The Cowboys have significant problems in the secondary, with three (Diggs, Kazee, and Wilson) out of their four starters listed as questionable.

The Cowboys expect Zeke to play, but any setback will open the door for Tony Pollard to be the team's primary running back.

New England Patriots

Nick Folk	K	Knee	Questionable
Damien Harris	RB	Ribs	Questionable
Justin Herron	OL	Abdomen	Questionable
Jonathan Jones	CB	Ankle	Questionable
Jalen Mills	CB	Hamstring	Questionable
Ronnie Perkins	LB	Ankle	Questionable
Shaq Mason	G	Abdomen	Out
Shaun Wade	CB	Concussion	Out
Ja'Whaun Bentley	LB	Shoulder	Not Listed
Cody Davis	DB	Knee	Not Listed
Kyle Dugger	S	Hamstring	Not Listed
Kyle Van Noy	LB	Groin	Not Listed

The Patriots have massive problems on the offensive line. Isaiah Wynn will miss his second straight game on the COVID-19 list; Shaq Mason is out due to an abdomen issue, the same injury that makes Justin Herron questionable.

Cornerback Shaun Wade is also out with a concussion.

Patriots quarterback Mac Jones may have a long day if Herron misses the game, and injuries force his offensive line without three starters.

@brad_altman Hi Gentleman Brad Altman. At this point, I'd lean towards no. That was a full-pads practice Wednesday and the fact he didn't participate makes me lean in that direction. That could always change, of course.
