Smith (ankle) does not have any injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Colts, Tommy Yarrish of the Cowboys' official site reports.
Analysis: Smith upgraded to a full participant in Friday's practice after being limited in consecutive sessions to start Week 9 prep. The star left guard is all set to suit up for Sunday's contest to defend Dak Prescott against the Colts' pass rush. |

Ready for Week 9
Fri, Nov 6, 2026, 6:50 PM
Locke (concussion) holds no injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Colts, Tommy Yarrish of the Cowboys' official site reports.
Analysis: Locke has cleared the NFL's five-step concussion protocol and is all set to suit up for Sunday's contest. The starting strong safety has only played in three regular-season games so far in 2026, with only three defensive snaps played in Week 2. Sunday will mark consecutive games for Locke, meaning he may be all set to remain in a consistent role for the team. |

Porter (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Colts, Tommy Yarrish of the Cowboys' official site reports.
Analysis: Porter continues to deal with a persistent ankle injury that has plagued him throughout his 2026 time in Dallas. If the former Steeler cannot suit up for Sunday's game against the Colts, Cobie Durant will likely start at outside cornerback across from DaRon Bland. |

Questionable for Sunday
Fri, Nov 6, 2026, 6:32 PM
Overshown (hamstring/back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts, Tommy Yarrish of the Cowboys' official site reports.
Analysis: Overshown appeared on Thursday's injury report with multiple injuries. It remains unclear how serious the injuries are, but the linebacker was able to practice in a limited capacity during both Thursday's and Friday's sessions. Shemar James and Jaishawn Barham will likely see more snaps at inside linebacker if Overshown cannot suit up for Sunday's game against the Colts. |

Fri, Nov 6, 2026, 6:24 PM
Lawrence (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Colts, Tommy Yarrish of the Cowboys' official site reports.
Analysis: Lawrence remains sidelined with an ankle injury he sustained in the Cowboys' Week 8 overtime loss to the Cardinals. The first-round rookie did not practice throughout Week 9 prep and is set to miss some time due to the injury. Von Miller and Tyrus Wheat may see more rotational snaps on the edge with Lawrence absent. |

Fri, Nov 6, 2026, 6:19 PM
Turpin (ribs) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Colts, Tommy Yarrish of the Cowboys' official site reports.
Analysis: Turpin has not practiced since sustaining a rib injury in Week 6 and will now miss a third consecutive contest due to the issue.

Jake Ferguson Jake Ferguson Listed as questionable for Sunday
Fri, Nov 6, 2026, 2:13 PM
Ferguson (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts, Tommy Yarrish of the Cowboys' official site reports.
Analysis: Ferguson returned to practice Friday as a limited participant, after making an early exit Week 8 and missing practice earlier this week. Dallas has downplayed the severity of Ferguson's injury, but he looks no better than 50/50 ahead of a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday at Indianapolis. Brevyn Spann-Ford filled in after Ferguson's first-quarter exit last week, playing 88 percent of snaps on offense and catching four of five targets for 31 yards. |

Fri, Nov 6, 2026, 2:09 PM
Pickens (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Indianapolis, Tommy Yarrish of the Cowboys' official site reports.
Analysis: Pickens' practice reps were capped all week due to a lingering hamstring injury. Head coach Brian Schottenheimer told Yarrish on Friday that he's "hopeful" Pickens will be able to suit up this weekend, and Dallas will confirm as much about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. |

Head coach Brian Schottenheimer hopes that Ferguson (ankle) will be "back on the field" Friday, Tommy Yarrish of the Cowboys' official site reports.
Analysis: Ferguson did not get any work in Wednesday or Thursday due to the ankle injury he sustained in Week 8, but it appears there is a chance he could practice in some capacity Friday. The Cowboys will reveal his official status for Week 9 at some point following the conclusion of Friday's session. |

George Pickens George Pickens Will remain limited Friday
Fri, Nov 6, 2026, 8:49 AM

Analysis: Pickens was limited at practice both Wednesday and Thursday due to a hamstring issue, and it appears he will find himself in a similar spot at Friday's practice. The Cowboys will provide another update on his status after the latest session comes to a close. |
|
Limited Thursday
Thu, Nov 5, 2026, 7:21 PM
Smith (ankle) was limited in Thursday's practice, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: A thumb injury is what delayed the start of Smith's season, but he's now dealing with an ankle issue. Back-to-back limited practices should allow the star left guard to play Sunday against the Colts. |
|
Practices in full Thursday
Thu, Nov 5, 2026, 5:41 PM
Winters (calf) was a full participant in practice Thursday, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Winters was limited Wednesday. However, after logging a full session Thursday, all signs are pointing toward his availability for the Week 9 meeting with the Colts. The 2023 No. 216 overall pick has appeared in six games in his first season in Dallas, amassing 35 total tackles (23 solo) and one interception. |

Pops up on practice report Thursday
Thu, Nov 5, 2026, 5:32 PM
Overshown (hamstring/back) was limited in Thursday's practice, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Overshown popped up on the practice report due to a couple of nagging injuries. There will presumably be more clarity Friday regarding his status for the Week 9 meeting with the Colts. However, if Overshown can't get out there for that contest, Shemar James and Jaishawn Barham may be in line for more snaps. |
|
Limited at practice Thursday
Thu, Nov 5, 2026, 5:25 PM
Downs (concussion) was limited during Thursday's practice, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Downs sustained a concussion in the Week 8 loss to the Cardinals and didn't practice Wednesday. While he likely has a way to go before being cleared to suit up versus the Colts on Sunday, he's seemingly moving in a positive direction. The 22-year-old has appeared in all eight games for the Cowboys in 2026, amassing 52 total tackles (30 solo), including 1.0 sacks. |

Jake Ferguson Jake Ferguson Remains unavailable Thursday
Thu, Nov 5, 2026, 3:57 PM
Ferguson (ankle) did not practice Thursday, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Ferguson's back-to-back absences to kick off Week 9 prep don't bode well for his availability Sunday against the Colts. He sustained a low-ankle sprain after playing just four snaps during Dallas' Week 8 loss to the Cardinals. Brevyn Spann-Ford worked as the team's top TE after Ferguson's exit. Ferguson will have one more opportunity to practice Friday before Dallas posts Week 9 game statuses. |
|
George Pickens George Pickens Another limited session
Thu, Nov 5, 2026, 3:51 PM
Pickens (hamstring) was limited at Thursday's practice, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Pickens maintained his activity level from Wednesday as he deals with lingering shoulder and hamstring injuries. He still was able to handle a 57 percent snap share this past Sunday against the Cardinals, but he mustered only two catches (on four targets) for 48 yards. Friday's practice report will unveil whether or not Pickens heads into the weekend with a designation for Sunday's game at Indianapolis. |
|
Full practice Wednesday
Wed, Nov 4, 2026, 10:53 PM
Shelton (hamstring) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Patrik Walker of the Cowboys' official site reports.
Analysis: The fourth-round rookie has been sidelined since Week 4 and has played a total of five offensive snaps this season. |
|
Not ready to return to practice
Wed, Nov 4, 2026, 9:45 PM
Thompson (hamstring) has not had his 21-day practice window opened yet, Joe Hoyt of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Analysis: Thompson is still working his way back from a hamstring injury that forced the team to place him on injured reserve in late September, and he is not ready to return to practice quite yet. In his absence, P.J. Locke (concussion), Malik Hooker and Markquese Bell are poised to continue to operate as the Cowboys' primary safeties for the time being. |
|
Limited Wednesday
Wed, Nov 4, 2026, 8:17 PM
Winters (calf) was limited in Wednesday's practice, Patrik Walker of the Cowboys' official site reports.
Analysis: Winters was injured in Week 6 against Green Bay and has missed the past two contests. Shemar James and Demarvion Overshown handled linebacker duties last Sunday against the Cardinals. |
