The Dallas Cowboys have revealed their inactive players for Sunday’s game against the Atlanta Falcons. Dallas will be without a couple of key contributors on both sides of the ball. Sunday’s kickoff is set for 1 p.m. ET.

Cowboys inactive players vs. Falcons

LT Tyron Smith, WR Simi Fehoko, QB Will Grier, SS Israel Mukuamu, DT Quinton Bohanna.

Tyron Smith, the Cowboys left tackle, has been dealing with an ankle issue for multiple weeks now. Smith played in Week 9 against the Vikings before leaving with an injury. He did not play last week in the Cowboys loss to the Denver Broncos.

Some other key offensive contributors have also been dealing with some injuries over the last week. Quarterback Dak Prescott is fully healthy after returning against the Broncos last week. Wide receiver Cedric Wilson carried a questionable designation into the weekend. Wilson has been dealing with a shoulder injury.

Amari Cooper (hamstring) was limited in practice this week but does not carry an injury designation into the weekend. Running back Ezekiel Elliott practiced in full on Friday after being limited Wednesday and Thursday. The Cowboys also activated receiver Michael Gallup from injured reserve this week.

On the defensive side of the ball, star defensive end Randy Gregory was placed on injured reserve this week with a calf injury. He will now be inactive for the Cowboys against the Falcons. Gregory’s injury will likely result in an increase in playing time for rookie linebacker/edge Micah Parsons.

Dexter Lawrence has only played in one game this season, the season opener against Tampa Bay. He has been working his way back from a foot injury, and he is still not ready to return for the Cowboys.

The Falcons will be without defensive back Kendall Sheffield (hamstring), as he is inactive against the Cowboys. Linebacker Steven Means (knee), tight end Lee Smith (back) and defensive lineman Jonathan Bullard (concussion) will all be out as well.

The Cowboys are 6-2 and have a commanding lead in the race for the NFC East title.
