He missed Week 16's game with the injury.

Vander Esch continues to deal with a stinger that kept him from playing in last week's win over the Philadelphia Eagles.

If the Cowboys did not have a short week, there's a chance Vander Esch would have been able to make it back in time. Unfortunately, Dallas has a short turnaround and will play on Thursday night, making it unlikely that the talented linebacker plays this week.

In 14 games this season, the twenty-six-year-old has 90 total tackles, one sack, one forced fumble and one pass defended. He is a former first-round pick by the Cowboys in the 2018 NFL Draft.
