Final Injury Report: Prescott to play, Cowboys’ Smith, Jones in question

The QB on one side is out, the other is hobbled. Check out the final injury report and game statuses for the final game of the year.

The Dallas Cowboys take on the Washington Redskins for the final game of the 2019 regular season.  For the first time all season, the club doesn’t control their own destiny after falling behind the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 16.  The Cowboys now need to not only defeat the Redskins but also need for the New York Giants to knock off Philadelphia for the Cowboys to repeat as NFC East Champions.

The outcome of the Eagles-Giants contest is moot if the Cowboys don’t win on Sunday, and it looks as if they could be short-handed as they release what is possibly their longest injury report of the season.

Quarterback Dak Prescott will play Sunday after virtually not practicing all week for the second consecutive game.  It remains to be seen how the shoulder injury Prescott has been dealing with affects his throwing mechanics.  Prescott missed a few crucial throws last week against the Eagles however, he did not attribute those to his injury.

More concerning for the Cowboys is whether or not Tyron Smith or Byron Jones will play as both are listed as questionable.  Smith has been dealing with back issues and Jones was seen walking in a protective boot Friday.

The only other player listed as questionable for the Cowboys is defensive tackle, Antwaun Woods.  Woods has been dealing with hip/ankle issues although he did play last week.

The Redskins will be without three starters Sunday as safety Landon Collins, quarterback Dwayne Haskins, and wide receiver Terry McLaurin have all been ruled out.

Case Keenum, returning to the starting role, played fairly well in Week 2, completing 70% of his passes for 221 yards and two touchdowns in a 31-21 Cowboys’ victory.  McLaurin leads all rookie receivers with 58 catches and is tied for second in touchdowns with seven.
