Inactives: Falcons at Cowboys —Tyron Smith is out
Falcons cornerback Kendall Sheffield (foot) and defensive end Charles Harris (ankle) were declared out Friday for the game against the Cowboys.
Defensive tackle Marlon Davidson (knee), running back Qadree Ollison and tackle John Wetzel were declared inactive on Sunday.
The biggest question for the Cowboys is the status of seven-time Pro Bowl left tackle Tyron Smith. They are already without right tackle La’el Collins and had undrafted rookie Terence Steele start in the season-opener. Smith was declared inactive.
In addition to Smith, quarterback Ben DiNucci, free safety Reggie Robinson, linebacker Rashad Smith and offensive tackle Alex Light were declared inactive.
With Smith out the options will include Brandon Knight and Eric Smith, who was promoted from the practice squad on Saturday.
