The Dallas Cowboys have released their final injury report ahead of Sunday’s high-stakes clash against the San Francisco 49ers, and it doesn’t look promising for Cowboys fans.
Four key players, including defensive stars Micah Parsons and DaRon Bland, are ruled out. Parsons, who has been a defensive powerhouse this season, will be sorely missed against the 49ers’ dynamic offense. Bland’s absence also puts added pressure on Dallas’ defense, especially in covering San Francisco’s versatile receiving corps.

Two additional players, rookie defensive back Caelen Carson and starting linebacker Eric Kendricks, are marked as questionable. Carson, who stepped up to replace Bland, is dealing with a lingering issue, while Kendricks’ status remains uncertain as game day approaches. The Cowboys’ lineup for Sunday will depend heavily on last-minute assessments of these players.
Despite a challenging practice week, Dallas is ready to make adjustments with the available roster. Here’s the full injury report from Friday, along with game status updates for all players dealing with injuries.
Kickoff is set for 8:20 p.m. ET, with live coverage on NBC and streaming available on Peacock. Cowboys Nation will be holding its breath as Dallas takes the field with a shorthanded roster against a formidable 49ers team.
