Carson (shoulder/illness) was a full participant in Friday's practice, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
Carson opened the Cowboys' week of practice with a DNP due to a shoulder injury and an illness. However, it appears he's already moved past both issues ahead of Monday night's matchup against the Texans. Expect the rookie corner from Wake Forest to play behind both Trevon Diggs and DaRon Bland (foot) in Week 11.

Rotowire
Thomas (concussion) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
The safety suffered the concussion during Dallas' Week 9 loss to Atlanta, sat out of practice last week while in concussion protocols, and then missed the Cowboys' Week 10 loss to the Eagles. Thomas appears on track to return for the team's Monday night clash with Houston this week. The second-year pro has played on 32 defensive snaps and 179 special-teams snaps in eight games this season, making seven tackles (six solo) and forcing a fumble.

Cowboys' DeMarvion Overshown: Logs full practice Thursday
Rotowire
Overshown (knee) was a full practice participant Thursday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
Overshown underwent X-rays on his knee following the Cowboys' Week 10 loss to the Eagles. He was diagnosed with bursitis in his right knee, but that doesn't appear to be a major issue as he was able to practice Thursday without limitations. Unless he suffers a setback, Overshown should suit up against Houston on Monday. In the three games since Dallas' Week 7 bye, Overshown has logged 26 tackles (14 solo), including 3.0 sacks.

Cowboys' Caelen Carson: Working through shoulder issue
Rotowire
Carson (shoulder/illness) did not practice Thursday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
After missing four regular-season games due to a shoulder injury, Carson has played in the Cowboys' last two games and has logged 12 tackles (10 solo) and two pass defenses over that span. However, his lingering shoulder issue and an illness caused him to sit out of Thursday's practice. Carson's practice participation over the next two days will indicate whether he'll play Monday against the Texans.

Cowboys' Jourdan Lewis: Dealing with neck injury
Rotowire
Lewis (neck) did not practice Thursday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
Lewis logged four tackles (two solo) during the Cowboys' Week 10 loss to the Eagles, but it appears he may have picked up a neck injury in the process. The 2017 third-round pick will have two more chances to practice ahead of Monday's game against the Texans. In the three regular-season games since the Cowboys' Week 7 bye, Lewis has logged 17 tackles (nine solo).

Cowboys' DaRon Bland: Remains sidelined with foot injury
Rotowire
Bland (foot) was listed as a DNP on Thursday's injury report, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
Bland's 21-day practice window to return from injured reserve opened Oct. 30, but the 2022 fifth-round pick has failed to return to practice since. If he's not activated off IR by Nov. 20, Bland would be forced to spend the rest of the 2024 regular season on IR. At this point, it appears unlikely that he will be able to play against the Texans on Monday.

Cowboys' Marist Liufau: Solid game in relief
Rotowire
Liufau recorded five tackles (four solo) and a fumble recovery in Sunday's 34-6 loss to the Eagles.
The outside linebacker replaced starter DeMarvion Overshown after the latter exited the game with a knee injury in the third quarter. Overshown's injury is not believed to be serious, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. That could limit Liufau's playing time moving forward, as he has only played on more than 50 percent of the defensive snaps once this season.

Cowboys' Eric Kendricks: Active in defeat
Rotowire
Kendricks recorded eight tackles (four solo) in Sunday's 34-6 loss to the Eagles.
The middle linebacker also played on 88 percent of the defensive snaps. Kendricks has 78 tackles (37 solo), including 2.0 sacks, two passes defensed, including an interception, and two forced fumbles in 2024. The veteran recorded more than 100 tackles in each of his previous eight seasons.

Cowboys' Micah Parsons: Records two sacks in loss
Rotowire
Parsons recorded 2.0 sacks in Sunday's 34-6 loss to the Eagles.
The pass rusher also played on 54 percent of the defensive snaps in his first game back after missing the previous four contests due to a high-ankle sprain. Parsons is up to 16 tackles (13 solo), including 3.0 sacks, on the season. He also has a pass breakup and a forced fumble.

Cowboys' Sam Williams: Suspension lifted
Rotowire
The NFL lifted Williams' (knee) suspension Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Williams' three-game suspension without pay was cut short Monday, as the NFL lifted it after just two contests. However, the third-year pro from Ole Miss will remain on injured reserve and be sidelined for the rest of the year after tearing his ACL in training camp.
Overshown's X-rays on his knee following Sunday's game versus the Eagles came back negative, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Overshown was diagnosed with bursitis in his right knee, which doesn't seem like it should keep him off the field for too long. Dallas' first official practice report of the week Thursday should provide more information related to his potential availability for a Week 11 Monday night clash against the Texans.

Cowboys' DeMarvion Overshown: Leading tackler in loss
Rotowire
Overshown (knee) recorded a team-high 11 tackles, including 2.0 sacks, in Sunday's loss to the Eagles.
The second-year linebacker, who missed his entire rookie campaign due to a torn ACL, put together the first multi-sack game of his career while tying his career high in tackles. Overshown left the game midway through the third quarter after a rough landing on his knee, but per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, the injury isn't thought to be serious. Overshown seems likely to be back in the lineup for a Week 11 clash with the Texans.

Cowboys' DeMarvion Overshown: Questionable to return Sunday
Rotowire
Overshown (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the Eagles, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
Overshown suffered a knee injury in the third quarter and his status for the rest of the game is now up in the air. If Overshown is unable to return, Marist Liufau will likely see the majority of the snaps at strongside linebacker.

Cowboys' Trevon Diggs: Good to go for Week 10
Rotowire
Diggs (calf) is active for Sunday's game against the Eagles.
Diggs was held out of Friday's practice due to an illness, but it isn't serious enough for him to be sidelined for Sunday's contest. He was limited in practice to start the week due to a calf injury, and while he'll suit up for Week 10, he's unlikely playing at 100 percent health.

Cowboys' Micah Parsons: Officially active for Week 10
Rotowire
Parsons (ankle) is not on the Cowboys' inactive list for Sunday's game against the Eagles.
Parsons will return Sunday from a four-game absence due to a high-ankle sprain he suffered in Week 4 against the Giants, though the 2021 first-round pick is expected to operate on a snap count, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Parsons' return solidifies the Cowboys' defensive front along with starters Chauncey Golston, Mazi Smith and Osa Odighizuwa.

Cowboys' Eric Kendricks: Will play Sunday
Rotowire
Kendricks (shoulder) is active for Sunday's game against the Eagles.
Kendricks ended the week with consecutive limited practices, and while he's unlikely to be at 100 percent health, the 2015 second-round pick will play through a shoulder injury Sunday. Across seven regular-season games, Kendricks has logged 70 tackles (33 solo), including 2.0 sacks, two pass defenses (including one interception) and two forced fumbles.

Cowboys' Trevon Diggs: Should play Sunday
Rotowire
Diggs (calf) is listed as questionable but is expected to play in Sunday's game against the Eagles, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Diggs was listed as a limited participant in practices Wednesday and Thursday due to the calf injury before he was held out of Friday's session entirely due to an illness. He cleared up most of the concern about his overall health by taking part in Saturday's team walk-through session without issue, so he's expected to be officially cleared when Dallas releases its inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff.

Cowboys' Micah Parsons: Expected to return Sunday
Rotowire
Parsons (ankle) is listed as questionable but is expected to play in Sunday's contest versus Philadelphia, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Parsons suffered a high-ankle sprain in Week 4 against the Giants and has missed Dallas' subsequent four contests. He was able to log a trio of limited practices this week, setting up his expected return to action Sunday. Parsons' return will likely result in Tyrus Wheat seeing fewer snaps on defense.

Cowboys' Juanyeh Thomas: Won't play against Philadelphia
Rotowire
Thomas (concussion) did not practice Friday and has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
Thomas was diagnosed with a concussion during the Cowboys' Week 9 loss to the Falcons. He was unable to practice all week while in concussion protocols, and his next chance to suit up will be Week 11 against the Texans on Monday, Nov. 18. Markquese Bell and Israel Mukuamu will see more rotational snaps at safety Sunday behind starters Donovan Wilson and Malik Hooker.

Cowboys' Eric Kendricks: Chance to play in Week 10
Rotowire
Kendricks (shoulder) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Eagles, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
Kendricks opened Dallas' week of practice with a DNP, but he upgraded to limited work both Thursday and Friday, suggesting he's trending toward playing Sunday. However, if the veteran linebacker can't play through his shoulder injury in Week 10, expect Buddy Johnson to see increased work with the Cowboys' first-team defense.
