The Dallas Cowboys received positive news ahead of their game against the Atlanta Falcons, as cornerback Trevon Diggs has been cleared to play despite a calf injury that limited his practice. Coach Mike McCarthy had initially labeled Diggs' status as a game-time decision, but he will start on Sunday.

In contrast, the Cowboys will miss several key defensive players, including Micah Parsons and DaRon Bland. Rookie Caelen Carson will return after a shoulder injury, while the team has elevated Josh Butler from the practice squad for additional support.
