Three familiar names are one the inactive list as Jeff Health, Leighton Vander Esch, and Antwaun Woods will all miss tonight’s game against the Chicago Bears, as the Cowboys try to climb above .500 heading into the final stretch of the season.
One surprise was also added to the inactive list and will not play tonight in rookie Tony Pollard.

Pollard showed up on Tuesday’s injury report with an ankle injury. Look for Ezekiel Elliott to assume the full workload in Pollard’s absence. Jamize Olawale will be the only other full-time back expected to take handoffs.
Health continues to nurse a shoulder injury he suffered against the Patriots while Woods is still dealing with an MCL injury. It also remains to be seen whether Woods will face any disciplinary actions due to his arrest early Thursday morning. Vander Esch hasn’t played since suffering a neck injury in the team’s Week 11 win over the Detroit Lions.
Chris Covington will fill in for Antwaun Woods while Sean Lee will be manning the weakside for Vander Esch. Filling in for Heath will be Darian Thompson who is making his second consecutive start at strong safety.
All three defensive starters will miss their second straight game.
On the Bears side, they will be without Prince Amukamara as he continues to deal with a hamstring issue.
