Hill has been inactive the first two weeks waiting as the Cowboys tried to clear up room along a jammed defensive line.

FRISCO — Cowboys second-round pick Trysten Hill is expected to make his debut on Sunday against the Miami Dolphins.Hill, a defensive tackle, has been inactive the first two weeks waiting as the Cowboys tried to clear up room along a jammed defensive line.
A knee injury to starting defensive tackle Antwaun Woods, who won’t play against the Dolphins, has cleared the way for Hill along with some other moves.
The Cowboys also released defensive end Taco Charlton on Wednesday, allowing defensive end Robert Quinn to become activated to the 53-man roster after missing two weeks while on suspension for PEDs. Charlton was eventually claimed by the Dolphins on Thursday.
Hill, drafted as a three-technique defensive tackle, most likely won’t start, but will backup starter Maliek Collins and nose tackle Christian Covington, who takes over for Woods in the starting lineup.
The Cowboys would normally move Collins to play both interior defensive line spots. Defensive coordinator Rod Marinelli said Collins is playing so well at the three-technique position he doesn’t want to disrupt that success.
So Hill has been getting reps at both interior line positions to create some position flexibility and it’s going to pay off on Sunday.
Xavier Woods health improving: Starting safety Xavier Woods said he's feeling much better after suffering an acute high-ankle sprain in last week's game against the Redskins. "It's early," Woods said. "I want to make sure when I come back, I'm not limping. We got some time."
Woods used a walking boot for one day and is now doing some rehab work.
Woods wouldn’t say how long he’s going to be out but sources say he could be out anywhere from two-to-four weeks. Cowboys officials believe it’s more on the shorter side of time.
Nothing new with Dak Prescott's contract status: Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones said Friday there is nothing to say about contract talks with quarterback Dak Prescott.
“
I don’t want to comment on any details,” Jones said on KRLD-FM. “It doesn’t do anybody any good. We’d love to get it done. That’s really all I’ve got to say about it.”
Briefly: The Cowboys will miss four starters due to injuries: WR Michael Gallup (knee), DE Tyrone Crawford (hip), DT Antwaun Woods (knee) and S Xavier Woods (ankle). ... WR Tavon Austin (concussion) LB Luke Gifford (ankle) were ruled out for the game.
