Cowboys' Dee Winters: Back in action Sunday
Winters (head) has returned to Sunday's Week 9 matchup against the Colts, Patrik Walker of the Cowboys' official site reports.
Winters was evaluated for a concussion earlier in the second half but was ultimately cleared to return. That's a big boost to Dallas' defense, especially since fellow linebacker DeMarvion Overshown (hamstring/back) was unable to suit up Sunday.

Cowboys' Dee Winters: Being examined for possible concussion
Winters is being evaluated for a concussion and is questionable to return to Sunday's Week 9 tilt against Indianapolis, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Winters went to the blue medical tent in the second half and subsequently headed to the locker room. DeMarvion Overshown (hamstring/back) is inactive Sunday, so Shemar James and Jaishawn Barham could be Dallas' inside linebackers the rest of the way if Winters is unable to return.

Winters (calf) was a full participant in practice Thursday, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
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.

Cowboys' Dee Winters: Won't play against Arizona
Winters (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Tommy Yarrish of the Cowboys' official site reports.
Winters has not been cleared to practice since suffering a calf injury against the Packers in Week 6. He'll be sidelined for a second consecutive game, so Shemar James should once again start alongside DeMarvion Overshown at inside linebacker, with Jaishawn Barham providing depth. Winters' next opportunity to play is Week 9 against the Colts on Sunday, Nov. 8.

Cowboys' Dee Winters: Deemed DNP again Thursday
Winters (calf) didn't practice Thursday, Tommy Yarrish of the Cowboys' official site reports.
Winters suffered a calf injury in Week 6 against Green Bay and hasn't practiced since. He's likely trending toward missing Sunday's Week 8 matchup against Arizona, though the veteran linebacker could give himself a chance to suit up in that contest if he's able to practice in some capacity Friday. Should Winters miss another game, however, Shemar James would likely start in his place.

Winters (calf) did not participate in Wednesday's practice, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Cowboys' Dee Winters: Sidelined for Week 7
Winters (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
Winters was unable to practice all week due to what was designated as a calf injury, and the third-year linebacker will end up missing his first game of the season. The good news for the Cowboys is that DeMarvion Overshown is back in the fold, and he'll be joined by either Shemar James or Jaishawn Barham at inside linebacker for Monday night's contest. Winters' next opportunity to play is Week 8 against Arizona on Sunday, Nov. 1.

Winters (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday night's contest against Green Bay, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
