2:45 p.m. - There's finally some good news on the injury front in Dallas, as the Cowboys welcome back Caelen Carson to the gameday roster — the rookie cornerback having been medically cleared this week to take the field against the Atlanta Falcons.
Carson has been sidelined with a shoulder injury since suffering it against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 3, missing the subsequent four games because of it; and that put an added dent in the depth chart at the position when also factoring in the prolonged absence of DaRon Bland.
Bland was moved to the active 53-man roster on Wednesday but is still not cleared for action and has been ruled out this week, alongside Micah Parsons. Neither of the two All-Pro players practiced this week, and the wait continues for them both.
Jordan Phillips was also ruled out and remains on injured reserve at this time, unable to participate in games until he's removed from IR, regardless of how well he practices, and the Cowboys have until Nov. 13 to make a decision on his remaining status for 2024.

3:35 p.m. - The Cowboys have plenty of defensive players not practicing on Thursday but at least middle linebacker Eric Kendricks was listed as "limited" for the second straight day on the injury report.
Kendricks, the Cowboys' leading tackler with 61 stops this year, played last week despite a shoulder injury. He is expected to line up again Sunday in Atlanta.
Whether he will have the likes of Trevon Diggs (calf), DaRon Bland (foot) and Micah Parsons (ankle) remains to be seen. But all three were held out of practice Thursday.
------------
11:34 a.m. - Mike McCarthy provided several injury updates during his Thursday media availability, including Trevon Diggs, the newest addition to the injury report on Wednesday not participating in practice with a calf injury.
"He'll probably start off with the rehab group today, I don't see him practicing." McCarthy said of Diggs' status on Thursday.
McCarthy added that Micah Parsons will be with the rehab group again on Thursday, and that the plan for DaRon Bland is to return to practice today, but that it'll depend on how his warmup goes.

3:21 p.m. - On the day the Cowboys activated DaRon Bland from injured reserve, with hopes he could possibly play this week in Atlanta, the team's other starting cornerback was absent from practice as well.
Trevon Diggs is dealing with a nagging calf injury and was held out of practice, the team announced in Wednesday's injury report.
Diggs sounded confident he would be able to play through the injury again this week when facing the Falcons.
------------
3:19 p.m. - The veteran guard has been battling injuries all season and the latest is a shoulder injury that caused him to miss Wednesday's practice.
Martin has played every game this season, but did miss some time in the Steelers game due to leg camps. He was on the injury report before the Lions game with a back injury but continued to play.
------------
3:01 p.m. - Kicker Brandon Aubrey continues to miss practice due to his jury-duty obligations.
Aubrey was out on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday last week but still traveled to San Francisco with the team. Aubrey is expected to play this week against the Falcons as well.
This year, he's been one of the most consistent kickers in the NFL, making 18 of 20 field goals, including 8-of-9 from 50+ yards. Aubrey's NFL record streak of eight straight games - dating back to last season - of at least one 50-yard field goal ended last week against the 49ers.
------------
12:08 p.m. - The Dallas Cowboys placed Amani Oruwariye on injured reserve after sustaining an injury against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday.
Oruwariye took a knee to the back late in the third quarter of Sunday night's game, was announced as questionable to return but did not end up returning for the Cowboys.
Oruwariye's addition to the active roster was the corresponding move for the Cowboys activating Pro Bowl corner DaRon Bland, who was at the end of his 21-day practice window after it opened on Oct. 9.
