Wild-card Inactives: Cowboys’ Trey Lance not up, Packers’ Alexander and Watson to play

It’s all hands on deck for the wild-card round. The Dallas Cowboys have been battling an illness as a team for the last month. On Saturday, backup quarterback Cooper Rush became the latest to be impacted, being a late addition to the injury report. He’s apparently recovered well enough to be active as Dak Prescott’s backup. Trey Lance will be inactive as the emergency third quarterback yet again.

As for their opponents, the Green Bay Packers are without running back A.J. Dillon. Wide receiver Christian Watson (hamstring) and cornerback Jaire Alexander (anle)are both active after being game-time decisions and listed as questionable this week. Cowboys-Packers kicks off at 3:30 p.m., and here’s the full list of inactives ahead of kickoff.
