Cowboys vs Commanders initial Week 12 injury report: Bland, Cooks, Kneeland updates
The Dallas Cowboys appear to be mending, just in time to ruin their draft positioning. With a 3-7 record entering Week 12’s battle against Dan Quinn’s Washington Commanders, the club’s hope for a fruitful 2024 are already dashed. Bad roster management combined with a lame-duck coaching staff and a cascading amount of injuries have ruined the campaign.
However the club does appear to be nearing the return of several important, missing fingers. Micah Parsons has been back for a couple games and QB Dak Prescott isn’t returning this season, but the club did see the return to practice of CB DaRon Bland, WR Brandin Cooks and rookie DE Marshawn Kneeland on Wednesday. It will all be too little, too late, but when they return it will improve the watchability of Cowboys games down the stretch of the season.
Unfortunately, the club is still leaking participants. Safety Markquese Bell is done for the year after finding out he’ll need shoulder surgery. Tight end Jake Ferguson is a longshot to play Sunday after suffering a concussion on MNF.
Here’s a look at the initial practice reports of both teams.
