Three key Dallas Cowboys, who were on the COVID-19 List and missed Week 18 against the Philadelphia Eagles, are now back with the team.
Now active from the COVID-19 List are offensive lineman Tyron S. Smith, and linebacker Micah Parsons.
Micah Parsons, after a great Week 17, tested positive for COVID-19. He was placed on the reserve and did not play in the Eagles’ Week 18.
Parsons, in his rookie season, has been one of the NFL’s most versatile defensive players and competing for the Defensive Player-of-the Year award. Parsons has accumulated 84 tackles. He also recorded 20 tackles for lost and 13 sacks in 16 games. There were three pass deflections as well as three forced fumbles.
For several weeks, the Cowboys were without left tackle Tyron Smith. He was first injured at the ankle. As he was nearing full recovery, he was added to the COVID-19 roster. It was perfect timing for the Dallas game on Sunday, as the All-Pro is expected to be back Wednesday.
Kearse is the newest Cowboys’ player activated from Reserve/COVID-19. Because of Friday’s exemption from the 53-man roster, the safety will not count against the team’s 53-man roster.
