After coming off a bye in Week 7, the Cowboys hit the field with a few key players missing from practice.
The most notable absences are All-Pros Micah Parsons and DaRon Bland. Parsons is nursing an ankle injury, while Bland deals with a foot issue, leaving their game status for Sunday night uncertain. These two defensive stars are crucial to the Cowboys’ success, and their availability could significantly impact the team’s chances in this prime-time showdown.
Adding to the list of absentees is Pro Bowl kicker Brandon Aubrey, but his situation isn’t as alarming—he missed practice due to jury duty, not an injury. Cowboys fans can breathe a sigh of relief knowing his absence won’t affect the team’s kicking game.
Beyond Parsons and Bland, four other players were limited in practice. Ryan Flournoy (ankle), Eric Kendricks (shoulder), John Stephens (knee), and Nick Vigil (foot) are all managing injuries. However, some positive news emerged as Caelen Carson, Marist Liufau, and Jordan Phillips were full participants, signaling they should be ready for Sunday night’s clash.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones addressed the situation, hinting that Parsons and Bland will be gametime decisions. Fans and analysts alike will keep a close eye on their progress as the week unfolds.
With kickoff set for 8:20 p.m. ET on NBC, the Cowboys’ depth may be tested if their star defenders are unable to play. As Dallas fine-tunes its game plan for the 49ers, the next few days of practice will be crucial in determining whether Parsons and Bland will be ready to take the field in this high-stakes matchup.
