Presented by

Updates: Dak, Solomon good to go vs. Eagles

Nov. 21

3:00 p.m. -- After initially being limited participants in practice to start the week, both QB Dak Prescott and DT Solomon Thomas were full participants on Friday (Prescott was also full on Thursday) and carry no injury status designation going into Sunday's game against the Eagles.

Thomas had been dealing with a calf injury and missed the Cowboys' previous game against the Raiders because of it. Additionally, S Malik Hooker was back at practice after missing Thursday for non-injury related personal reasons.

The two Cowboys that are questionable are OT Hakeem Adeniji (illness) and DE Jadeveon Clowney (shoulder/neck). For Philadelphia, right tackle Lane Johnson (foot) is officially out, and center Cam Jurgens (concussion) is questionable.

-----------

Nov. 20

4:50 p.m. -- As he told reporters following practice on Thursday, Cowboys QB Dak Prescott was a full participant in Dallas' second practice of the week after being limited on Wednesday as he nurses a minor hip injury.

"I'm fine, got hit in the game, fell on it, happened early in the game, played the whole game throughout it," Prescott said. "It's a physical game, it's sore, I was a full participant today and I'll be completely fine, [I've] played with much more soreness."

Prescott added that had this been a short week, he likely wouldn't have even been on the team's injury report.

In addition to Prescott being upgraded to a full participant, Tyler Smith (knee) and Donovan Wilson (elbow/shoulder) were also full participants on Thursday after being limited Wednesday. Malik Hooker (NIR-Personal) was the only player to not practice on Thursday.

-----------

Nov. 19

2 p.m. – Dak Prescott left his battle against the Raiders with both a win and something to remember them by: a minor injury.

The All-Pro quarterback suffered what's being described by head coach Brian Schottenheimer as a hip issue that is "nothing major", and will not affect his availability or workload against the visiting Eagles.

"He got banged around a little in the game," said Schottenheimer. "He should be fine. We're gonna be real smart with the tempo today because it's basically a Tuesday for the [players'] bodies."

Prescott will participate fully in the Cowboys' walkthrough on Wednesday but will be handled with care on a short week with the defending champs preparing to fly into Dallas. Several others were limited alongside Prescott in the walkthrough, but everyone on the active roster participated, in some fashion, and Perrion Winfrey was a full participant in his first practice back with the active roster.

-----------

1:55 p.m. -- After releasing practice squad C Wesley French on Tuesday, the Cowboys filled their open practice squad spot with another offensive lineman in guard Nick Leverett.

Leverett, 28, was undrafted out of Rice in 2020 before signing with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He would go on to spend the next three seasons in Tampa Bay, primarily on the practice squad.

He would then go on to sign with the New England Patriots in 2024, and the Cardinals later that year where he last spent time on the practice squad. Now, he becomes the second offensive lineman on Dallas' practice squad alongside Marcellus Johnson.

-----------

Nov. 18

9:58 p.m. – History was made Monday night in a few ways. Not only did the Cowboys play their first-ever regular-seaon game in Las Vegas, but the number 0 was worn for the first time as well.

DeMarvion Overshown made his return to the field after a knee injury he suffered nearly a full year ago.

He started his career with No. 13 but made the change in the offseason, becoming the first player in Cowboys history to wear the number.

-----------

10:54 p.m. – Although he didn't start the game, alongside CeeDee Lamb, Pickens made up for a late start in a major way. The dynamic receiver caught six passes in the first half, the most of any half in his entire career. He finished the game with nine receptions for 144 yards and one touchdown.

Pickens' 144 yards is the most by any Cowboys player on Monday Night Football since Terry Glenn in 2005.

Through 10 games, Pickens is already closing in on 1,000 yards. He has 908 yards to go along with seven TD catches. Pickens is just the fourth player in Cowboys history to have 900 yards and seven TD catches in the first 10 games of a season, joining Bob Hayes (1966), Michael Irvin (1995) and Terrell Owens (2007) – all three of which are in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

-----------------

3:45 p.m. -- After a long road of recovery from a torn ACL, both DeMarvion Overshown and Shavon Revel will take the field for the Cowboys against the Raiders during Monday Night Football, the latter making his rookie debut for Dallas.

Also returning to the field is veteran safety Malik Hooker, activated this week from injured reserve, and Donovan Wilson, back from an elbow/shoulder issue to aid the ailing safety group.

Inactives against the Raiders include Solomon Thomas, out with a calf injury, suffered ahead of the bye week.

Other inactives are Damone Clark, Jaydon Blue, Trikweze Bridges, Hakeem Adeniji and Jonathan Mingo.

Nov. 17

12:05 p.m. -- For the first time since Week 4 against Green Bay, the Cowboys are expected to have safety Malik Hooker back in the lineup after missing time with a toe injury. Hooker was activated off of injured reserve on Monday afternoon after being a full participant in the Cowboys' final practice of the week on Saturday.

Monday night will also be the first time since the tie against the Packers that Dallas has had both of their starting safeties, Hooker and Donovan Wilson, on the field together. Wilson has missed the last two games due to an elbow/shoulder injury.

The corresponding move to add Hooker back to the roster was placing rookie OT Ajani Cornelius (knee) on injured reserve. The Cowboys also elevated RB Malik Davis from the practice squad ahead of their primetime game Monday night against the Las Vegas Raiders.

-------------

Nov. 15

3:15 p.m. -- The Cowboys' decision to trade for All-Pro defensive tackle Quinnen Williams comes at a great time as they'll be without Solomon Thomas in Week 11.

The veteran lineman suffered a calf injury ahead of the bye week that requires more time to heal and recover. He spent the entirety of this week with the rehab group, missing each practice.

Thomas has been officially ruled out on Saturday, following the final practice of the week ahead of the trip to Las Vegas.

With Thomas ruled out, there's a chance rookie Jay Toia could be active for depth purposes behind Williams, Osa Odighizuwa and Kenny Clark, as Perrion Winfrey remains on IR, at least at the moment.

-------------

3:00 p.m. -- It's no secret the Cowboys are in dire straits at the safety position due to injury.

Malik Hooker is working his way back from injured reserve due to a toe injury that cost him four games thus far, but the veteran safety returned to practice this week and has a very good chance of returning to the field on Monday night atainst the Raiders.

Hooker was listed as questionable on Saturday but also upgraded to full participation for the first time since suffering the injury, and Donovan Wilson joins in him having good odds of returning to the field after missing time with an elbow/shoulder issue.

With Alijah Clark trying to work through an injury to his ribs and Juanyeh Thomas on IR due to migraines, Hooker and Wilson could return to try and save the day for the safeties group in Dallas in Week 11 and beyond.

-------------

Nov. 14

4:00 p.m. -- Some reinforcements are on the way for the Cowboys' defense, but one has apparently taken a step back.

Alijah Clark, the undrafted rookie who has shown a lot of promise, suffered an injury to his ribs ahead of the bye week that cost him the Week 9 outing against the Cardinals, and after returning to practice in limited fashion on Thursday, he was downgraded and did not participate on Friday.

Malik Hooker and Donovan Wilson were both limited participants for a second consecutive practice though, giving a glimmer of hope to one, if not both, as the Cowboys get ready to visit the Raiders in Las Vegas on Monday night. Hooker is in his 21-day practice window from IR, but the Cowboys can decide to activate him early.

DeMarvion Overshown and Shavon Revel participated fully on Friday, hinting largely that Revel might indeed join Overshown for their first action of the 2025 season, and for the latter's first as an NFL player.

-------------

Nov. 13

4:18 p.m. -- In the first injury report of the week leading into the Cowboys' Monday night game against the Las Vegas Raiders, both LB DeMarvion Overshown and rookie CB Shavon Revel were full participants, keeping them on track to make their debuts in Dallas' next game.

The only Cowboys player who did not practice was DT Solomon Thomas with a calf injury. Thomas injured it against the Cardinals and was working on the cords with director of rehabilitation Britt Brown during the media's viewing of practice on Thursday.

Both Donovan Wilson and Malik Hooker were limited participants, at the very least giving the Cowboys a chance to have both of their starting safeties back against the Raiders. Tyler Smith, Dante Fowler, Ajani Cornelius and Alijah Clark were the other limited participants on Thursday.

-------------

Nov. 12

3:40 p.m. -- The Cowboys signed OT Marcellus Johnson to their practice squad on Wednesday.

Johnson, a UDFA in 2024, has spent the last two seasons on the practice squads for the New York Giants and Minnesota Vikings twice, and most recently the Indianapolis Colts.

The addition of Johnson comes after OT Geron Christian was poached off Dallas' practice squad on Tuesday by the Denver Broncos.

-------------

Nov. 11

4:30 p.m. -- Cowboys S Juanyeh Thomas was placed on the reserve/non-football illness list Tuesday, sidelining him for at least the next four games.

Thomas has been dealing with migraines for the last few weeks, and those struggles are a reason why the safety is set to miss time. The Cowboys are hoping to get Donovan Wilson (knee) back against the Raiders on Monday, and their other starter Malik Hooker (toe) is expected to return from injured reserve soon.

The next game Thomas will be eligible to play in will be on Dec. 14 against the Minnesota Vikings.

-------------

4:25 p.m. -- The Cowboys lost a practice squad offensive lineman on Tuesday, as OT Geron Christian signed with the Denver Broncos.

Christian had been with the Cowboys since August, and now gets a new opportunity in Denver on their 53-man roster.

After Christian's departure, the only remaining offensive lineman on the Cowboys' practice squad for the time being is center Wesley French.

Nov. 3

11:13 p.m. - With seven receptions Monday night, CeeDee Lamb now has 531 career catches, tying him with Dez Bryant for third place in Cowboys history.

Lamb has played just 87 games, to 113 for Bryant. Next up for the Cowboys receiver is trying to catch Michael Irvin (750) and Jason Witten (1,215).

Monday night, Lamb also led the team in receiving yards with 85, including a 33-yard reception in the third quarter.

-------------

10:32 p.m. - Known for his interceptions and Pick 6, which he has the most in Cowboys history, DaRon Bland had to do more tackling than he wanted to Monday night.

And the reason was the Cardinals went right at him with Marvin Harrison Jr., who had his best game of the season with seven catches for 96 yards.

Bland ended up with a team-high 14 tackles with just one pass deflection.

-------------

8:18 p.m. - Marshawn Kneeland got the Cowboys on the board with a special teams play, blocking a punt and recovering it in the end zone for a touchdown.

Kneeland became the first Cowboys player since 2021 to score off a blocked punt. The Cowboys scored on a Corey Clement block that was returned in the end zone by Chauncey Golston in the end zone.

Kneeland's touchdown occurred from the blocked punt by Sam Williams, who now has two for his career.

-------------

5:45 p.m. -- It's been a long couple of weeks or more for Juanyeh Thomas.

The veteran safety was sidelined the last two outings due to extreme migraines, but he's back to full health and will return when the Cowboys host the Cardinals on Monday Night Football, and as will starting safety Cooper Beebe.

Beebe was activated from injured reserve on Saturday, and his return means the Cowboys' offensive line will be whole for the first time in more than a month. One item to watch in that capacity, though, will be Terence Steele being added to the injury report on Monday with migraines of his own, but though he was listed as questionable, he is active on the gameday roster.

Inactives against the Cardinals include Donovan Wilson and Alijah Clark, both due to injury, as well as Jaydon Blue, Mazi Smith, Ajani Cornelius, Hakeem Adeniji and Jonathan Mingo.

-------------

1:08 p.m. -- Ahead of the Cowboys' Monday night game against the Arizona Cardinals, the Cowboys activated center Cooper Beebe off the reserve/injured-designated for return list.

Beebe, who is listed as questionable for Monday night's game, now has a chance to make his return to the lineup for the first time since Week 2 when he suffered an ankle injury.

If Beebe does in fact suit up, it'll be the first time since that Week 2 overtime victory against the New York Giants that the Cowboys will have all five of their starting offensive linemen on the field together.

-------------

1:06 p.m. -- The Cowboys placed LB Jack Sanborn on injured reserve Monday, sidelining him for at least the next four games.

After Sanborn suffered a concussion in Week 5 against the Jets, a groin injury struck ahead of Dallas' game against the Broncos last week. After a pregame workout to test it out, he was ruled out.

Sanborn will be eligible to return on Dec. 4 against Lions at the earliest.

-------------

1:06 p.m. -- Running back Malik Davis was signed from the practice squad to the Cowboys' active roster on Monday, giving the Cowboys more depth at the running back position and potentially give him more snaps.

Brian Schottenheimer has been effusive in his praise of Davis, who has been elevated to help mostly on special teams in the last few weeks.

Additionally, the Cowboys elevated DB Zion Childress and TE Princeton Fant from the practice squad for Monday night's game against the Cardinals.

-------------

Nov. 2

4:21 p.m. - After missing the last six games with a high-ankle sprain, center Cooper Beebe could be ready for a return this Monday night against the Cardinals.

Beebe remains on IR, but has practiced the last two weeks and head coach Brian Schottenheimer said Beebe is "on track" to make his return this week.

Brock Hoffman has started since Week 3 at center but the Cowboys are looking to get their Week 1 starter back in the lineup, for consistency more than anything else. In the last three games, the Cowboys have struggled to run the ball, including a Week 6 loss in Carolina where they rushed for just 31 yards with a 1.6 yard average. Last week in Denver, the Cowboys had trouble scoring in the red zone and rushed for 108 yards, the second-lowest output of the season.

2:13 p.m. - The Cowboys are hopeful Juanyeh Thomas can return this week after missing two games with migraines. And Thomas is certainly needed considering the Cowboys listed two safeties as "Out" for Monday's game.

One of those safeties is regular starter Donovon Wilson, who is battling elbow/knee injuries. Alijah Clark, who started last week in Denver, couldn't finish the game due to a ribs injury that will keep him out this week.

-----------------

Oct. 31

2:45 p.m. -- The Cowboys are getting healthier in spots, but not so much in others, and now they're monitoring Bryan Anger closely.

The two-time All-Pro punter missed practice on Friday due to illness, and it's unclear if he'll recover in time to participate in practice tomorrow. The added day should help his process, given the Cowboys don't host the Arizona Cardinals until Monday night, but his status is still one to keep an eye on.

Things could get interesting, and more challenging, for Brian Schottenheimer and the Cowboys if Anger is unable to play.

It does sound as if a contingency plan is in place, per special teams coordinator Nick Sorensen earlier this week — one that could utilize the ability of other players on the roster who have demonstrated an ability to punt (e.g., Pro Bowl tight end Jake Ferguson), but that's an emergency scenario Dallas would rather avoid, considering Anger is such a weapon for the team in helping to flip field position.

Oct. 30

4:05 p.m. -- After being a limited participant for the entirety of last week, Cowboys C Cooper Beebe (ankle) was a full participant in Dallas' Thursday practice.

Beebe was close to returning to the lineup last week, and is now still on track to make his return to the lineup for the Cowboys on Monday night against the Cardinals, putting Dallas' starting five offensive linemen on the field for the first time since Week 2.

Linebacker DeMarvion Overshown (knee) was limited as he enters the second week of his three-week return to practice window, and exited practice during the media's viewing period with team training staff. Overshown later returned to practice and there's no concern about any long-term additional injury issues.

From the rrest of the injury report, safeties Donovan Wilson and Alijah Clark did not practice, S Juanyeh Thomas was limited, DT Perrion Winfrey was limited in his second practice back from IR, and LB Jack Sanborn (groin) did not practice.
