Dallas Cowboys Injury Report
The latest news out of the Cowboys complex is that First Team All-Pro and reigning NFL DROY Micah Parsons will be a go for Monday’s game against the Giants. Parsons, who had 13 sacks and three forced fumbles during his sensational rookie season, has been battling illness all week. the strong side linebacker tested negative for COVID-19.
Perhaps taunting the Giants, Parsons tweeted a GIF from the famous Michael Jordan “flu game” in which the basketball legend scored 38 points in Game 5 of the 1997 NBA Finals while battling the flu.

Recovering from an ACL injury suffered last season, WR Michael Gallup has been a full participant in practice this week. However, he won’t be making his 2022 season debut against the Giants. Gallup has caught 13 TD passes over the past three seasons. That probably means looking at overs on Dallas WR CeeDeeLamb in the Cowboys vs Giants player props would be a wise decision.
Dallas TE Dalton Schultz (knee) is listed as questionable. The plan is for him to test out his ailing knee in the warmup. He’ll be a game-time decision.
Kearse and McGovern will miss their second straight games. Nose tackle Quinton Bohanna (neck), listed as questionable, is expected to play.
New York Giants Injury Report
Although both are showing as questionable in the injury report, the Giants will be welcoming back edge rushers Kayvon Thibodeaux (knee) and Azeez Ojulari (calf). However, CB Robinson is out following an emergency appendectomy.
Kadarius Toney (hamstring) isn't practicing today per Brian Daboll. I think it will take a miracle for him to be in the lineup Monday.

Also out for the second successive game is WR Wan’Dale Robinson (knee). Meanwhile, wideout Kadarius Toney (hamstring), listing as questionable, has missed the last two practices this week. He’s not expected to play. Right defensive end Leonard Williams (knee) is trending toward not playing.
How Could Injuries Affect Cowboys vs Giants Betting Lines?
Of course, perhaps the biggest injury impacting the Cowboys vs Giants picks is the broken thumb suffered in Week 1 by QB Dak Prescott. Cooper Rush won his debut as Dallas starter at home against Cincinnati. How will he fare in a hostile road environment? Rush did win last season at Minnesota in his only other NFL start.
Rush’s life in the pocket might be a bit more difficult at MetLife Stadium with Thibodeaux and Ojulari teeing off on him from the edge.
Cowboys NT Quinton Bohanna, who surfaced on the injury report Friday with a neck issue and is officially listed as questionable, is expected to play tonight, person familiar with situation said. He’ll help anchor the effort to contain Giants RB Saquon Barkley.

That Parsons is going to be able to play through his bout of illness is also a vital factor for Dallas. Ditto for nose tackle Bohanna being able to overcome his neck ailment. Both defenses will be key elements in the Dallas game plan for stopping the dangerous double threat that is Giants running back Saquon Barkley.
Minus Toney and Robinson, the Giants are thin in wideouts. Factor in the difficulties the club is enduring with disgruntled veteran Kenny Golladay and is fair to suggest that the action in the Cowboys vs Giants public betting splits must be concerned about who New York QB Daniel Jones can target with his downfield passes.
