The Dallas Cowboys have their usual short turnaround for their annual Thanksgiving game, this time against the Buffalo Bills. The time to recuperate is short, so the load is lighter in terms of the mileage put on the players during practice.

The good news is that only two players were absent from Tuesday’s session, defensive tackle Antwaun Woods who has an injured knee and linebacker Leighton Vander Esch who is dealing with a neck injury of still unknown severity.


It’s a light practice, but Antwaun Woods and Leighton Vander Esch were the only guys not participating at Tuesday’s practice.

Jeff Heath, La’el Collins & Amari Cooper were all present.

The surprise participants have all been playing through injuries of varying severity. Safety Jeff Heath has two banged up shoulders, even leaving last week’s game against the New England Patriots. Offensive tackle La’el Collins has had ailments in his knee and back and has been on the injury report fairly consistently.

Finally, wide receiver Amari Cooper has disappeared from the official injury reports for the first time all season.

Dallas is 6-5 on the season and is still in control of their own destiny but are quickly running out of both goodwill and a margin of error. Having the healthiest team possible can go a long way into deciding their ultimate fate.
