Cowboys vs Chiefs: Latest Practice Updates & Player Status
As the Thanksgiving Day showdown between the Dallas Cowboys and the Kansas City Chiefs approaches, both teams have released their latest practice updates and injury-related player statuses. Here is a clear, structured breakdown of everything we know so far heading into Thursday’s matchup.
Understanding Practice Status Reports
The NFL requires teams to release daily practice designations. These labels help indicate how close a player may be to returning or playing:
- Full Participant: Practiced without limitations
- Limited Participant: Practiced with restrictions
- Did Not Practice (DNP): No participation due to injury or rest
These practice updates are not official game designations but offer insight into player availability.
Cowboys Practice Updates
The Cowboys have reported that several key players participated at varying levels throughout the week. Practice participation may include a mix of full, limited, and non-participation statuses.
- Players listed as Full Participant are expected to play.
- Limited Participant players may still be trending upward but could receive game-time evaluations.
- Anyone listed as DNP will be monitored closely until Thursday.
The team may release additional updates before the game if significant changes occur.
Chiefs Practice Updates
The Chiefs also released their latest practice notes, including reps taken and player progression from earlier in the week.
- Full participants are on track to be active for Thanksgiving Day.
- Limited participants may be on snap counts depending on recovery.
- DNP listings will be re-evaluated before final game designations.
As with the Cowboys, the Chiefs may update their player report closer to kickoff.
Players Trending Toward Playing
Players who upgraded from “Limited” early in the week to “Full Participant” late in the week typically have strong chances of being active on game day. These upward trends often reflect recovery progress and game readiness.
Players Still Being Evaluated
Some players remain in evaluation phases, especially those listed as “DNP” early in the week or who were limited multiple days in a row. Their status may depend on pre-game warmups and medical clearance.
What This Means for Thursday’s Game
Both teams rely heavily on depth across offense and defense, meaning even minor injuries can affect matchups in areas such as pass protection, wide receiver rotations, and defensive coverage assignments.
Still, Thanksgiving games often come with elevated energy and intensity, and both teams are preparing as if they will have competitive rosters available.
