John Stephens Jr. - Shifts to IR The Cowboys placed Stephens (knee) on injured reserve Saturday, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
Impact Stephens is done for the 2024 season after suffering a left ACL tear in practice Wednesday. He missed the entire 2023 campaign due to an ACL tear in the same knee, a reality that leaves the 2023 UDFA out of Louisiana with a difficult road to recovery. He remains under contract with Dallas through the 2025 season.

Dalvin Cook - To be elevated to active roster Cook was elevated from the practice squad Saturday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Impact It's a bit surprising it's taken this long for Cook to be elevated from the practice squad given Dallas' inefficiencies at running back, but the delay might speak more to the veteran's abilities at this point in his career than anything else. Given Ezekiel Elliott (3.0 yards per carry) and Deuce Vaughn (2.9 yards per carry) have been woefully insufficient, Cook getting any sort of work likely won't come at the expense of Rico Dowdle, who has been easily the best of a poor group or running back options.

Jordan Phillips - Won't be activated ahead of Week 8 Phillips (wrist) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the 49ers, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Phillips' 21-day window to return from injured reserve opened Wednesday. He was a full practice participant all week, but the Cowboys will err on the side of caution and hold the 2015 second-round pick out for at least one more week. Barring any setbacks, Phillips should be on track to make his return for the Cowboys' Week 9 contest against the Falcons on Sunday, Nov. 3. In the meantime, Linval Joseph and Carlos Watkins will continue to serve as Dallas' backup interior defensive lineman behind starters Mazi Smith and Osa Odighizuwa.

Caelen Carson - Draws questionable tag Carson (shoulder) was a full participant during Friday's practice and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Carson has been able to log three consecutive full practices this week, and although he's tagged as questionable, the rookie fifth-round pick is leaning towards the probable side of playing Sunday. He missed the Cowboys' last three regular-season games due to a shoulder injury, but assuming he plays Sunday, he should reclaim his starting corner job alongside Trevon Diggs.

DaRon Bland - Inactive against 49ers Bland (foot) is out for Sunday's matchup against the 49ers, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Bland was unable to practice this entire week, making his inactive status not much of a surprise as Dallas travels to San Francisco. The 6-foot cornerback is nearing the end of his 21-day evaluation window, meaning the Cowboys will have to decide by Monday whether to move him to the active roster or keep him on injured reserve for the rest of the season.

Micah Parsons - Missing third straight game Parsons (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Even with a Week 7 bye to aid in his recovery from a sprained left ankle, Parsons will miss a third consecutive game Sunday after he was unable to practice in any fashion this week. In Parsons' continued absence, Tyrus Wheat, Chauncey Golson, Carl Lawson and KJ Henry will serve as the Cowboys' primary edge rushers.

Micah Parsons - Still not practicing Parsons (ankle) did not practice Thursday, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
Impact Even with the Cowboys coming off a Week 7 bye, Parsons has logged back-to-back DNPs to open the week, and it appears unlikely that he'll be able to play Sunday against the 49ers. Parsons is dealing with a high-ankle sprain that he sustained during the Cowboys' Week 4 win over the Giants.
