The Dallas Cowboys defense will once again be short-handed when they take the field in Week 9 against the Atlanta Falcons at Mercecdes-Benz Stadium.

All-Pro edge rusher Micah Parsons, who has been out of action since a Week 4 win over the rival New York Giants with a high-ankle sprain, has officially been ruled out, along with All-Pro cornerback DaRon Bland, who was activated from injured reserve this week.

Other questionable players include starting linebacker Eric Kendricks (shoulder), defensive tackle Linval Joseph (foot), and linebacker Nick Vigil.

On the positive side, standout rookie cornerback Caelen Carson has been cleared to return.

It will be interesting to see how Dallas performs against Atlanta this weekend with the injury bug continuing to plague the roster, but all Cowboys Nation can do now is hope for the best.
