Fantasy Impact: Prescott is dealing with a partial avulsion of his hamstring, according to Jerry Jones. Prescott will be placed on injured reserve and he will turn his focus to rehabbing for the 2025 season. The Cowboys are expected to continue to start Cooper Rush at QB, which will be a downgrade for the Cowboys’ pass catchers for the remainder of the season.

Fantasy Impact: Overshown left Sunday's game early with a non-contact injury. It appears he avoided a serious injury, but he'll likely continue to be further evaluated.


Cowboys DE Micah Parsons (ankle) is officially questionable for Week 10. (Source: Adam Caplan on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Parsons was able to log limited practice time during each session this week. Parsons has been out of action since Week 4, so his return would be a major boost for the Cowboys' defense.


Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb (shoulder) is off the injury report for Week 10. (Source: Adam Caplan on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Lamb was able to log a full practice to close out the week and will not carry an injury designation for Week 10. He should be available for Cooper Rush and the Cowboys against the Eagles.


Cowboys CB Trevon Diggs (calf/illness) is officially questionable for Week 10. (Source: Adam Caplan on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Diggs came into Week 9 listed as questionable as well, but ended up playing. He was downgraded to a non-participant Friday, so his status will be worth monitoring heading into Sunday's matchup with the Eagles.


Zack Martin remained absent from practice on Thursday. (Source: Todd Archer on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Martin is dealing with a shoulder injury among other things according to Archer. That is back-to-back missed practices for him to open the week. His status will be worth monitoring at practice on Friday.


Cowboys DE DeMarcus Lawrence (foot) will not yet be activated for practice off of IR, but does appear to be moving around well, per HC Mike McCarthy. (Source: Jane Slater on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Lawrence was placed on injured reserve back on Oct. 1 due to a sustained foot injury. It appears the four-time Pro Bowl pass rusher is not yet ready to return to action.


Cowboys WR Brandin Cooks (knee) will not yet be activated for practice off of IR, but does appear to be moving around well, per HC Mike McCarthy. (Source: Jane Slater on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Cooks was placed on injured reserve on Oct. 5 due to an infection that developed in his knee. It appears the 11th-year veteran is not yet ready to return to play.


Rico Dowdle was a full participant at practice on Wednesday. (Source: Nick Harris on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Dowdle was a late addition to the injury report last week before he was ruled out due to an illness. He should return to his lead role in the Cowboys backfield, but it'll likely remain a committee.


The Cowboys activated DaRon Bland from injured reserve.

Fantasy Impact: The 21-day practice window for Bland had ran out. His status to return this week still remains up in the air for the Cowboys.


John Stephens Jr. (knee) has been diagnosed with a torn ACL and will be out for the remainder of the season.

Fantasy Impact: Stephens recently suffered a significant knee injury, which is officially being diagnosed as a torn ACL. He is going to be out for the remainder of the 2024 season while recovering. His absence shouldn't have a big impact for fantasy purposes.


Cowboys CB Caelen Carson is officially inactive for Week 6.

Fantasy Impact: Carson was listed as questionable with a shoulder injury. He will likely be replaced by Amani Oruwariye against Detroit.


Nick Vigil has been listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Lions. (Source: Tim Twentyman on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Vigil was sidelined all week from practice. He is likely on the less favorable side of questionable.


Eric Kendricks has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Lions. (Source: Tim Twentyman on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Kendricks was absent from practice all week. Both he and Micah Parsons were the lone players immediately ruled out for Dallas.


Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy said Tyler Guyton will practice on Wednesday. (Source: Jon Machota on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Guyton suffered a knee injury in last week's win over the Steelers. He is considered as day-to-day.


Marshawn Kneeland suffered a partially torn meniscus in the Cowboys’ win over the Steelers. (Source: Ian Rapoport on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: It is unclear how long Kneeland will be sidelined for, but it appears he may have avoided a season-ending injury. He is expected to have his meniscus trimmed on Tuesday at which point a more clear timetable should be provided.


Ezekiel Elliott was a limited participant at Dallas' practice on Thursday. (Source: Ralph Vacchiano on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Elliot wasn't able to practice at full capacity on Thursday. He was listed as a limited participant because of dehydration, so this won't be a lasting issue for the veteran. He should be good to go for Week 5 but should remain out of starting lineups, especially with his matchup being against Pittsburgh's tough run defense.


The Cowboys elevated Carl Lawson from their practice squad. (Source: Jon Machota on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Lawson was released by Dallas before the season before he re-signed to the practice squad. He'll hold a depth role on the defensive line for the Cowboys.


Jake Ferguson (knee) will play in Week 3 against the Baltimore Ravens. (Source: Todd Archer on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Ferguson suffered a knee injury in the season opener and was out in Week 2 because of it, but he carries no injury designation and will be able to make his return to the lineup in Week 3. He was a full participant in Friday's practice, so fantasy managers should feel confident in his health heading into a tough matchup against the Ravens.


Jalen Brooks (ankle) is questionable to play in Week 3 against the Baltimore Ravens. (Source: Mike Garafolo on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Brooks was added to the injury report on Thursday because of an ankle injury. It will officially leave him questionable for Week 3, and the team will wait until closer to game time to make a determination on his availability. He doesn't usually play a big role on Dallas' offense, so fantasy managers shouldn't put much weight into his availability on Sunday.
