The Dallas Cowboys are 6-6-1 entering Week 15's game against the Minnesota Vikings.

The Cowboys lost to the Detroit Lions on "Thursday Night Football" in Week 14, 44-30, which ended a three-game winning streak.

At the moment, the Cowboys sit behind the 8-5 Lions and 7-7 Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the NFC standings, but all three are outside of wild-card position entering the weekend. Dallas trails the slumping Philadelphia Eagles (8-5) by 1.5 games in the chase for the NFC East title.

That means the Cowboys need to string together some wins to secure a playoff spot.

Going into the Week 15 game, the Cowboys had some injury issues to monitor, including wide receiver CeeDee Lamb, who suffered a concussion against the Lions.

Lamb has been a full participant, meaning he should be ready for the game.

On Friday, Cowboys owner and GM Jerry Jones shared more good news on the team's injury front.

“Generally speaking, everybody we have on our list has got a chance to step out there Sunday," he said, via Todd Archer of ESPN.

When the report surfaced on Thursday, tight end Jake Ferguson and offensive lineman Tyler Guyton were the only ones listed as DNP (Did Not Participate) in practice.

Shavon Revel, Trevon Diggs and Jadeveon Clowney were all listed as limited participants.
