Final Injury Report: Parsons misses practice, Cowboys rule out CB, 11 Bucs designated

The Dallas Cowboys are relatively healthy going into their wild-card game, which is of utmost importance as they prepare to try and topple the Tom Brady monster. Dallas is 0-7 against Brady across his career, and all hands are needed on deck to break that streak and the 30-year lull of playoff road victories the franchise faces. On Saturday, the final injury report ahead of Monday night’s battle with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers was released, and Dallas only ruled out one player, cornerback Treyvon Mullen.

Some would say after Mullen’s performance in Week 18 it was unlikely he was going to see any snaps unless dire emergency. Edge rusher Micah Parsons was included in the final report, but only because he missed practice to attend the birth of his child. Meanwhile, the Bucs didn’t rule out anyone, but two players on offense are doubtful and another nine are questionable.

In related news, DT Johnathan Hankins will be activated for the game, and Dallas will need to make a related roster move, in addition to their expected two practice squad elevations prior to the game.
