The injury situation is looking bleak for the Washington Commanders as they head into their Thanksgiving matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. With three players ruled out and two placed on injured reserve, the Commanders will be without key contributors, including rookie CB Emmanuel Forbes. This may provide an advantage for the Cowboys and their quarterback, Dak Prescott, who has been making a strong case for MVP consideration. On the other side of the ball, the Cowboys' defense may also benefit from the absence of Washington's starting safety, Jayron Kearse, who is doubtful for the game.

While the Commanders have struggled in recent weeks, losing seven of their last nine games, the Cowboys are riding a wave of success, having won their previous two games by a combined margin of 55 points. The Dallas team is looking to win consecutive Thanksgiving games for the first time in 14 years, and despite their recent record on Thanksgiving, the players are excited about the opportunity to play on this special day and celebrate with their families afterwards. As for Washington, their quarterback Sam Howell has been under immense pressure this season, being sacked a league-leading 51 times.

As the two NFC East rivals face off on Thanksgiving, the question remains: Can the Cowboys extend their Thanksgiving win streak while Washington struggles?
