Following the Dallas Cowboys’ harrowing win over the Kansas City Chiefs, the team could take a major step forward this week with a win on the road against the Detroit Lions. The Lions are currently one game ahead of the Cowboys in the win column, and should they win this week, Dallas could close ground on the seventh and final Wild Card spot in the NFC.
To open the week, both Dallas and Detroit are battling through injuries. Here’s the latest status of both clubs.
Cornerback Trevon Diggs (knee) was limited to open the week of practice. There’s optimism that Diggs will play Thursday against Detroit and a limited showing today is at least a positive sign. However, offensive tackle Tyler Guyton (ankle) did not practice today and could miss this week’s game. If he cannot go, Nathan Thomas will get the start in his absence. Caelen Carson (hamstring) was a full participant to start the week along with DaRon Bland, who is managing foot and wrist injuries.
Jadeveon Clowney also sat out today with a hamstring issue. Plenty of other Cowboys veterans were limited in practice with this hectic couple of weeks of games causing the team to be cautious.
For the Lions, receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) did not practice after he left last Thursday’s game with an injury. The expectation is he will not play Thursday. Today is certainly starting the trend in that direction. Also not practicing Monday was fellow receiver Khalif Raymond (ankle). Meanwhile, safety Kerby Joseph (knee) was limited.
