Eric Kendricks - Active against Atlanta Kendricks (shoulder) is active for Sunday's game against the Falcons.

Trevon Diggs - Active against Falcons Diggs (calf) is active for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Diggs is playing through a partial tear in his calf that has limited his ability to practice. However, he worked out on the field prior to Sunday's game against the Falcons and will be ready to suit up. Diggs' availability is a big boost for a Cowboys' defense that is already missing DaRon Bland (foot).

Parsons, Bland are held out with injuries as Cowboys are without Elliott in key test against Falcons
Running back Ezekiel Elliott is inactive as expected for Dallas at the Atlanta Falcons, leaving Rico Dowdle and Dalvin Cook to lead the struggling ground game as the Cowboys look t...NOVEMBER 3 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Ezekiel Elliott - Healthy scratch as expected Elliott (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Elliott will be a healthy scratch for the first time in his career. He has reportedly missed several team meetings throughout the season, with the most recent being Friday afternoon, per Jane Slater of NFL Network. As a result, Elliott and the team came to a mutual decision for him to not travel for Sunday's matchup against the Falcons. Rico Dowdle should see a heavy workload in Elliott's absence, while Dalvin Cook should also see some touches.

Eric Kendricks - Likely to play Sunday Kendricks (shoulder) remains listed as questionable but is expected to play Sunday against the Falcons, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact Though he was a limited participant in practice throughout the week while managing the shoulder issue, Kendricks' snap count shouldn't be dramatically affected Sunday, assuming he does in fact gain clearance to play. The Cowboys' leading tackler this season with 61 through six appearances, Kendricks has also recorded an interception and a forced fumble and chipped in two sacks in Dallas' Week 1 win over Cleveland.

Ezekiel Elliott - In line to be inactive Sunday Elliott is expected to be a healthy scratch for Sunday's game in Atlanta, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Archer cited disciplinary reasons as the reason for Elliott not making the trip from Dallas to Atlanta this weekend. As a result, Rico Dowdle is set to lead the Cowboys backfield Week 9, while practice-squad elevation Dalvin Cook and, to a lesser extent, Hunter Luepke will be the options behind Dowdle.

Dalvin Cook - Back on active roster The Cowboys elevated Cook from the practice squad Saturday in advance of Sunday's game in Atlanta.
Impact Cook saw his first action as a Cowboy last Sunday at San Francisco with Rico Dowdle sidelined due to an illness, ranking third in snaps (17 of 62) behind Ezekiel Elliott (28) and Hunter Luepke (25) out of the backfield. Cook's seven touches translated to only 22 yards from scrimmage, and with Dowdle back in action this weekend, it remains to be seen how the former may be involved in the offense.

Eric Kendricks - Questionable for Sunday Kendricks (shoulder) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Falcons.
Impact Kendricks played through his shoulder injury in the Cowboys' Week 8 loss to the Steelers, recording nine total tackles on 100.0 percent of the team's defensive snaps. He's expected to play through injury again in Week 9; however, if his condition worsened throughout the week, Buddy Johnson could step in and serve as the Cowboys' top middle linebacker.

DaRon Bland - Won't play Sunday Bland (foot) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Falcons.
Impact The third-year corner from Fresno State was activated from injured reserve Wednesday; however, it appears that his foot issue is still bothering him enough to miss the Cowboys' Week 9 contest. Bland's 2024 debut will have to wait at least one more week, with Andrew Booth and Caelen Carson expected to see increased work in the Cowboys' secondary in Bland's stead.

The 2021 first-round pick has recorded 14 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and defended one pass through four appearances this season. Expect Tyrus Wheat and Carl Lawson to see increased work with the Cowboys' first-team defense while Parsons remains sidelined in Week 9.
