Cowboys Final Injury Practice Report (KaVontae Turpin OUT?) as Commanders Sit Stars
FRISCO - The Washington Commanders might want a "good taste in their mouths'' to close the year but really have nothing to play for in Week 18 against the Dallas Cowboys. The traveling Cowboys are still not only "going for it'' regarding a top slot in the NFL Playoffs, but also seek the momentum that comes with a victory.
And to some degree, the final injury practice lists released by the Cowboys and the Commanders might reflect those conflicting goals.
Look at 7-8-1 Washington's lengthy list of guys who will not go ...

DT Jonathan Allen (Knee)
OL Saahdiq Charles (Concussion)
OL Cornelius Lucas (Ankle)
RB Brian Robinson Jr. (Knee)

DE Montez Sweat (Illness)
And now consider the 12-4 Cowboys' list ... with a KaVontae Turpin DNP illness the only jump-out issue ..
This is a Dallas squad playing for the shot at the NFC East Division title and potentially the No. 1 seed in the conference, and it will be doing it against a rookie quarterback in Sam Howell who won't have some key players on the field with him. ...
Unlike the Cowboys - who are 7.5-point favorites for Sunday afternoon at FedEx and hope to load up with almost all hands on-deck for a win that might matter.
