Dallas Cowboys announce inactives for Week 6 vs. Detroit Lions
The Dallas Cowboys (3-2) have released their list of inactives for Sunday’s Week 6 home tilt against the Detroit Lions (3-1).
Dallas’ defense will be tested against the league’s No. 3 ranked offense, as they will be without linebacker Micah Parsons, cornerback Daron Bland, defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence, linebacker Marshawn Kneeland, cornerback Caelon Carson and linebacker Eric Kendricks.
Kendricks is the newest addition to the injury list, as the 32-year-old is dealing with a calf and shoulder injury. Kendricks is the Cowboys’ leading tackler with 52 (24 solo) on the season and is the green dot on the defense.
“We’ll take until Saturday, see how we come off the field tomorrow, obviously exercising everybody with a potential to play,” head coach Mike McCarthy said earlier this week.

Cowboys defense dealing with numerous injuries heading into Week 6
Nick Vigil, questionable with a foot injury, will suit up and replace Kendricks in the middle of Dallas’ defense. Damone Clark and Darius Harris, called up from the practice squad, are candidates to help fill the void.
“Obviously, you got guys like Damone Clark who we’re wanting to back in the groove. We’ve got [Darius] Harris,” executive vice president Stephen Jones told 105.3 The Fan, via the team’s official website. “We’ve got a good group of guys there that hopefully can step up.”
