Cowboys at Giants: Injuries & Inactives - '100% Healthy' Dak Prescott Gains 2 Weapons

Cowboys’ Tony Pollard is officially active today at Giants, as is receiver Ced Wilson.

The Dallas Cowboys indicated all weekend to us that Tony Pollard would be a “game-time decision, and his end-of-week work now gives the 9-4 Cowboys another weapon in their Sunday meeting with 4-9 New York.

Entering the weekend, we were told the running back would test his foot (torn plantar fascia) at MetLife Stadium before the medical staff helps make a final decision. The test was obviously passed.

Pollard got DNPs in practice all last week, but he was upgraded to limited'' this week following the team's Thursday and Friday workouts at The Star.

And on Friday, the final injury/practice report made official had Pollard moved to “questionable” for Sunday.

Just in case, Dallas has moved running back JaQuan Hardy up from the practice squad.

Demarcus Lawrence (foot) is no longer on the list at all. Running back Ezekiel Elliott (knee) is not on the injury list and we are told experienced his best practice week in some time as he will for the second straight game wear a brace on his balky knee.

Amid speculation that Dak Prescott's recent struggles might be injury-related, the QB has pronounced himself "100-percent healthy.''

Another offensive weapon, Donovan Wilson, is off the COVID list. He has 30 catches for 420 yards and three touchdowns this season as a key helper at wide receiver, an important special-teams player (as a top punt returner), and also as an unusual weapon for offensive coordinator Kellen Moore when it comes to Dallas "exotic'' plays.

The Cowboys presently have two additions to the COVID list in defensive tackles Osa Odighizuwa and Trysten Hill. They will miss this game, with defensive tackle Justin Hamilton getting the call-up along with safety Darian Thompson.

The Dallas Inactives for today: LT Tyron Smith (ankle), CB Nahshon Wright, DE Azur Kamara, WR Simi Fehoko, S Israel Mukuamu and QB Will Grier.
