Packers Inactives List Announced Before Showdown With Cowboys
By Michael Luciano
The Green Bay Packers were already going to be short-handed in their matchup against the Dallas Cowboys, but it appears they will be missing key players on both sides of the ball.
Tra Carson will be the backup running back, as 2019 sixth-round pick Dexter Williams is on the inactive list, alongside receiver Davante Adams. Jamaal Williams is out as he recovers from a concussion, while special teamer and slot corner Tony Brown is a healthy scratch on Sunday.
Kevin King (groin) will suit up today against the Cowboys, and Tra Carson — not Dexter Williams — is active as the backup running back. ILB Oren Burks is active for the first time since his preseason pec injury.

The Packers did get a surprising boost, as some defensive reinforcements are on the way. Cornerback Kevin King will play Sunday despite a groin injury, while linebacker Oren Burks will make his season debut after missing the first four games with a pec injury.
Right tackle Bryan Bulaga is also going to play after suffering an injury against the Philadelphia Eagles.

The Packers will by no means be at full strength in this game given the injury to Adams, but at least they will be able to call upon some trusted reinforcements to try and seal a W in this game.
