The Dallas Cowboys just helped fans breathe a sigh of relief ahead of their Thursday Night Football matchup against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 12.
After adding Micah Parsons to the injury report on Tuesday with an "illness," the team's final report one day before the game listed the superstar pass rusher as a full participant in practice.
What's even better is that no player, including Parsons, carries a game status designation leading up to the key NFC showdown. Everyone seems to be ready to go.
Micah being available is huge to the Cowboys as the Seahawks are expected to get starting RT Abraham Lucas back on their lineup. He's been absent since Week 1 and that side of the offensive line has surely been a weakness of the struggling Geno Smith-led offense.
With Parsons healthy and ready to go, Lucas could get a cruel welcome back to the lineup. Expect Parsons to ruin his night on national television.
Additionally, the Cowboys are trending toward getting safety Jayron Kearse back after missing Week 12 with a back injury. Kearse has been a key member of Dan Quinn's defense, particularly defending tight ends in coverage.
He'll be a key aspect of the game on Thursday as he'll be matching up against Noah Fant, who has caught 19 passes for 261 yards in an offense that has spread out the ball quite a lot.
Cowboys have a decision to make with TE Peyton Hendershot
Hendershot, who is currently on Injured Reserve, remains a full participant in practice but the Cowboys have yet to announce his return. His 21-day practice window still has one more week left to go.
If he isn't activated in that span, his season will be over. Following Luke Schoonmaker's touchdown against the Carolina Panthers in Week 11, he might have a tougher time than expected fighting to be TE2.
Cowboys trending to lose the NFC East in the cruelest way possible
Fans should beware of falling for the trap.
