Cowboys' Jalen Tolbert: Active on Christmas Day

Tolbert is not among Dallas' inactives for Thursday's Week 17 game against the Commanders, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

Tolbert was a healthy scratch each of the previous three weeks, but he'll be available Christmas Day. His opportunity comes as a result of Ryan Flournoy missing the contest due to a knee injury. Tolbert may still have a hard time getting on the field often, as CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens, KaVontae Turpin and perhaps Jonathan Mingo are all above him in the WR pecking order.
