The Detroit Lions and Dallas Cowboys have a total of three players questionable and another three ruled out between them ahead of their Week 6 game on Sunday at AT&T Stadium.
After dealing with several injuries over the past few weeks, the Lions' injury report was nice and short this week. Of the four players listed, only one of them carries a designation, which is rookie offensive lineman Christian Mahogany, who is out.
Detroit will be getting back two key players, one on each side of the ball. Center Frank Ragnow is back after a one-game absence due to a pec injury, and defensive back Brian Branch is returning after missing last week with an illness.
For Dallas, they're set to be without their best player, linebacker Micah Parsons, for a second straight game. The Cowboys are also without edge rusher DeMarcus Lawrence, who was placed on injured reserve last week.
Along with Parsons, the Cowboys are suffering another blow to their defense with the injury to linebacker Eric Kendricks, who won't play. However, there is at least a chance that cornerback DaRon Bland makes his return, as he's questionable.
“I feel pretty good," Bland said during the week. "As far as coming back (in Week 6), time will tell. We’re gonna see.”
Bland is still on injured reserve, so he'll have to be activated first. He logged two full practices to start the week, but the fact that he didn't practice on Friday suggests he might need more time. We should know by Saturday.
Now, the full injury report for both teams ahead of Sunday's contest.
