True Hitchens has not seen any action as of yet in regular season & was limited in practice. Not of this is a positive for the Cowboy's interior "D". Hint hint hint get that McVay?

Sean Lee will be a game-time decision for Cowboys
By Drew Davison

Linebacker Sean Lee’s status for Sunday’s game remains to be determined.
The Dallas Cowboys linebacker is dealing with a hamstring injury that kept him out of practice every day this week.
The Cowboys and Lee will make a game-time decision on his availability for Sunday’s game against the Los Angeles Rams.
We’ll take his situation day by day,” coach Jason Garrett said. “He’s making progress. Works very hard on his rehab, so we’ll see what he’s able to do today.”
Lee said earlier this week that his hamstring strain is not as bad as others he’s had, and is hopeful to play against the Rams. But it’s a risk/reward question on whether Lee should play and possibly sustain a worse injury, or just miss one game.
“Injuries have everything to do with what our medical people say first, our doctors and our trainers,” Garrett said. “Obviously the feedback from the player is valuable and you try to sort out what the injury is, what the risk is and you try your best. Every situation is different, based on what the injury is and who the payer is and all of that.
“So you just try your best. It’s a collaborative effort, but it starts with the medical people.”
Lee’s absence would be felt throughout the entire defense. He is the unquestioned leader of the unit and ranks second on the team in tackles with 29. Jaylon Smith leads the team with 30 through three games.
“He’s a great football player and undoubtedly the leader of our defense, but it goes beyond that,” Garrett said. “He just makes a ton of plays. I think he makes everybody around him better, but injuries are a part of the game. If he’s able to play, obviously we’d love to have him. But, if he’s not, put somebody else in there and we’ll keep rolling.”
If Lee isn’t able to go, Justin Durant would start at weak-side linebacker with Smith in the middle and Damien Wilson at strong-side.
Durant saw his snaps increase last week against the Arizona Cardinals. He played 32 snaps compared to just three in the first two games.
The Cowboys would likely carry just four linebackers on the active roster if Lee can’t go. Jaylon Smith, Durant, Wilson and Kyle Wilber would be the four, and fullback Keith Smith would serve as an emergency linebacker for the team.

The second, and maybe more worrisome addition to the list, is S Cody Davis who picked up a quad injury today. His gametime decision could promote rookie S John Johnson or DB Blake Countess into some playing time.

Lamarcus Joyner out, Cody Davis questionable for Rams vs. Cowboys

The Rams will play without free safety Lamarcus Joyner. He left the Week 3 game against the 49ers with a hamstring injury and missed practice all week.
“He is such a great competitor and he does so many different things for our defense, whether it’s playing the safety position in the base and then when we get into our dime, playing the nickel,” coach Sean McVay said. “[He’s] very versatile.
“. . . We’re going to miss him a lot in this game, especially with just the playmakers that they do have on the offensive side of the ball, but that being said, a lot of confidence in the depth we have at the safety position for guys to step up and then at the nickel spot. We’ve got some corners that can transition in there that have done that throughout the course of their career as well.”
Cody Davis, who filled in for Joyner, was added to the injury report with a “tweak in his quad.”
“We’re optimistic about Cody, but he’s questionable for the game right now,” McVay said.
McVay listed Maurice Alexander, John Johnson III and Blake Countess as options if Davis also misses the game.
Center John Sullivan (hip) also is questionable.
Cornerback Kayvon Webster (shoulder) will play for the first time since the season opener, and wide receivers Tavon Austin and Sammy Watkins have cleared concussion protocol and are good to go.

This bothers me a little! I hope Sully is a GO! I'm sure Blythe would be OK, But in this game I'd prefer Sullivan!

I would be very surprised if Lee play today! TBH it would be stupid, better to protect him, so he's available the rest of the season!

Yep, even though both teams have players out to injury, there're always those special entitlements for the media-darling Cowboys.

Not sure what McVay meant by mentioning Mo Alexander as an option here? Anyone else have an ideal since Mo is our starting Strong Safety? How could Mo be an option? Is McVay letting something slip here?
Would they yank Mo out from the SS post & insert another safety in @ SS? then insert Mo back into the deep safety post? I don't think so.Either Blake Countess or John Johnson will start & we should see both of these DB's today in action.
With both our top deep safeties ailing it does give us an early glimpse into the future starting safeties in 2018 will be. Alexander-Joyner & Davis will be UFA's in March & its doubtful that 2 of the 3 will return with a new contract. Rams invested big in John Johnson when Snead selected him in the 3rd round of day two of the draft.
Rookie JJ is not a in the box safety that we see so much today but a different beast of a hybrid looks like a perfect mix of high safety with a outside corner. Odd:alien:. Thus far I have not seen the alleged athleticism and ball skills that was stamped on his profile. That may be due to where Wade has been playing him thus far ...".In The Box"
.If it were up to me I would start Countess & keep him in @ safety & when the Nickle is deployed use NRC to cover the slot. I would not mind if JJ saw some time in the Nickle myself.

@BonifayRam - I was disappointed with Countess and his silly mistakes last game. Actually I vote for marqui at strong safety and move Mo to FS like you said above.
