Analysis: Lamb went up for a jump ball in the end zone early in the third quarter and came down hard on his head and shoulder. The exact nature of the injury is unclear, though he's likely being evaluated for a concussion at a minimum. After spending a brief time in the medical tent, Lamb walked to the locker room. |

Jalen Tolbert Jalen Tolbert Healthy scratch in Week 14
Thu, Dec 4, 2025, 6:31 PM
Tolbert (coach's decision) is inactive for Thursday night's contest against Detroit.
Analysis: Tolbert is a healthy scratch for the second time in three weeks, heading to the bench in favor of Jonathan Mingo in Week 14. Tolbert played 18 snaps on offense in the team's win over the Chiefs on Thanksgiving, his highest total since Week 7, but he failed to garner a target. |

Jonathan Mingo Jonathan Mingo Ready to go for TNF
Thu, Dec 4, 2025, 6:27 PM
Mingo is active for Thursday night's matchup with the Lions.
Analysis: Mingo will be active for just the second time this season, suiting up in place of Jalen Tolbert (coach's decision) against Detroit. Mingo has played just three snaps on offense this year, failing to garner a target. He'll operate behind Ceedee Lamb, George Pickens, Ryan Flournoy and KaVontae Turpin in Week 14. |

Jaydon Blue Jaydon Blue Remains inactive for TNF
Thu, Dec 4, 2025, 6:24 PM
Blue (coach's decision) is inactive for Thursday night's contest against the Lions.
Analysis: Blue is once again a healthy scratch in Week 14, marking the fifth straight contest that the team has decided to make him unavailable. The running back has been limited to 22 carries for 65 yards and one catch for five yards over four contests this season. Blue remains behind Javonte Williams and Malik Davis on the Cowboys' depth chart. |

George Pickens George Pickens Clear for Week 14
Wed, Dec 3, 2025, 2:01 PM
Pickens (calf/knee) doesn't have a designation for Thursday's game at Detroit, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: For a second week in a row, Pickens was listed with calf and knee injuries, which limited him at Monday's practice. He followed up that capped session with a full practice Tuesday and full walkthrough Wednesday, clearing him for Week 14 action. Pickens has continued to be a menace to opposing defenses since the Cowboys' Week 10 bye, gathering in 24 of 33 targets for 378 yards and two touchdowns over the last three contests. |

George Pickens George Pickens Puts in full practice
Tue, Dec 2, 2025, 4:02 PM
Pickens (calf/knee) was a full participant in Tuesday's practice, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Dallas listed Pickens as a non-participant and a limited participant on two of their practice reports last week while he dealt with the same two injuries, but he proceeded to play 53 snaps in the Cowboys' Thanksgiving Day win over the Chiefs and finished with six catches for 88 yards on a season-high 13 targets. Now that he's already achieved a full listing on Dallas' second practice report of Week 14, Pickens is seemingly in a better spot on the health front heading into Thursday's game against the Lions. On the heels of another big game, Pickens looks like a must-start option versus a leaky Detroit defense that lost one of its starting cornerbacks in Terrion Arnold (shoulder) to a season-ending injury in Week 13. |

George Pickens George Pickens Limited in practice Monday
Mon, Dec 1, 2025, 3:42 PM
Pickens (calf/knee) was limited in Monday's practice, Eric Woodyard of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Pickens had his practice reps limited last week with the same injuries and ultimately didn't carry an injury designation into last Thursday's win over the Chiefs. He ended up drawing a season-high 13 targets against Kansas City, turning in a 6-88-0 receiving line on 74 percent of the offensive snaps. He should be fine for Thursday night's game against the Lions. |

KaVontae Turpin KaVontae Turpin Gets five touches Thanksgiving Day
Fri, Nov 28, 2025, 9:01 PM
Turpin caught two passes on as many targets for 28 yards and added three carries for 33 yards during the Cowboys' 31-28 win over the Chiefs on Thursday. He also added 118 yards on five kickoff returns.
Analysis: Turpin continued to serve in a gadget role in the Cowboys offense Thursday, and he surpassed 50 yards from scrimmage for a second straight game and for the fourth time this season. The fourth-year pro's speed makes him a big-play threat on every down and has earned him a small but consistent role. Turpin is up to 19 catches (on 28 targets) for 260 yards and a touchdown along with 12 carries for 63 yards across 10 regular-season games, and his 1,036 yards on kickoffs (on 40 returns) is third most in the NFL behind Chimere Dike (1,206) and Myles Price (1,058). |

Ryan Flournoy Ryan Flournoy Hauls in three passes vs. KC
Fri, Nov 28, 2025, 8:49 PM
Flournoy caught three passes on as many targets for 34 yards during the Cowboys' 31-28 win over the Chiefs on Thursday.
Analysis: Two of Flournoy's three catches came during the Cowboys' first offensive drive of the second quarter, which helped lead to a 49-yard field goal from Brandon Aubrey. Flournoy's three receptions were his most since Week 6 against the Panthers, and his 27 snaps on offense were third most among Cowboys wide receivers behind CeeDee Lamb (58) and George Pickens (53) and ahead of KaVontae Turpin (26). Flournoy is up to 20 catches (on 29 targets) for 234 yards and two touchdowns across 12 regular-season games. |

Malik Davis Malik Davis Scores first TD of 2025
Fri, Nov 28, 2025, 8:38 PM
Davis turned three carries into 47 yards and a touchdown during the Cowboys' 31-28 win over the Chiefs on Thursday.
Analysis: Davis played just nine snaps on offense compared to Javonte Williams' 56, but the former helped give the Cowboys a 17-14 lead in the second quarter with a 43-yard touchdown run. With rookie fifth-rounder Jaydon Blue a healthy scratch for each of Dallas' last four games, Davis appears to be fully entrenched as the RB2 behind Williams, though the latter figures to still serve as the team's workhorse out of the backfield. Davis has logged 10 carries for 91 yards across three games since the Cowboys' Week 10 bye. |

Jake Ferguson Jake Ferguson Five catches against KC
Thu, Nov 27, 2025, 8:05 PM
Ferguson caught five of six targets for 36 yards in Thursday's 31-28 win over Kansas City.
Analysis: The tight end nearly hauled in his eighth TD of the season late in the third quarter on a 13-yard toss from Dak Prescott, but replay showed that Ferguson's second foot got tangled up with his defenders and never landed in bounds at the back of the end zone. It was still the fourth straight game in which he's caught at least four passes, and Ferguson has 70 receptions on the season -- one short of the career high he set in 2023, and second among all tight ends this year behind Trey McBride's 80. Ferguson will look to establish that new personal best in Week 14 against the Lions. |

George Pickens George Pickens Productive in Thanksgiving win
Thu, Nov 27, 2025, 8:00 PM
Pickens caught six of 13 targets for 88 yards in Thursday's 31-28 win over Kansas City. He also caught a two-point conversion.
Analysis: The 13 targets led the Cowboys, but Pickens otherwise took a back seat to CeeDee Lamb and his 7-112-1 line on nine looks from Dak Prescott. Pickens was on the other end of Prescott's two-point conversion toss in the fourth quarter, however. The fourth-year wideout has already established a new career high with 1,142 receiving yards on the season in only 12 games, and he'll look to keep padding his totals ahead of potential free agency in the spring in a Week 14 clash with the Lions. |

CeeDee Lamb CeeDee Lamb Rebounds with big Week 13 effort
Thu, Nov 27, 2025, 7:56 PM
Lamb caught seven of nine targets for 112 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's 31-28 win over Kansas City.
Analysis: George Pickens led the Cowboys in targets once again, but Lamb paced the team's pass-catchers in receptions and yards, capping his performance with a 15-yard TD from Dak Prescott in the first quarter. It's the fourth time in nine games this season Lamb has hit for triple-digit yards, and the issues he had hanging onto the ball against the Eagles last week were nowhere to be found. The 26-year-old wideout will take a 51-744-3 line on 81 targets into a Week 14 clash with the Lions. |

Javonte Williams Javonte Williams Ends TD drought in win over KC
Thu, Nov 27, 2025, 7:52 PM
Williams carried the ball 17 times for 59 yards and caught all three of his targets for 21 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's 31-28 win over Kansas City.
Analysis: Malik Davis scored Dallas' only TD on the ground on an impressive 43-yard run in the second quarter, but Williams snagged the team's final touchdown of the afternoon, catching a three-yard toss from Dak Prescott early in the fourth that put the Cowboys in the lead for good. It was Williams' first trip to the end zone since Week 8, and through 12 games on the season he's amassed 955 rushing yards and eight scores on the ground while adding a 31-128-2 line on 42 targets through the air. He'll look to record his first career 1,000-yard rushing campaign in Week 14 against the Lions. |

Dak Prescott Dak Prescott Tops 300 yards in Thanksgiving win
Thu, Nov 27, 2025, 7:48 PM
Prescott completed 27 of 39 passes for 320 yards and two touchdowns with one interception in Thursday's 31-28 win over Kansas City. He also threw a two-point conversion.
Analysis: The veteran quarterback got picked off by Jaylen Watson on his second pass attempt of the afternoon, but from that point on Prescott was in firm control. He capped the Cowboys' next drive with a 15-yard TD to CeeDee Lamb, then put his team in the lead for good early in the fourth quarter with a three-yard score to Javonte Williams. Prescott has thrown multiple TDs in three straight games as Dallas keeps its playoff hopes alive, posting an 8:2 TD:INT over that stretch, but he'll likely need to be sharp again in Week 14 in another potential barn burner against Detroit. |

Jalen Tolbert Jalen Tolbert Back in Week 13 WR mix
Thu, Nov 27, 2025, 3:04 PM
Tolbert is officially listed as active for Thursday's game against the Chiefs.
Analysis: Tolbert was a healthy scratch for this past Sunday's 24-21 win over the Eagles, but he'll rejoin the Cowboys' WR mix in Week 13. In the process, he'll be a candidate, along with Ryan Flournoy and KaVontae Turpin, for snaps/targets that don't go to the team's clear-cut top options at the position, CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens. |

Jaydon Blue Jaydon Blue Inactive for Thursday's game
Thu, Nov 27, 2025, 2:28 PM
Blue (coach's decision) is inactive for Thursday's game against the Chiefs, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
Analysis: Blue has now been made a healthy scratch in four consecutive games, ever since he committed a fumble versus the Broncos in Week 8. In place of the rookie fifth-round pick, Malik Davis will continue to operate the No. 2 option behind workhorse starter Javonte Williams in Dallas' backfield. |
|
Jalen Tolbert Jalen Tolbert Active for Thursday's game
Thu, Nov 27, 2025, 2:21 PM
Tolbert is active for Thursday's game against the Chiefs, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
Analysis: Tolbert was made a surprising healthy scratch versus the Eagles in Week 12, but he'll suit up versus Kansas City on Thanksgiving Day. He essentially remains off the fantasy radar, though, given that Tolbert's role on offense has steadily declined, and in his last three appearances he's logged less than 20 percent of offensive snaps. Jonathan Mingo (coach's decision) is inactive Thursday with Tolbert taking the field. |

Jonathan Mingo Jonathan Mingo Healthy scratch Thanksgiving Day
Thu, Nov 27, 2025, 2:18 PM
Mingo (coach's decision) is inactive for Thursday's game against the Chiefs, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
Analysis: Mingo has consistently been a healthy scratch since returning from IR late October, as his first game being listed as active came Week 12 versus the Eagles. With Jalen Tolbert now back in the lineup versus Kansas City, however, Mingo reverts to his usual role. His next chance to suit up will come Thursday, Dec. 4 versus the Lions in Week 14. |
