Will Ezekiel Elliott and Trevon Diggs play for the Dallas Cowboys against Patriots?
The Dallas Cowboys will have running back Ezekiel Elliott, cornerback Trevon Diggs and left tackle Tyron Smith all available against the New England Patriots today in Foxvborough, Mass.
Another bit a good of news for the Cowboys? Safety Donovan Wilson is active after missing the past four games with a nagging groin injury. He played in the season opener but had been dealing with the injury since training camp.
Diggs, who leads the NFL with six interceptions, was limited in practice this week with an ankle injury. Elliott was dealing with sore ribs after landing on a camera-infused pylon in last week’s win over the Giants. Smith missed practice with a neck issue.
Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones said on the team’s pregame radio show on KRLD/105.3 FM “The Fan” that Diggs won’t be limited in playing time today. He also said Smith is in great shape, injury-wise.
“He’s got a situation that next week off will really be beneficial to him,” Jones said of Smith. “It’s something that can recover, feel better, heal if you will, but he’s going to work through this right there. He’s good to go.”
Defensive end Dorance Armstrong (ankle), defensive end Bradlee Anae, receiver Simi Fehoko, safety Israel Mukuamu and quarterback Will Grier are all inactive today.
The Cowboys (4-1) play the Patriots (2-3) at 3:25 p.m. and have a bye week next week. They next play at Minnesota on Oct. 31.
