Cowboys vs. Giants: Injury report and starting lineup - October 10 | NFL Season 2021-22

The 3-1 Dallas Cowboys enter Week 5 with a division matchup against the 1-3 New York Giants who have got reason for jubilation as they earned their first victory of the season last week against the New Orleans Saints.

Since their Week 1 loss vs. the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Cowboys have been on quite a roll. Quarterback Dak Prescott has shown that he has fully recovered from the season-ending lower leg injury he suffered in Week 5 of last season, while the rushing attack and the defense have been stout.

The Giants, meanwhile, hope that they found the magical elixir to succeed from last week's win. In that game, Daniel Jones threw for 402 yards with two touchdowns and only one interception, which is great for a quarterback that has become synonymous with the word 'turnover.'

Here is the injury report and the starting lineup for this Week 5 NFC East rivalry.

Cowboys vs. Giants injury report

Cowboys

The Dallas Cowboys will enter this game fairly healthy with only one player, defensive end Dorance Armstrong (ankle), designated to miss the game against the New York Giants.

Some of their offensive firepower is questionable for the game as running back Ezekiel Elliott is nursing a knee injury, while receiver Amari Cooper is dealing with a lingering hamstring issue.
