ARLINGTON, Texas (670 The Score) -- As they prepare to host the Bears at AT&T Stadium on Sunday, the Cowboys have ruled out star running back Ezekiel Elliott (knee), while star linebacker Micah Parsons (shoulder) is active.

Elliott didn't practice this week after dealing with the effects of a hit to the right knee during a game last Sunday. The three-time Pro Bowl running back Elliott has rushed for 443 yards and four touchdowns this season.

Parsons was limited in practice Thursday and Friday due to a shoulder injury, but he has been cleared to play. Parsons has eight sacks this season.

The Bears ruled out right tackle Larry Borom (concussion) on Friday. Veteran Riley Reiff is expected to start in his place. Chicago's inactives include tight end Jake Tonges, cornerback Lamar Jackson and receiver Isaiah Coulter.

Kickoff between the Bears (3-4) and Cowboys (5-2) comes at noon CT on Sunday from Arlington, Texas.
