  • Cowboys' Malik Hooker: Reliable again in 2023

    Hooker racked up 50 tackles (27 solo), three pass breakups, one interception, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery across 16 regular-season games with the Cowboys.

    Hooker has stayed mostly healthy across three seasons with Dallas and in that span ingratiated himself as one of the key members of the team's three-man safety rotation, alongside Jayron Kearse and Donovan Wilson. Hooker looks set for a similar role in the Cowboys secondary for the 2024 campaign, after which the team will have a potential 'out' from the 27-year-old's contract.

  • Cowboys' Malik Hooker: Good to go Week 18

    Hooker (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Commanders.

    Hooker was able to log a limited practice session Friday, and he will suit up for the Cowboys' regular-season finale. He's tallied 50 tackles (27 solo), three passes defended, one interception, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery over 15 games this season.

  • Cowboys' Malik Hooker: Questionable for Sunday

    Hooker (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Commanders.

    The 27-year-old safety seems to be trending in the right direction to play Sunday, as he's gone from recording back-to-back DNPs to open the Cowboys' week of practice to a limited session Friday. If Hooker is unable to suit up in Week 18, Israel Mukuamu could see increased snaps as a rotational defensive back in Dallas' secondary.

  • Cowboys' Malik Hooker: Misses practice Wednesday

    Hooker (ankle) did not participate at the Cowboys' practice Wednesday, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Hooker has been dealing with an ankle injury for a few weeks, but he's played in the team's last two contests, making Wednesday's absence less concerning. The safety will look to practice in full capacity at one of the Cowboys' final two sessions of the week ahead of their regular-season finale versus the Commanders on Sunday.

  • Cowboys' Malik Hooker: Logs full practice Wednesday

    Hooker (ankle) practiced without restrictions Wednesday, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports.

    Hooker missed Week 15 due to an ankle injury, but he was able to return and log 73 percent of Dallas' defensive snaps Sunday in a loss to Miami. The safety was deemed a limited participant in Tuesday's practice walk-through; however, his ability to practice in full one day later suggests that he didn't suffer any setbacks versus the Dolphins. As such, Hooker should be able to take the field Saturday in a key clash against the Lions.

  • Cowboys' Malik Hooker: Limited at walkthrough

    Hooker (ankle) was considered to be a limited participant at the Cowboys' walkthrough Tuesday, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

    Hooker was able to return from a one-game absence for Sunday's 22-20 loss to the Dolphins, recording four tackles (three solo) in the contest, so his status Tuesday isn't a major concern. He'll look to increase his workload at the team's final two sessions of the week prior to Saturday's matchup with the Lions.
