Cowboys @ Bears injury report: Michael Bennett limited, Randall Cobb doesn’t practice with illness

As the Cowboys prepare to face the Bears on Thursday night, they are fighting a few injuries.

Wide receiver Randall Cobb missed practice on Monday but the good news it was an illness and not an injury. Hopefully he will recover in time to play on Thursday.

Leighton Vander Esch is still missing practice because of his neck injury and there have been no indications yet he will be returning anytime soon. Defensive tackle Antwuan Woods also missed practice on Monday, as did safety Jeff Heath.

Michael Bennett is fighting a foot injury but was able to practice on a limited basis today. He joins a whole list of Cowboys who were limited on Monday, including La’el Collins, Sean Lee, Zack Martin, Tyron Smith and Darian Thompson.

And for anybody wondering whether Dak Prescott practiced with gloves in preparation for the weather in Chicago, he did. Given the New England debacle, that’s a good thing.
