Dallas will also be without WR3 Brandin Cooks, who hit the IR with a knee injury.
On the Pittsburgh side, starting OLB Alex Highsmith, who has 11 tackles and a sack in three games this season, will miss his second straight game.
The Steelers will also be very thing at running back. While RB1 Najee Harris is healthy, the two guys behind him on the depth chart – Jaylen Warren and Cordarrelle Patterson, are both out.
