Cowboys' Week 3 inactives feature two head-scratching decisions

The Dallas Cowboys are in the Windy City, ready for their Week 3 showdown with the Chicago Bears.

Dallas entered Sunday with a couple of questions about their inactive list. While DaRon Bland was already ruled out, the Cowboys were also unsure if Trevon Diggs would play. Prior to the game, Diggs was able to test out his sore knee and had no issues, meaning he would play.

There was also Jadeven Clowney, their new defensive end, who signed last Sunday. Clowney was also a game-time decision, but he won't play just yet as he was listed among their Week 3 inactives. While his inclusion shouldn't be too surprising, there were a couple of head-scratching decisions.

One was the fact that Mazi Smith is about to make his debut. The former first-round pick had fallen out of favor and was left off in favor of rookie seventh-rounder Jay Toia in Weeks 1 and 2. Smith has been working to improve, but the question is whether this move was due to his improvement or Toia's struggles.
