As they approach a critical Week 7 matchup against the Washington Commanders, the Dallas Cowboys are receiving encouraging updates from the injury front. The team’s second injury report of the week, released on Thursday, indicates a positive trend for the health of the roster.
While nine players were still listed as limited participants in Thursday’s practice, their mere presence on the field just days before the game is viewed as an optimistic sign. Most notably, linebacker Jack Sanborn, who has been in the concussion protocol, was upgraded to a full participant. This suggests he is on track to be available for Sunday’s crucial divisional clash.
The player on everyone’s mind, however, remains star wide receiver CeeDee Lamb. Dealing with an ankle injury that has sidelined him for the past three games, Lamb has now been a participant in both practice sessions this week, albeit in a limited capacity. The general sentiment is that if Lamb can progress to full participation in Friday’s practice, he will likely suit up for the Cowboys in this pivotal NFC East derby.
Another note was the addition of safety Juanyeh Thomas to the report due to a migraine. However, Thomas was still able to practice on a limited basis, indicating the issue may not be severe.
With a victory over the Commanders potentially clearing a path in their quest to reclaim the NFC East crown, the potential returns of key contributors like Lamb and Sanborn provide a significant boost to “America’s Team” and its faithful fanbase.
