Won't play in Brazil
Thu, Sep 24, 2026, 10:16 PM
Locke (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Ravens.
Analysis: Locke sustained a foot injury during the Cowboys' Week 2 win over the Commanders. The injury is severe enough for him to not play against Baltimore, and he'll look to progress enough in his recovery to be available for Week 4 against the Texans on Sunday, Oct. 4. With Malik Hooker (forearm) also ruled out, Markquese Bell figures to start alongside Jalen Thompson at safety while Caleb Downs serves as the slot corner. |

Won't play against Ravens
Thu, Sep 24, 2026, 8:44 PM
Durant (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Ravens in Brazil.
Analysis: The cornerback sustained the injury during Dallas' Week 2 win over Washington. After the game, Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer said that Durant could miss "a few weeks," per Todd Archer of ESPN.com, and now he's going to sit out for at least one. Shavon Revel, Ameer Speed and Caelen Carson are Dallas' backup corners. |

Not playing Sunday
Thu, Sep 24, 2026, 8:33 PM
Hooker (forearm) has already been ruled out for Sunday's matchup with the Ravens in Brazil.
Analysis: The safety suffered a forearm fracture in Dallas' Week 1 loss to the Giants and had to miss the team's Week 2 win over the Commanders. Hooker also didn't practice Wednesday, and now he won't play until Oct. 4 against the Texans at the earliest. |

Ruled out for Week 3
Thu, Sep 24, 2026, 8:28 PM
Overshown (hamstring) is not making the trip to Brazil for Sunday's matchup with the Ravens.
Analysis: The inside linebacker suffered the hamstring injury during Dallas' Week 1 loss to the Giants, missed the team's Week 2 win over the Commanders and sat out of practice Wednesday. Overshown will now have to work toward returning for Dallas' Week 4 matchup with the Texans on Oct. 4. |

Unable to practice Wednesday
Wed, Sep 23, 2026, 7:37 PM
Hooker (forearm) did not participate at practice Wednesday, Tommy Yarrish of the Cowboys' official site reports.
Analysis: Hooker was sidelined during Sunday's win versus the Commanders with the forearm fracture he suffered in Week 1 against the Giants, and his availability for Week 3 is also in jeopardy. Unless he's able to return to practice in some capacity Thursday or Friday, he's probably trending towards missing Sunday's contest versus the Ravens. |

Still not practicing Wednesday
Wed, Sep 23, 2026, 7:26 PM
Overshown (hamstring) did not participate at practice Wednesday, Tommy Yarrish of the Cowboys' official site reports.
Analysis: Overshown sat out Sunday's win versus the Commanders due to the hamstring injury he sustained in Week 1 against the Giants, and his status for Week 3 is now up in the air as well. He'll likely have to manage at least a limited practice Thursday or Friday to put himself in a position to play in Week 3 versus the Ravens. |

Set to start Sunday
Tue, Sep 22, 2026, 6:14 PM
Bell is set to start Sunday's game against the Ravens, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The Cowboys' secondary has already caught the injury bug two weeks into the regular season. Both of the team's free safeties, Malik Hooker (forearm) and P.J. Locke (foot), will likely miss Sunday's game. This leaves Bell (the backup strong safety) to suit up across from Jalen Thompson to try and slow down a Ravens offense quarterbacked by Lamar Jackson. |

Ryan Flournoy Ryan Flournoy Logs five catches in Week 2
Mon, Sep 21, 2026, 11:09 PM
Flournoy caught five of six targets for 23 yards Sunday in a 37-20 victory versus Washington.
Analysis: Flournoy started and saw plenty of playing time, logging 42 of Dallas' 55 offensive snaps. He also got a good amount of looks, with six passes thrown his way. However, Flournoy worked almost exclusively in short yardage, with his longest catch going for a modest 10 yards and his other four receptions accounting for a total of 13 yards. Flournoy is unsurprisingly well behind CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens on the WR depth chart, so his week-to-week production figures to be difficult to bank upon. Dallas next faces the Ravens at home next Sunday. |

Emari Demercado Emari Demercado Three carries in win
Mon, Sep 21, 2026, 11:03 PM
Demercado had three carries for eight yards in Sunday's 37-20 win over the Commanders.
Analysis: Demercado played just nine offensive snaps in the contest, playing second fiddle to Javonte Williams throughout the day. The running back is primarily a reserve option, with Williams set to be the bell cow for much of 2026. |

Will miss time with hamstring injury
Mon, Sep 21, 2026, 6:36 PM
Durant (hamstring) could miss a few weeks due to injury, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Durant exited the Cowboys' win over the Commanders last Sunday with a hamstring injury. The cornerback will now need to miss time as he deals with the issue, leaving Shavon Revel to be the starting outside option opposite DaRon Bland. |
|
Set to miss a few weeks
Mon, Sep 21, 2026, 6:29 PM
Locke (foot) is set to miss a few weeks, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reported Monday.
Analysis: Locke exited Sunday's win over the Commanders early with a foot injury. The safety has plantar fasciitis and will need a significant amount of time to recover. With Locke out and Malik Hooker (forearm) dealing with an injury, it is unclear which defensive backs will rotate over to free safety for the Cowboys. |

Brandon Aubrey Brandon Aubrey Makes all seven kicks in Week 2 win
Mon, Sep 21, 2026, 10:20 AM
Aubrey went 3-for-3 on field-goal attempts and made all four PATs in Sunday's 37-20 win over the Commanders.
Analysis: It was a needed rebound game for Aubrey after he made just two of three extra-point tries in the Cowboys' Week 1 loss to the Giants. Drafted as the top fantasy kicker over the summer, Aubrey put up a big line against Washington, with his field goals coming from 25, 44 and 60 yards. He'll get a Week 3 home date with the Ravens next Sunday. |

Dak Prescott Dak Prescott Elite performance in Week 2 win
Sun, Sep 20, 2026, 9:11 PM
Prescott completed 26 of 31 passes for 279 yards with four touchdowns and no interceptions while rushing four times for 26 yards in the Cowboys' 37-20 win over the Commanders on Sunday.
Analysis: Prescott's five incompletions and the two sacks he took were about the only blemishes on an otherwise outstanding performance. Prescott was clicking early and often with CeeDee Lamb, connecting with top wideout for eight of his completions and targeting him nine times overall for a total of 153 yards. Half of the veteran signal-caller's touchdown tosses went to the No. 1 wideout from three and 24 yards out, and Prescott hit Jake Ferguson from 10 and 12 yards for his other two scoring strikes. Despite a Week 1 loss to the Giants, Prescott's numbers have largely been above reproach, as he has a 73.8 percent completion rate and a 6:1 TD:INT heading into next Sunday's Week 3 home showdown against Lamar Jackson and the Ravens. |

George Pickens George Pickens Slight improvement in Week 2 win
Sun, Sep 20, 2026, 8:55 PM
Pickens brought in six of eight targets for 40 yards in the Cowboys' 37-20 win over the Commanders on Sunday.
Analysis: Pickens finished second in receptions and targets on the afternoon for the Cowboys, but he wasn't very efficient on a per-catch basis. The star wideout saw CeeDee Lamb take priority Sunday, with the latter finishing with an 8-153-2 line on nine targets. Pickens naturally remains a critical component of a high-upside Cowboys air attack, however, and his body of work last season supports the notion a breakout performance is imminent. |

Javonte Williams Javonte Williams Compiles 50 total yards in win
Sun, Sep 20, 2026, 8:44 PM
Williams rushed 12 times for 30 yards and brought in three of four targets for 20 yards in the Cowboys' 37-20 win over the Commanders on Sunday.
Analysis: The Commanders' front more than held its own against the Cowboys' offensive line, leading Williams to scratch and claw for yardage while Dak Prescott carved up Washington's defense through the air. Williams still played a clear lead role despite the modest amount of rush attempts, and he was once again an important complementary option in the passing game. Williams has another tough assignment on tap in Week 3, as the Cowboys welcome in the Ravens next Sunday. |

CeeDee Lamb CeeDee Lamb Standout effort in Week 2 win
Sun, Sep 20, 2026, 8:13 PM
Lamb brought in eight of nine targets for 153 yards and two touchdowns in the Cowboys' 37-20 win over the Commanders on Sunday.
Analysis: Lamb led the Cowboys in receptions and receiving yards by a wide margin, and he also set the pace in targets with one more than George Pickens. Lamb repeatedly victimized the Commanders' secondary throughout the afternoon, and his touchdowns came from three and 24 yards out in the first and fourth quarters, respectively. The 2020 first-round pick has cobbled together a 13-197-3 line over his first two games, and he'll continue to play a pivotal role in a Week 3 home matchup against the Ravens next Sunday. |

Jake Ferguson Jake Ferguson Bounces back with two TDs in win
Sun, Sep 20, 2026, 7:53 PM
Ferguson caught all four of his targets for 43 yards and two touchdowns in the Cowboys' 37-20 win over the Commanders on Sunday.
Analysis: After a quiet Week 1 against the Giants in which he caught just two passes for six scoreless yards, Ferguson bounced back with a pair of red-zone touchdowns against Washington. His four targets were still just fourth on the team, tied with Javonte Williams, behind CeeDee Lamb (nine), George Pickens (eight) and Ryan Flournoy (six) on a day Dak Prescott attempted 31 passes. Ferguson is shaping up as a touchdown-or-bust fantasy tight end headed into Week 3 versus Baltimore. |

Ruled out for Sunday
Sun, Sep 20, 2026, 5:28 PM
Durant (hamstring) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Commanders, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Analysis: Durant exited Sunday's contest after colliding with a teammate in the first half. The cornerback will be unable to play through the hamstring injury, leaving second-year player Shavon Revel to step in as the outside cornerback across from DaRon Bland. |
|
Won't return Sunday
Sun, Sep 20, 2026, 5:24 PM
Locke (foot) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Commanders, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Analysis: Locke exited the first quarter of Sunday's contest due to a foot injury. The Cowboys will need to finish the divisional contest with the Commanders without Locke or Malik Hooker (forearm), leaving slot cornerback Caleb Downs or reserve strong safety Markquese Bell to play free safety. |
|
Back in action
Sun, Sep 20, 2026, 4:45 PM
Winters (shoulder) has returned to Sunday's game against the Commanders, Tommy Yarrish of the Cowboys' official site reports.
Analysis: Winters sustained a toe injury in the first quarter and was taken to be medically evaluated. The inside linebacker is all set to return to Sunday's contest and is set to reclaim his defensive position from Shemar James and Jaishawn Barham. |
