We made it. The NFC Divisional Round is just around the corner and kickoff is on it’s way. Before we can get to the action, let’s take a look at the inactive lists for both teams to see if either team has an advantage over the other.
Cowboys Inactives
Cowboys inactives: Mike White, Darian Thompson, Darius Jackson, Chris Covington, Dorance Armstrong, Daniel Ross, David Irving.

Cole Beasley and Blake Jarwin are both ACTIVE #cowboyswire
The Cowboys had a lot of questions heading into today’s game. It was not looking good for starting wide receiver Cole Beasley, and starting tight end Blake Jarwin, who were both dealing with ankle sprains. But both players are going to give it a go at the start. It looks like the Cowboys gave Xavier Su’a-Filo the nod over defensive tackle Daniel Ross, but rookie Connor Williams is still expected to get the start at left guard. Outside of that, the inactive list holds no surprises.
Rams Inactives

DB Darious Williams
RB Justin Davis
OLB Ogbonnia Okoronkwo
OLB Trevon Young
OL Jamil Demby
DT Sebastian Joseph-Day
DT Tanzel Smart
The Rams are rather healthy entering the Divisional Round. Star running back Todd Gurley was removed from the injury report on Friday, and is a full go. Veteran defensive lineman Ethan Westbrooks was listed as questionable coming into the game, but he will be active. Most of Los Angeles’ inactives are rookies, or down the depth chart defenders. The Cowboys will get the Rams best.
It’s do or die time for the NFC East champions, and the stage is set. If the Cowboys want to see the NFC Championship game for the first time in 23 years, they’ll need to beat one of the NFL’s best on their home turf.
