his stead.

WR Dareke Young, who has been active for just one game this season, isn’t likely to play with an injured abdomen.

Questionable

DE Leonard Williams (ankle), TE Will Dissly (hip), WR Dee Eskridge (ribs)

The newest member of the Seahawks defense, DE Leonard Williams, is listed as questionable with a hurt ankle but should be good to go.

Starting TE Will Dissly caught one pass for 21 yards last week versus the 49ers before leaving the game with an injured hip.

He is leaning towards playing.

Reserve WR Dee Eskridge, who has just two touches for five yards this season in four games, is expected to be ready to play tomorrow.
