Injuries Plague Dallas Cowboys Ahead of Christmas Matchup

As the Dallas Cowboys gear up to face the Washington Commanders on Christmas Day, they are dealing with significant injury issues that could affect their performance. The Cowboys listed 15 players on their estimated injury report, with notable absences including left tackle Tyler Guyton, who has missed the last four games due to an ankle injury, and linebacker DeMarvion Overshown, who is in concussion protocol after leaving the recent game against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Both players did not participate in practice, and expectations are low for their availability against the Commanders. Additionally, running back Phil Mafah, cornerbacks Josh Butler and Caelen Carson, and defensive tackle Quinnen Williams are all dealing with injuries but were estimated as limited participants in practice, according to Pro Football Talk.

The injury woes extend to the Commanders, who are also missing key players like quarterback Marcus Mariota, who has stitches in his hand and a quad injury, and defensive tackle Daron Payne, who is dealing with a back injury.

With both teams eliminated from playoff contention, the outcome will heavily depend on how well each team manages their injury issues leading up to this matchup, as noted by Blogging The Boys.
