Dallas Cowboys, Los Angeles Chargers release final injury, game status report ahead of Monday Night Football

The Cowboys need a big bounce back after their dreadful showing against the 49ers last Sunday. And when they hit the West Coast for a MNF game with the Chargers, they’ll be relatively healthy.

The Cowboys released their Saturday injury report before Monday’s game against the Chargers. And the only players who should miss the game are linebacker Leighton Vander Esch (neck) and special team star C.J. Goodwin (torn pectoral). Both players are facing at least several weeks of game inactivity.

On Saturday’s report, defensive back Juanyeh Thomas is the only player listed as doubtful for the Chargers, although there are numerous Cowboys who don’t have a game status specified.

“I think our health has trended in the right direction,’’ Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy told reporters in a Saturday teleconference. “I don’t have high concern for many of these guys.’’

Offensive lineman Chuma Edoga,, who is sick with an unspecified illness, is questionable for the Chargers. But McCarthy said the backup lineman is expected to be back by Sunday.
