James Conner - SIC score 65

Limited again in Thursday’s practice with a calf ailment. His SIC score is 65 but that could decrease if he’s not able to practice on Friday. 

Conner was able to finish the Week 1 game, but this calf injury doesn’t bode well for his effectiveness against the Giants.

Jerry Jeudy - SIC score 78

Logged a full practice on Thursday for the first time since his Aug. 24 hamstring strain. He missed Week 1 but is likely to be active Week 2.

Even though he appears slated to play, expect the team to keep him on a snap count and he may not receive his usual amount of targets.

Austin Ekeler - SIC score 72

Did not practice for a second straight day as he recovers from a mild right high ankle sprain. There’s a chance he practices Friday and is active Sunday against the Titans, but the team may play it safe and roll with Joshua Kelley after his impressive Week 1 output.

Travis Kelce - SIC score 60

Logged a second straight limited practice on Thursday and is trending towards being active on Sunday against the Jaguars. His SIC score remains low as it’s not a guarantee he plays.

If he is active, don’t be surprised if he’s on a snap count and doesn’t have his usual effectiveness.

Bone bruises take time to heal and Kelce is less than two weeks removed from the injury.

Aaron Jones - SIC score 45

Missed practice for a second straight day with a left hamstring strain he suffered on a 35-yard touchdown catch and run in Week 1. Unlikely to play against the Falcons, giving A.J. Dillon and Jordan Love increased rushing opportunities.

Brandin Cooks - SIC score 60

The Cowboys' free agent addition suffered a low-grade MCL/PCL injury in Week 1, but was able to finish the game. He has missed two straight days of practice and looks doubtful to play against the Jets. 

Jalen Tolbert could receive increased snaps if Cooks can't go.

Davante Adams - SIC score 89

Returned to full practice after missing Wednesday with an unknown foot injury. He receives a slight downgrade in his SIC score for the moment but it should return to normal if he practices in full on Friday.

Adams finished with 6 catches for 66 yards against the Broncos Week 1.

Puka Nacua - SIC score 75

The Rams’ top receiver in Week 1 was added to Thursday’s injury report with an oblique injury. There’s not a lot of info on his ailment at the moment, but it’s not a great sign to miss practice this late in the week.
