Week 12 Inactives: Brady playing, Sanu and Dorsett both out, Cowboys Collins in

A look at who’s in and who’s out in the Week 12 tilt.

The Dallas Cowboys and New England Patriots are now less than two hours away from one of the biggest NFL matchups of the year as Week 12 rolls along. The high-powered and league-leading offense of Dallas will have to not only face the league’s best defense, but also brave the horrible conditions of driving rains and gusting winds that will reach above 35 miles per hour.

As for the participants, the inactives list are out, and as all expected, Patriots QB Tom Brady will in fact play after being a late addition to the injury report when he received a questionable designation on Friday. The Patriots tend to list a ton of people as questionable, but there is some word Brady does indeed have an elbow issue, although no one sees it as much of a concern.

He will not have two of his top targets though, as both Mohamed Sanu (ankle) and Phillip Dorsett (concussion) will miss the contest. On defense, corner Jason McCourty (groin) will miss his first game of the year.

Not a member of the injury report this week is LT Isaiah Wynn, who was activated off IR this week.

For the Cowboys the focus is on the offensive linemen as both left guard Connor Williams (knee) and right tackle La’el Collins (knee) will play.

Linebacker Leighton Vander Esch will miss the contest with a neck injury. Joe Thomas, who was one of several Dallas players to suffer from the flu this week, will be available as the Sam backer and backup to Jaylon Smith and Sean Lee.

The rest of the inactives are healthy scratches for the Cowboys.
