The Green Bay Packers and Dallas Cowboys enter Week 6 with notable injury concerns ahead of their Sunday night clash at Lambeau Field. Both teams listed more than a dozen players on their injury reports early in the week, casting uncertainty over several starters and impacting preparations for the NFC showdown.
Green Bay began the week with 13 players on the injury report. Among them, five players were unable to practice on Wednesday, raising doubts about their availability. Cornerback Keisean Nixon is dealing with a groin injury, which could affect the Packers’ defensive backfield depth. Meanwhile, wide receiver and kick returner Skyy Moore is sidelined with a new ankle injury. Moore’s absence removes a potential weapon from Green Bay’s offense and special teams units.
The Dallas Cowboys reported 12 players on their initial injury list, with four missing Wednesday’s practice due to their ailments. Wide receiver CeeDee Lamb is returning from a thigh injury but remains a question mark as the team assesses his readiness. Linebacker DeMarcus Overshown has a hamstring injury, limiting his participation and potentially affecting the Cowboys’ linebacker rotation.
The injury reports from both teams reflect the physical toll of the NFL season as they prepare for a high-profile game that could influence playoff positioning. Packers Wire has been tracking the latest updates throughout the week, providing live news on player statuses leading into the Sunday night matchup.
The injuries to Nixon and Moore place pressure on the Packers’ secondary and receiving corps, while Lamb’s recovery status will be closely monitored by Dallas coaches. Overshown’s hamstring concerns may affect the Cowboys’ defensive scheme, especially in pass coverage and special teams.
Neither team has confirmed final decisions on player participation as of Wednesday, but the number of players listed as non-practicing indicates ongoing challenges. Both franchises continue to evaluate their rosters ahead of the game, with changes expected as the week progresses.
The Packers and Cowboys will meet at Lambeau Field on Sunday night, with injury updates expected to evolve as game day approaches.
