While some families may be just sitting down at the Thanksgiving dinner table, the Cowboys are getting warmed up for their showdown with the Chiefs, hoping to notch their third straight win and continue
to build momentum as they push for a playoff spot. Now, we know who will and won’t be available at kickoff.
The big name here is Tyler Guyton, who is inactive. The left tackle was ruled out early in the week with an ankle injury he suffered against the Eagles on Sunday. Nate Thomas, who took his place during the game, is the anticipated replacement on Dak Prescott’s blind side.
The only other Cowboy to carry an injury designation into the game was Caelen Carson, who recently jumped into the starting lineup at outside cornerback. He suffered a hamstring injury that limited him in practice and, after trying to stretch it out on the field before the game, Carson will be inactive for today.
That puts him and Guyton on the inactive list alongside healthy scratches that include Jaydon Blue, Jay Toia, Perrion Winfrey, and Jonathan Mingo. Notably, Mingo made his season debut this past week, but now goes back to being inactive.
As for the Chiefs, they’ll be down a starter on the offensive line too. Guard Trey Smith injured his ankle in Sunday’s overtime win over the Colts and was ruled out earlier in the week. Noah Gray, the other tight end on this offense, is also inactive with a concussion.
