Cowboys injury report: Ferguson, Diggs and Lamb no injury status, will play vs. Ravens

The Dallas Cowboys head into their final preparations for their big game against the Baltimore Ravens. This weekend presents the Cowboys with a few intriguing storylines. First, Dak Prescott gets a head-to-head matchup with reigning MVP Lamar Jackson. Prescott was odds-on favorite for the award for much of last season until Jackson swooped in late last season to claim his second MVP trophy. With a win, Prescott and the Cowboys can get retroactive satisfaction and send the Ravens to a dismal 0-3 hole to begin 2024. Also, the Ravens and Cowboys have played six times, with the Cowboys’ lone win in the series coming in 2016 during Prescott’s and Ezekiel Elliott’s rookie season. Before the big game, here’s the latest injury update for both teams.

Jake Ferguson was upgraded to full participation with a knee injury and does not have an injury designation for this week’s game. Furthermore, CeeDee Lamb (ankle) and Trevon Diggs were also listed as full participants with no injury status for Sunday. After posting DNPs on Wednesday and Thursday, Mazi Smith was a limited participant on Friday. Head coach Mike McCarthy said Smith’s status for the game is “full steam ahead”, giving a positive outlook on Smith’s availability, but still is questionable to play. Wide receiver Jalen Brooks was downgraded yesterday to limited and was again limited Friday. He also is questionable.

Ravens offensive tackle Ronnie Stanley practiced in full for a second consecutive day. Coach John Harbaugh has already stated that Stanley will play. Safety Kyle Hamilton took full part in today’s practice limited a back injury and is expected to play versus the Cowboys. Malaesalea Aumavae-Laulu has been ruled out for a personal reason.
