The Dallas Cowboys are wrapping up preparations for this weekend's primetime showdown against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday Night Football, which could be make or break for the team's season.

Entering the week, there were several key starters on the injury report, with players on both sides of the ball trying to get back onto the field for the crucial game.

“Generally speaking, everybody we have on our list has got a chance to step out there Sunday," Jones said, per Jon Machota of The Athletic.

On Thursday, the Cowboys had five starters either not participating or limited in practice. If they all have a chance to play, that would be great news for a team that needs to be at full strength down the final stretch of the year.

CeeDee Lamb has already cleared concussion protocol, so that was a step in the right direction. That is also great news for the secondary if both Trevon Diggs and Shavon Revel are able to go.

The biggest question marks remaining are starting left tackle Tyler Guyton and star tight end Jake Ferguson, who took a step back on Thursday. We will learn more about their statuses during Friday's session, but everyone will be hoping that Jones' words can become reality.
