Despite Stephon Gilmore and Tyler Smith dealing with injuries this week, the only Cowboys player questionable to play is Cooper Rush, who is dealing with an illness.
If Rush isn’t available and can’t play on Sunday, Trey Lance will act as the team’s backup quarterback. However, Lance has not been active for a game all season.

Gilmore is dealing with a shoulder issue since it was popped back into place against the Commanders. Meanwhile, Smith is dealing with a full tear of his plantar fascia.
Both Gilmore and Smith practiced this week in some capacity, so it doesn’t seem that their snap counts will be impacted in this game.
Green Bay Packers
Practice Squad Elevations:
- CB David Long Jr.
The Packers not having the dynamic threat of Aaron Jones and AJ Dillion will impact how they scheme the run.
But with Dillion not having practiced all week, it was expected that he would be doubtful about playing this week.
As for the other side of the ball, they added depth with David Long Jr. in their secondary, especially with Alexander listed as questionable.
The middle of the field could be a vulnerable position for the Packer’s defense in this game.
