The Cowboys have significant problems in the secondary, with three (Diggs, Kazee, and Wilson) out of their four starters listed as questionable.

The Cowboys expect Zeke to play, but any setback will open the door for Tony Pollard to be the team's primary running back.

New England Patriots

Damien Harris	RB	Ribs	Questionable
Justin Herron	OL	Abdomen	Questionable
Jonathan Jones	CB	Ankle	Questionable

Ja'Whaun Bentley	LB	Shoulder	Not Listed

The Patriots have massive problems on the offensive line. Isaiah Wynn will miss his second straight game on the COVID-19 list; Shaq Mason is out due to an abdomen issue, the same injury that makes Justin Herron questionable.

Cornerback Shaun Wade is also out with a concussion.

Patriots quarterback Mac Jones may have a long day if Herron misses the game, and injuries force his offensive line without three starters.
