The Dallas Cowboys have been riding high this season, and they're getting good news on the injury front for their Week 5 game against the New York Giants. ESPN's Adam Schefter reports Ezekiel Elliott and Amari Cooper are both expected to suit up after getting hit with questionable tags. NFL Network's Ian Rapaport says Randy Gregory is also going to play.
Elliott missed practice on Wednesday with a knee injury, but he was able to return to the field on Thursday and will be good to go for Sunday's game. The Cowboys running back has had an excellent start to the season, rushing for 342 yards and four touchdowns through four games. He's averaging 5.3 yards per carry, which is higher than his career-best 5.1 yards per carry from his monster rookie season.

As for Cooper, he's dealing with a hamstring injury. The wide receiver got off to a huge start to 2021 with 139 yards and two scores, but he has slowed down a bit since then. He did have 69 receiving yards and a touchdown last week against the Carolina Panthers.
