Cowboys' Quinnen Williams: Limited in practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Williams (hamstring) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
Williams is dealing with a hamstring injury he likely sustained in the Cowboys' Week 7 win over the Eagles on Monday. The defensive lineman will likely need to upgrade to a full participant by Friday's practice to avoid any injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
Downs (ankle) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
Downs likely suffered his ankle injury in the Cowboys' Week 7 win over the Eagles on Monday. The defensive back's ability to practice, even in a limited capacity, just two days after sustaining the injury means he will likely be capable of suiting up for Sunday's contest against the Cardinals.

Rotowire
Winters (calf) did not participate in Wednesday's practice, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
Winters remains sidelined with a calf injury he sustained in the Cowboys' Week 6 loss to the Packers. If the inside linebacker cannot upgrade to at least a limited participant by Friday's practice, he will likely be ruled out ahead of the Week 8 showdown with the Cardinals.

Cowboys' DeMarvion Overshown: Picks off McKee in return
Rotowire
Overshown posted six tackles (five solo) and two pass defenses (including one interception) during the Cowboys' 38-21 win over the Eagles on Monday.
Overshown was given the green light by medical staff to play Monday after missing the Cowboys' five previous games due to a hamstring injury. The fourth-year linebacker ended up co-leading Dallas in tackles and he picked off Tanner McKee midway through the fourth quarter. Overshown has played in only 21 regular-season games since being selected by the Cowboys in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft, but he's still a key piece in the defense when healthy.

Cowboys' P.J. Locke: Won't play against Philadelphia
Rotowire
Locke (foot) has been downgraded from questionable to out for Monday's game against the Eagles.
Locke's 21-day practice window opened Friday, and he was a limited participant in each of the last two practices of Week 7 prep. He's in the final stages of his recovery from a foot injury, but he's not quite ready to be activated from IR. His next opportunity to play is Week 8 against the Cardinals on Sunday, Nov. 1.

Cowboys' Marist Liufau: Remaining on IR for Week 7
Rotowire
Liufau (forearm) has been downgraded from questionable to out ahead of Monday night's game against the Eagles.
Liufau was designated to return from injured reserve Thursday and was a full practice participant Friday and Saturday. That was enough for him to draw the questionable tag, but the third-year pro has not progressed enough in his recovery from a broken left forearm. Given his ability to practice without restrictions, Liufau has a good chance of being activated from IR for Week 8 against the Cardinals on Nov. 1.

Cowboys' Marist Liufau: Questionable against Philadelphia
Rotowire
Liufau (forearm) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Eagles, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
Liufa broke his left forearm during the Cowboys' preseason finale against the Saints in late August, which prompted his placement on injured reserve to open the regular season. He was cleared to return to practice Thursday and ended Week 7 prep with back-to-back full sessions, but he would need to be activated from IR in order to be available for Monday night's contest.

Cowboys' Cobie Durant: Cleared for Monday Night Football
Rotowire
Durant (hamstring) does not have an injury designation for Monday's game against Philadelphia, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
Durant was a full practice participant Friday and Saturday, and that was enough for the fifth-year defensive back to avoid an injury tag for Monday night's game. His presence gives the Cowboys another contributor on special teams and depth in the secondary behind starting outside cornerbacks Joey Porter and DaRon Bland.

Cowboys' Dee Winters: Sidelined for Week 7
Rotowire
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.

Cowboys' P.J. Locke: Practice window opens
Rotowire
The Cowboys opened Locke's (foot) 21-day practice window Friday, Tommy Yarrish of the team's official site reports.
The Cowboys placed Locke on injured reserve Sept. 26. The safety likely won't be available for Monday night's showdown with the Eagles, but Week 8 against the Cardinals is on the table. Locke will need to be activated by Nov. 13 or he must spend the remainder of the 2026 season on IR.

Cowboys' Marist Liufau: Has practice window opened
Rotowire
The Cowboys designated Liufau (forearm) to return from injured reserve Thursday.
The move opens Liufau's 21-day practice window, meaning the Cowboys can take up to three weeks to decide whether to activate the third-year defender or rule him out for the season. Liufau was a limited participant in practice Thursday, per Tommy Yarrish of the Cowboys' official site, and it's unclear if he'll be activated ahead of Monday's matchup in Philadelphia. Liufau was primarily a special-teamer last season and could take on a similar role as a rotational linebacker upon his potential return.

Cowboys' Cobie Durant: Logs limited practice Thursday
Rotowire
Durant (hamstring) was a limited participant at practice Thursday, Tommy Yarrish of the Cowboys' official site reports.
Durant has been sidelined for the Cowboys' past four games with a hamstring injury he suffered back in Week 2 versus the Commanders, and his availability for Week 7 is now in question. His activity at practice Friday and Saturday should offer more insight into whether he'll be able to play Monday at Philadelphia.

Cowboys' DeMarvion Overshown: Appears ready to return to action
Rotowire
Overshown (hamstring) practiced in full Thursday, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
Overshown hasn't played since suffering a hamstring injury Week 1 versus the Giants. However, director of player personnel Stephen Jones said Monday that the linebacker has a "great chance" to play in Week 7, and Overshown's return to action seems all but certain given his ability to log a full practice Thursday. Should he in fact suit up, Overshown should slide back in as a starter after logging a 74 percent defensive snap share in his lone appearance so far this season.

Caelen Carson: Cut loose by Dallas
Rotowire
Carson was waived by the Cowboys on Tuesday.
Carson will be placed on waivers after appearing in three games with the Cowboys this season, during which he recorded one tackle while playing 17 snaps on defense and 28 snaps with the special-teams unit.

Rotowire
Overshown (hamstring) is on track to play in Week 7 against the Eagles, Joe Hoyt of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Overshown compiled 28 total tackles (15 solo) over six regular-season games in 2025, and he'll have a chance to provide a big boost to a struggling Dallas defense.
