Smith (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Commanders, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

Smith suffered an ankle injury during the Cowboys' Week 11 loss to the Texans. He opened the week with consecutive DNPs, and while he was able to practice Friday in a limited capacity, it wasn't enough for him to play Sunday. Smith's next chance to suit up will be Week 13 against the Giants on Thursday, Nov. 28. T.J. Bass is likely to start at left guard Sunday due to Smith's injury.

Thibodeaux (wrist) is active for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

The pass rusher was activated off injured reserve Saturday after missing the past five games with a broken scaphoid bone. Thibodeaux played on more than 70 percent of the defensive snaps in each of the five games he did play this season, recording 12 tackles (eight solo), including 2.0 sacks.

Kneeland is not among Dallas' inactives for Sunday's Week 12 game against Washington, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

Kneeland missed the Cowboys' last five games following knee surgery, but he was activated off IR on Saturday and is set to suit up against the Commanders. The rookie's workload had been inconsistent prior to his injury, as he had logged between 17 percent and 55 percent of Dallas' defensive snaps over the first four weeks. Kneeland will likely continue to play a rotational role now that he's back in action.

Amegadjie (calf) is inactive for Sunday's game against Minnesota.

Amegadjie will miss a fourth straight game due to a calf injury. He was able to practice in a limited capacity Friday, and while he won't play Sunday, there is a chance he could be available for the Bears' Week 13 game against the Lions on Thursday, Nov. 28.

Hardee (groin) is active for Sunday's game against the Texans, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Hardee was unable to play Week 11 due to a groin injury, but he'll be available Sunday after logging a limited practice Friday. He's played exclusively on special teams in his two regular-season outings and figures to do so again Week 12.

White (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

The starting defensive end suffered the injury during the Patriots' Week 11 loss to the Rams and was limited in practice all week leading up to this game. White has yet to miss a game this season, playing on at least 65 percent of the defensive snaps in each one. The 2023 second-round pick has 45 tackles (25 solo), including 5.0 sacks, five pass breakups and two forced fumbles in 2024.

Mapu (neck) is active for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

Mapu has played through a neck injury since mid-October, though he was inactive for the Patriots' Week 11 loss to the Rams. He practiced in a limited capacity all week, which was good enough for him to start at free safety Sunday alongside strong safety Kyle Dugger.

Carson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's contest versus the Commanders, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

Carson has started five games for Dallas this season, but he worked only on special teams last week against Houston and won't take the field at all in Week 12. His reduced role comes as DaRon Bland is set to make his season debut Sunday against Washington after missing the Cowboys' first 10 games while working his way back from a foot injury. It's still a bit surprising to see Carson as a healthy inactive, though, given that fellow cornerback Trevon Diggs is out for the matchup due to a groin issue.

Wirfs (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Wirfs sprained his MCL during the Buccaneers' Week 10 loss to the 49ers. He initially was listed as questionable for Sunday's game after practicing in a limited capacity all week but was downgraded to doubtful Saturday. Wirfs' next opportunity to suit up will be Week 13 against the Panthers on Sunday, Dec. 1. Justin Skule is the top candidate to start at left tackle due to Wirfs being sidelined.

Jennings (knee) is active for Sunday's matchup with the Dolphins.

The outside linebacker was limited in practice all week after likely picking up the injury during the Patriots' Week 11 loss to the Rams. The fourth-year pro has 50 tackles (32 solo), including 2.5 sacks, in 10 games this season.
