[seestyle]

FRISCO, Texas -- Overall, the are on the mend. The trio of No. 2 wide receiver (knee), safety (calf) and left guard (hamstring) are all active on Sunday against the Cardinals. Wilson and Smith will make their 2023 season debuts. Offensive lineman (elbow), who has been filling in for Smith, is also active, as is safety(illne s).However, the two players to not practice Friday morning, outside of Pro Bowl cornerback Trevon Diggs who-- eight-time Pro Bowler and six-time First-Team All-Pro right guardand Pro Bowl center Tyler Sandy Koufax Jersey Biadasz -- are two critical inactives for the Cowboys' Week 3 game at the Arizona Cardinals. The inactives at Arizona:#24 Israel Mukuamu (S)#37 Eric Scott (CB)#63 Tyler Biadasz (C)#70 Zack Martin (G)#83 Jalen Brooks (WR)#93 Viliami Fehoko Jr Andre Ethier Jersey . (DL)#15 Trey Lance (emergency third QB) Dallas Cowboys Public Relations (@DallasCowboysPR) The Cowboys elevated two centers, Brock Hoffman (a second-year undrafted free agent who has played in five career games) and Sean Harlow (a 28-year-old veteran who has eight career starts since entering the NFL as a fourth-round pick of the Atlanta Falcons in 2017) from their practice on Saturday. With Hoffman snapping the football to quarterback Dak Prescott in warmups, , it appears he will start in place of Biadasz. Meanwhile, undrafted rookie offensive lineman T.J. Ba s is in line for his first career start in Week 3, replacing Martin. He has allowed one quarterback pre sure on 17 pa s-blocking snaps.McCarthy gushed when talking about Donovan Wilson's impact as earlier this week and is surely fired up about the safety making his 2023 season debut on Sunday. Dallas signed him to Pedro Baez Jersey a . Wilson, 28, led the team with 101 tackles and ranked fifth in sacks with 5.0 in 2022. "Dono van Wilson is an impact player," McCarthy said Wednesday. "His teammates feed off his play style, and he is a big part of our standard for how we play on defense. So, he'll be ready to get back out there soon , and we'll see exactly where we are. You feel for Donovan Wilson."Wilson's versatility as a tackler and pa s rusher from the safety position is historically unique as his 2022 season made him only the fourth defensive back to total over 100 tackles (101) and five or more sacks (5.0) in a single season since combined tackles have been tracked beginning in 1987. He joins Hall of Fame safety Rod Woodson's 1992 season, retired Pro Bowl safety Rodney Harrison's 2000 season and retired Pro Bowl safety Adrian Wilson's 2005 Chase Utley Jersey season. Not bad company at all.

LG Tyler Smith (hamstring), who like Wilson has yet to play for the in 2023, was also practicing with the rest of the o-line today . Garrett Podell (@garrettpodell) Cooks appears to be mostly over his MCL sprain,. The veteran is dealing with a Grade 1 strain, but the team didn't view this as a multiweek injury,, and his injury status reflects that. Cooks said a week ago that if he is out on the field, he is playing with "no limitations."
