Matt Cassel, Ronald Leary, Christine Michael, Geoff Swaim, Dez Bryant, Randy Gregory and Jeremy Mincey are inactive today for the Dallas Cowboys against the Atlanta Falcons.
Tony Romo is on injured reserve.
Jason Witten is playing despite being barely able to walk on Monday.
The inactives mean La"el Collins will make his first NFL start.
Leary withstood a challenge from the rookie Collins in camp to retain the starting job at left guard. But Leary missed the game against Philadelphia with a strained groin and is out Sunday.
Mackenzy Bernadeau and Collins alternated at left guard in the win over the Eagles with Bernadeau starting and getting two series to every one for Collins. But Collins graded out higher and will pick up the start just two weeks after being inactive.
"I just want to go out there and be where my team needs me to be and go out and do my job,"" Collins said.
Veteran Jack Crawford is the most likely candidate to start at defensive end in Mincey"s absence.
