The Dallas Cowboys will be down two cornerbacks for the late afternoon matchup with Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs. Already missing their two starting pass rusher in DeMarcus Lawrence and Randy Gregory โ both on IR โ the defense will be further hindered by the loss of their depth in the secondary. Second-round rookie Kelvin Joseph will miss the contest with a personal issue. Meanwhile Nahshon Wright will miss the contest with a hamstring injury.
On offense, despite ramping up in practice throughout the week, Dallas will be without left tackle Tyron Smith. His ankle injury has not healed enough for him to test it in the game, leading to another start at the position by swing tackle Terence Steele. The Cowboys’ offense will also be without Amari Cooper, who was placed on COVID reserve earlier in the week.
Meanwhile on the opposite sideline, the Chiefs will be without starting RT Lucas Niang.
Here’s a look at the two teams full inactives list.
