Cowboys' first Week 7 injury report shows team nearing full strength for first time

To do that, the Cowboys will need to be as healthy as they can be entering a midseason battle with a rival.

On Wednesday, the team released the first injury report for Week 7, and fans are seeing something that has rarely been seen for what seems like the last few seasons: A healthy(ish) football team.

Everyone on the injury report participated in Wednesday's practice. While the majority were limited in practice, it is still nice to see that everyone could be a participant.

Seeing CeeDee Lamb, Tyler Booker, Tyler Smith, and KaVontae Turpin all back in action has the best offense in the league getting even better with the possibility of their return.

On the defensive side, seeing edge rusher James Houston as a full participant in practice is massive for the Cowboys' defense. Houston has dealt with injuries for most of his career, but has been relatively healthy since coming to Dallas.

Having Houston on Sunday will be important for the team.
