A return for the veteran receiver is expected for Sunday\u2019s game against the Commanders. He will need to log a full practice by Saturday in order to cross that threshold.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI feel great,\u201d Cooks said on Wednesday. \u201cMy mindset is to go out there as if I didn\u2019t lose a step.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While\u00a0DaRon Bland has been activated\u00a0from the injured reserve for three weeks, the third-year cornerback and NFL interceptions leader from a year ago is expected to make his season debut on Sunday against Washington after suffering a foot fracture in training camp. He was a full participant in the team\u2019s walkthrough on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019ll be great to get him back out there, but this has been a tough return to play for him,\u201d head coach Mike McCarthy said. \u201cToday was a big day to have him out there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The practice window was also activated for rookie\u00a0defensive end Marshawn Kneeland\u00a0after missing five games with a partially torn meniscus in his right knee. He was also a limited walkthrough participant on Wednesday. The team is \u201chopeful\u201d he will be able to practice more later in the week in order to play on Sunday against Washington, according to a source.<\/p>\n<p>The team is also close to activating offensive lineman Chuma Edoga off the injured reserve. The sixth-year lineman hasn\u2019t played in a game this season after suffering a toe injury in training camp. He had his practice window opened ahead of the\u00a0team\u2019s loss to Houston\u00a0and could be used against Washington in the event that rookie Tyler Guyton\u2019s shoulder injury lingers on into the week. He was a full participant in the team\u2019s walkthrough on Wednesday and is expected to be put on the 53-man roster when a spot becomes available.<\/p>\n<p>Of the seven remaining players on the injured reserve, two are expected to return at some point in 2024.\u00a0Defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence\u00a0is trending toward a December return from his foot injury while cornerback Amani Oruwariye continues to go through rehab on a back injury with a return date not yet in mind.<\/p>\n<p>Quarterback Dak Prescott (hamstring), tight end John Stephens Jr. (knee), offensive lineman Nathan Thomas (knee), tackle Earl Bostick Jr. (ankle) and defensive end Sam Williams (knee) are all out for the season.\u00a0Safety Markques<a class=\"link \" href=\"https:\/\/www.star-telegram.com\/sports\/nfl\/dallas-cowboys\/article295828379.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-ylk=\"slk:Safety Markquese Bell;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-rapid_p=\"18\" data-v9y=\"1\">e Bell<\/a>\u00a0(shoulder) is expected to join that group after suffering a gruesome dislocated shoulder injury in Sunday\u2019s loss against the Texans.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s having surgery in the near future,\u201d McCarthy said on Bell. \u201cHe has done everything that he has been asked&#8230;We\u2019ll definitely miss him this year.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Brandin Cooks (3) catches a touchdown in the second quarter of the Thanksgiving NFL game between the Dallas Cowboys and the Washington Commanders&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":3117,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3109","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.8 -
