Chauncey Golston - Returns to Sunday's game Golston has returned to Sunday's Week 12 contest against the Commanders after temporarily exiting in the first quarter due to dehydration, Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth St...

Impact Golston went to the locker room briefly but was able to re-enter the game in the second quarter. He made a big play soon after his return, ripping the ball out of Washington running back Brian Robinson's grasp for an interception that he advanced 18 yards.

Chauncey Golston - Exits due to dehydration Golston is questionable to return to Sunday's Week 12 game against Washington due to dehydration, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Impact Golston headed to the locker room in the first quarter and was subsequently deemed questionable to return. The fourth-year pro has been a staple on Dallas' defensive line of late, logging at least 82 percent of the team's defensive snaps in four straight contests following the Cowboys' Week 7 bye. Carl Lawson and Marshawn Kneeland could get increased work if Golston is unable to return Sunday.

Chuma Edoga - Active for Week 12 Edoga (toe) is active for Sunday's game against Washington, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Edoga opened the regular season on injured reserve due to a toe issue, but he will make his 2024 debut Sunday after logging full practices all week. With Zach Martin (ankle) and Tyler Smith (ankle) both ruled out, Edoga could be inserted into the starting lineup for Sunday's NFC East contest.

Tyler Smith - Won't play Week 12 Smith (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Commanders, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Smith suffered an ankle injury during the Cowboys' Week 11 loss to the Texans. He opened the week with consecutive DNPs, and while he was able to practice Friday in a limited capacity, it wasn't enough for him to play Sunday. Smith's next chance to play will be Week 13 against the Giants on Thursday, Nov. 28. T.J. Bass is likely to start at left guard Sunday due to Smith's injury.

Marshawn Kneeland - Making return Sunday Kneeland is not among Dallas' inactives for Sunday's Week 12 game against Washington, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Kneeland missed the Cowboys' last five games following knee surgery, but he was activated off IR on Saturday and is set to suit up against the Commanders. The rookie's workload had been inconsistent prior to his injury, as he had logged between 17 percent and 55 percent of Dallas' defensive snaps over the first four weeks. Kneeland will likely continue to play a rotational role now that he's back in action.

Caelen Carson - Healthy scratch for Week 12 Carson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's contest versus the Commanders, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Carson has started five games for Dallas this season, but he worked only on special teams last week against Houston and won't take the field at all in Week 12. His reduced role comes as DaRon Bland is set to make his season debut Sunday against Washington after missing the Cowboys' first 10 games while working his way back from a foot injury. It's still a bit surprising to see Carson as a healthy inactive, though, given that fellow cornerback Trevon Diggs is out for the matchup due to a groin issue.

Deuce Vaughn - Not playing Week 12 Vaughn (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's clash against the Commanders, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Vaughn will be a healthy scratch for the second time in the past three weeks, leaving Rico Dowdle and Ezekiel Elliott to handle the work in Dallas' backfield along with fullback Hunter Luepke. Vaughn has been inefficient as a ball carrier in his limited opportunities this season, gaining just 33 yards on 11 carries while adding 18 yards on three receptions.

Week 12 of the NFL season continued on Sunday. Here are the top plays of the day from start to finish.

Zack Martin - Not playing Sunday Martin (ankle/shoulder) will not travel with the team and has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Commanders, Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram repor...

Impact The veteran guard will miss just his third game since 2022. One of the league's ironmen among offensive lineman, Martin will likely be replaced by T.J. Bass for Week 12.

16 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Chuma Edoga - Comes off IR Edoga (toe) was activated off injured reserve Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Zack Martin (ankle) is out Sunday against the Commanders and opposite starting guard Tyler Smith (ankle) is questionable, so Edoga could find himself shuffled into the starting lineup potentially should the Cowboys suffer any more injuries to its offensive line.

16 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Markquese Bell - Shifts to IR Bell (shoulder) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Impact This was an expected transaction after the rotational safety suffered a gruesome dislocated shoulder back in Week 11. Bell was widely regarded as one of the better special teams aces in the league, so his absence will be missed.

16 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Princeton Fant - Elevated for Week 12 The Cowboys elevated Fant from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Impact Fant will be elevated from the practice squad for a second straight week. In Week 11 against the Texans, Fant logged 22 snaps (five on offense, 17 on special teams) and failed to record a stat. He will serve as the Cowboys' No. 3 tight end behind Luke Schoonmaker and Brevyn Spann-Ford for Sunday's game against the Commanders due to Jake Ferguson (concussion) being ruled out.

18 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Marshawn Kneeland - Activated off IR The Cowboys activated Kneeland (knee) from injured reserve Saturday, and he is expected to play against the Commanders on Sunday, Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegr...

Impact Kneeland suffered a partially torn meniscus in his knee during the Cowboys' Week 5 win over the Steelers, which required him to undergo surgery and be placed on injured reserve. His 21-day practice window opened Wednesday, and after logging limited practices all week, he was activated off IR on Saturday. Kneeland could see limited snaps on defense Sunday while working his way back up to game speed following a five-game absence.

18 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Trevon Diggs - Won't play vs. Commanders Diggs (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Washington, Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Impact Diggs was first listed on the Cowboys' injury report Thursday due to knee and groin injuries, which limited his practice participation in each of the last two sessions of the week. Diggs was initially listed as questionable for Sunday's NFC East clash, but he will not travel with the team to Washington, and his next chance to play will be in Week 13 against the Giants on Thursday, Nov. 28. The Cowboys will be getting reinforcements in the secondary in the form of cornerback DaRon Bland, who will make his 2024 regular-season debut Sunday after missing Dallas' first 10 games due to a foot injury he suffered in late August.

Brandin Cooks - Not returning in Week 12 Cooks (knee) was not activated by the Cowboys on Saturday and will not play against the Commanders on Sunday, Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Impact A right knee infection landed Cooks on injured reserve Oct. 5, and he's since missed more than the required four games. The veteran receiver was designated to return from IR on Wednesday and was able to participate in a limited fashion in all three of Dallas' practices this week, though Friday was a walkthrough session. Despite his return to practice, Cooks isn't ready to return to the field against Washington on Sunday, but there's a possibility he could be activated ahead of next Thursday's Thanksgiving game against the Giants.

23 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Marshawn Kneeland - Deemed questionable for Week 12 Kneeland (knee) is officially questionable for Sunday's matchup versus Washington, Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Impact Kneeland underwent knee surgery in early October and has been on injured reserve since. He was designated to return Wednesday and logged a trio of limited practices this week. Kneeland is still on IR, so he would need to be activated in order to play Sunday against the Commanders.

Hunter Luepke - Past calf issue Luepke (calf) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Commanders, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Impact Luepke appeared to be in jeopardy of the missing the Week 12 divisional matchup after opening the Cowboys' week of practice with an estimated DNP. However, he practiced in a limited capacity Thursday before logging a full session Friday, indicating that he's recovered from his calf injury. Expect the second-year pro from North Dakota State to serve as Dallas' top fullback Sunday.

Jourdan Lewis - Ready to rock Lewis (neck) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Commanders, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Impact Lewis opened the Cowboys' week of practice with consecutive limited sessions due to a neck injury, but he upgraded to full participation Friday, suggesting that he's moved past the issue in time for Sunday's divisional matchup. With Lewis back at full health, he's expected to serve as Dallas' top slot corner in Week 12.

Trevon Diggs - Questionable for Week 12 Diggs (groin/knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Commanders, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Impact Diggs popped up on the Cowboys' injury report Thursday with groin and knee issues, logging two consecutive limited sessions to end Dallas' week of practice. If he's able to suit up in Week 12, he'll start opposite DaRon Bland for the first time in 2024. However, if Diggs is sidelined Sunday for the first time this season, Caelen Carson will likely start in his place opposite Bland.

1 DAY AGO • ROTOWIRE

Luke Schoonmaker - Poised for bigger role Sunday Schoonmaker will stand to take on a bigger role than normal Sunday at Washington with Jake Ferguson (concussion) ruled out for the contest, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Ferguson lasted seven offensive snaps during Monday's game against the Texans before departing with a concussion. The development freed up more work for other Cowboys tight ends, as Schoonmaker led the position in snap share (53 percent) and targets (10), while Brevyn Spann-Ford earned 49 and five, respectively. Such a breakdown implies Schoonmaker will share the load rather than take on Ferguson's outsized role (typically, at least 75 percent of snaps in five of his previous six healthy appearances). Still, Schoonmaker's 10 targets translated to six catches for 56 yards Week 11, so he should be plenty busy behind No. 1 WR CeeDee Lamb.

1 DAY AGO • ROTOWIRE

DaRon Bland - Making 2024 debut in Week 12 Bland (foot) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Commanders, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Impact Bland practiced in full all week and is now in line to make his 2024 debut Sunday after missing Dallas' first 10 games this season due to a foot injury sustained in late August. The third-year corner from Fresno State earned first-team All-Pro honors in 2023, recording 69 total tackles and 15 passes defended, including nine interceptions (and five pick-sixes) across 17 regular-season games. If Trevon Diggs (groin/knee) is able to suit up in Week 12, the Cowboys will have their top outside cornerback duo for the first time this season.

Brandin Cooks - May return Sunday Cooks (knee), who remains on injured reserve, is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest at Washington, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Impact Cooks required an IR stint, starting Week 5, due to an infection that developed in his right knee following a surgical procedure. Since he was designated to return from injured reserve Tuesday, he sandwiched a pair of limited walkthroughs around Thursday's capped practice. The Cowboys will need to activate Cooks by 4:00 p.m. ET on Saturday in order for him to have a chance to play Sunday. If that comes to pass, he could be eased into the mix behind top WR CeeDee Lamb (back/foot), who followed an LP/DNP/FP practice regimen this week and doesn't have a game designation.
