Two old rivals, the Dallas Cowboys and the San Francisco 49ers, meet on Sunday evening in a duel between two teams that have so far failed to live up to expectations.

The Cowboys didn't lose last week because they were sitting out and licking the wounds that dropped them to 3-3 with their emphatic loss to Detroit. The reigning NFC champion 49ers lost a Super Bowl rematch to Kansas City 4-3.

Dallas Cowboys injury report

Dallas Cowboys running back Dalvin Cook is about to make his season debut against San Francisco.

Star linebacker Micah Parsons (ankle) and cornerback DaRon Bland (foot) are out again on Sunday evening. Bland's replacement in the starting lineup in 2024, Caelen Carson, is questionable with a shoulder injury.

Parsons will miss his third straight game. Bland has not played yet this season.

Cowboys starting linebacker Eric Kendricks (shoulder) is also listed as questionable.

San Francisco 49ers

The 49ers (3-4) have struggled with injuries and lost star wideout Brandon Aiyuk to a season-ending right knee injury in last Sunday's 28-18 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.

Wideout Deebo Samuel (pneumonia/wrist) played only a few snaps and was later hospitalized and released Tuesday. Although he sat out Wednesday's practice, San Francisco coach Kyle Shanahan said Samuel could play.

Receiver Jauan Jennings (hip) missed the Kansas City contest. He also did not practice Wednesday, nor did George Kittle (foot), receiver Chris Conley (ankle), running back Jordan Mason (shoulder), defensive end Nick Bosa (elbow), defensive tackle Kevin Givens (groin) and safety George Odum (knee) and kicker Jake Moody (ankle).

McCaffrey (Achilles) remains on injured reserve and has yet to play a down this season.

Bill Speros writes: “Will Bill Belichick coach the Cowboys this week? Someone just needs to ask Jerry Jones about his coach two or three more times before we get a complete breakdown on air. It's hard to imagine saying goodbye would help Dallas, given their situation.” With Halloween around the corner, perhaps the Cowboys will show up dressed as a fully functioning professional football team.
