The Dallas Cowboys injury situation has been catastrophic in 2020. Still, they did receive a fair bit of positive news on that front this week with the return of linebacker Sean Lee who was activated from injured reserve and Zack Martin who practiced all week after recovering from a concussion that kept him out of last Sunday’s game.
The two veterans, something Dallas has sorely needed in 2020, are active and ready to go against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday Night Football. There are no surprise inactives for the matchup tonight as there’s not many tough choices that need to be made. However, rookie defensive end Bradlee Anae returns to active duty after the team traded Everson Griffen earlier in the week.

The team’s rotating cast of captains honors goes to linebacker Leighton Vander Esch, running back and kick return Tony Pollard and kicker Greg Zuerlein.

The Eagles are missing some key pieces offensively, missing right tackle Lane Johnson who was ruled out earlier in the day with an ankle injury. They’re also without running back Miles Sanders and wide receiver Alshon Jeffery.

It hasn’t mattered who has lined up at running back for opponents of the Dallas defense to date, but Boston Scott will assume the lion’s share of those duties. First-round draft pick wide receiver Jalen Reagor will be active for the first time since Week 2 after having surgery to repair a torn UCL in his right thumb.
