Cowboys - 49ers: NFL Week 5 injury report: Will McCaffrey, Mitchell, Samuel, Parsons and Lamb play?
The injury report has become a significant factor in a crucial showdown between the Dallas Cowboys and the undefeated San Francisco 49ers.
The Cowboys have been dealing with their fair share of setbacks and have nine players on the injury list. This news undoubtedly adds extra complexity to an already highly anticipated matchup. The undefeated San Francisco 49ers have recently released their injury report, which unfortunately includes seven players.
San Francisco, the host squad, is strutting into the Sunday Night Football matchup like a confident peacock. Las Vegas oddsmakers are giving Dallas a 3.5-point head start, probably because they’re still recovering from the 49ers’ playoff knockout.
Week 5 injury report Cowboys vs 49ers?
In a recent clash against the Cardinals, the Dallas Cowboys’ versatile tight end, Peyton Hendershot, unfortunately, suffered an ankle injury that has kept him off the practice field ever since. In the latest update, it has been confirmed that Hendershot continues to dedicate himself to rehab. However, the unfortunate news is that he has been officially ruled out for the highly anticipated Sunday Night matchup.
In the realm of gridiron battles, the talented linebacker Damone Clark has found himself in a bit of a predicament. Throughout the week’s rigorous practice sessions, Clark has been unable to fully immerse himself in the action due to a nagging shoulder injury. This unfortunate setback has limited his participation on the field.
If Clark is unable to suit up on Sunday, the Cowboys find themselves in a rather precarious predicament. With only Leighton Vander Esch remaining as the sole linebacker from the initial 53-man roster, the team’s depth at that position becomes a major concern.
