15 players land on Dallas Cowboys final injury report

Heading into their Week 17 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles, a whopping 15 players landed on the Dallas Cowboys final injury report.

After losing last weekend to the Seattle Seahawks, the Dallas Cowboys have little to prove going into their Week 17 matchup as they are no longer in playoff contention. Their opponents have nothing on the line as well as the Philadelphia Eagles have already locked up their place in the postseason, winning the NFC East crown and earning themselves a first week bye in the process.

Although this contest has little meaning for both sides, Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett seems pretty determined to do everything he can to win this ball game as “finishing” is an important aspect of the current culture in Dallas. And it appears if you are relatively healthy as a Cowboy player, you’ll be suiting up to play in frigid Philly on Sunday.

But that’s not to say Dallas will be at full strength when they take on their divisional rivals this weekend. In fact, a whopping 15 players landed on the Cowboys final injury report Friday. Already ruled out for their final contest of 2017 are defensive ends David Irving (concussion) and Benson Mayowa (back).

The players the Cowboys consider questionable for the upcoming Eagles game are defensive tackle Richard Ash (shoulder), wide receiver Cole Beasley (illness), tackle La’el Collins (back) and running back Rod Smith (back).

Also appearing on Dallas’ final injury report were wide receiver Dez Bryant (knee), wide receiver Brice Butler (foot), defensive tackle Maliek Collins (foot), linebacker Anthony Hitchens (knee), defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence (back), linebacker Sean Lee (back) and wide receiver Terrance Williams (non-injury related absence).
