Cowboys-Vikings Inactives: Elliott officially back, Lawrence and Brown also to play
The Dallas Cowboys will welcome running back Ezekiel Elliott back into the fold in Week 11 against the 8-1 Minnesota Vikings. Elliott has missed the last two games, dealing with a knee injury suffered against the Detroit Lions in Week 7. Tony Pollard held down the fort in Elliott’s absence, with 246 rushing yards and four touchdowns in the two games without his seventh-year running mate.
On the other side of the ball, defensive end Demarcus Lawrence is good to go after spending the week on the injury report with a foot issue. With a struggling run defense, Lawrence’s services are much-needed on top of his ability as a pass rusher with five sacks on the year.
The linebacker room will miss Anthony Barr for another week. The former Viking won’t take on his former team after being limited in practice and he’s expected to return for Thanksgiving. Take a look at the full list of inactives for Cowboys-Vikings.
