Three players are currently listed as questionable for the matchup. Former Cowboy receiver Jaden Bray, a senior at West Virginia, is currently listed as probable.\n\nWednesday's availability report revealed that junior quarterback Drew Mestemaker's status could be in doubt if he does not return from injury.
