4 key secondary members are not going to play Week 4 in Cowboys-Giants on TNF

A look at the injury status for players on each team ahead of Thursday night’s NFC East showdown to avoid the basement. | From @KDDrummondNFL

Things could pretty wild when the Dallas Cowboys and New York Giants meet on Thursday night in an effort by both teams to climb back to .500. Sitting at 1-2, neither club can really afford to drop the game, but someone is going to come out on the losing end and sit staring up at the rest of the NFC East.

Neither club has produced a strong defensive effort on the 2024 season, and the short week is threatening each club’s secondaries in the worst way. On Wednesday, New York ruled out cornerbacks Adoree Jackson and Dru Phillips. And while Dallas hasn’t ruled them out, cornerback Caelen Carson and safety Markquese Bell have been ruled doubtful, making them playing a long shot.

Here’s a look at the final injury report for Week 4.
