ARLINGTON, Texas — Defensive end Greg Hardy made his debut for the Dallas Cowboys in the starting lineup Sunday against the New England Patriots.

Hardy completed a four-game suspension for domestic violence.

The inactives for Dallas were wide receiver Dez Bryant, defensive end Randy Gregory, wide receiver Brice Butler, quarterback Kellen Moore, offensive lineman La’el Collins, defensive end Ryan Russell and tight end James Hanna.

New England inactives: defensive tackle Khyri Thornton, linebacker Jon Bostic, wide receiver Aaron Dobson, defensive end Rufus Johnson, center/guard Ryan Wendell, safety Tavon Wilson, defensive end Trey Flowers. Of the group, the biggest surprise is Dobson, as team goes with just three pure wide receivers, with Keshawn Martin over Dobson.
