DALLAS (105.3 The Fan) - The Cowboys will be relatively healthy when they face off with the 49ers on Sunday, as the only player they'll be missing on the 53-man active roster is offensive lineman Jason Peters. That means rookie Tyler Smith could be matched up often with 49ers Defensive Player of the Year candidate Nick Bosa.
Peters was forced to leave in the second quarter of the Cowboys' Wild Card game against the Buccaneers with a hip injury. 105.3 The Fan's Bryan Broaddus reported on the GBag Nation on Tuesday that Peters has a "hip flexor problem that will probably keep him out for a little bit."
With Peters sidelined, Connor McGovern will slide into the offensive line at left guard, while Smith will shift back to left tackle, a position he's played most of the season.
Jayron Kearse is the only player whose status is up in the air, as the Cowboys' safety is listed as questionable for Sunday due to a sprained MCL he suffered against Tampa Bay.
Kearse, who was a limited participant in practice all week, said that he's planning to be out there on Sunday.
