Cowboys vs. Packers Injury Report: Prescott, Smith Jr. Questionable; Lazard Out
Cowboys
Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott and safety Jaylon Smith are both questionable for Sunday's game against the Packers. Prescott has been dealing with a calf injury, while Smith is nursing a concussion.
Prescott is hoping to play, but the Cowboys will likely make a game-time decision on his status. If Prescott can't play, Cooper Rush will start in his place.
Smith is also expected to play, but he will need to clear the NFL's concussion protocol before he can be cleared to play.
Packers
Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard has been ruled out for Sunday's game with an ankle injury. Lazard is the Packers' leading receiver this season, so his absence will be a big blow to the offense.
The Packers will also be without cornerback Kevin King, who is on injured reserve with a shoulder injury.
Other Injuries
Other injuries to watch for this week include:
- Cowboys: LT Tyron Smith (ankle), G Zack Martin (knee), DE Randy Gregory (ankle)
- Packers: OT David Bakhtiari (knee), G Elgton Jenkins (ankle), DL Kenny Clark (ankle)
Conclusion
The Cowboys and Packers are both relatively healthy heading into this matchup. However, the injuries to Prescott and Lazard could have a significant impact on the outcome of the game.
