Dallas plays their second of three consecutive home contests with the doors open and roof closed this time, so no parachuters will get a chance to sneak a peak at the contest.

Per usual, QB Will Grier will not dress, as will none of the heavily injured players. Safety Donovan Wilson will miss his third consecutive game with a groin injury. Meanwhile tackle Ty Nsekhe is out again after being hospitalized for a heat-related illness a few weeks ago. The two lower-leg casualties along the defensive line, DE Dorance Armstrong and DT Carlos Watkins are once again out. Two rookies join the usual five as Dallas is working with a 55-man roster this week. Safety Israel Mukuamu and WR Simi Fehoko are healthy scratches.
