McCarthy said Joseph and McKeon specific-
ally are "still a couple of weeks away." ... Other
players on IR include defensive end DeMarcus
Lawrence, who is still another 4-6 weeks away
with a broken foot.

Like the horror movie, Gallimore hurt his elbow
Friday the 13th back in August in the preseason
game against the Arizona Cardinals. It was re-
ported the injury would keep him sidelined for
4-6 weeks, but to give him a little extra time to
heal properly the Cowboys placed him on IR ...

... instead. Now, if healthy, he can rejoin his team-
mates on the field. Gallimore isn’t the only Cow-
boys IR-to-return player who could be activated
this week. No, Michael Gallup still has another
week until he can return because his injury hap-
pened in Week 1. However, players like Kelvin ...

... Joseph, Francis Bernard, Sean McKeon, Josh
Ball, and Malik Turner can all join the active roster
if activated off of IR this week.

Hmmm, hard to say if any IR player will return for
the Panthers game. Gallup & Lawrence can't return,
the other 6 can but no indication given that any of
them will return for the Panthers game, & McCarthy
mentioned 2 that won't.

2 Covid players, Keanu Neal & Bradlee Anae, un-
mentioned if either of them may return for the Pan-
thers game.

Donovan Wilson, Dorance Armstrong, Trysten Hill,
& Carlos Watkins, unmentioned if any of them may
return for the Panthers game.

La'el Collins is serving 3 more games on his 5 game
suspension.

That's a total of -15- players:

o 5 on offense (OT La'el Collins, TE Sean McKeon,
OT Josh Ball, WR Malik Turner, WR Michael Gallup)

o 10 on defense (S Donovan Wilson, DT Trysten Hill,
DT Carlos Watkins, DT Neville Gallimore, DE Dorance
Armstrong, DE Demarcus Lawrence, DE Bradlee Anae,
LB Francis Bernard, LB Keanu Neal, CB Kelvin Joseph)

That's 7 starters (OT, WR, S, DT, DT, DE, LB).

One could certainly make a strong case that whatever
happens in the rest of the season, thus far the Cowboys
have shown they have much greater depth than they had
last year, with their 2-1 start & their only loss on the road
against the defending Super Bowl champs by 2 points
at the very end after a controversial non-call on a blatant
offensive pass interference.

Backup WR Malik Turner, mostly used on special
teams, the only 1 of the 15 IR/Covid players now
in a "practice window activated, eligible for IR re-
turn" status (see above).
