Cowboys' Malik Hooker: Added to injury report
Hooker has been added to the Cowboys' injury report ahead of their Week 1 matchup with the Giants as questionable due to an illness, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Hooker's final status will ultimately depend on how he is feeling closer to kickoff. With Donovan Wilson (calf) deemed doubtful, the 27-year-old Hooker is trending toward a bigger role at free safety should he get the green light. However, if both are ruled out, Israel Mukuamu and Juanyeh Thomas would be next men up.

Cowboys' Malik Hooker: Puts together solid season
Hooker recorded 62 tackles (44 solo) with three interceptions and a fumble recovery for a touchdown over 16 regular-season games in 2022.
The 26-year-old safety stayed mostly healthy, missing only a Week 8 contest against the Bears due to a hamstring strain, and as a result Hooker put together the most productive season of his career. The Cowboys' trio of safeties (Hooker, Donovan Wilson and Jayron Kearse) all posted strong numbers in coordinator Dan Quinn's defense, but with Wilson a free agent and potentially headed elsewhere, Hooker could see an increased workload in 2023.

Cowboys' Malik Hooker: Scores TD against former club
Hooker recorded two tackles and returned a fumble for a 38-yard touchdown in Sunday's 54-19 win over the Colts.
The safety was taken 15th overall by Indianapolis in the 2017 NFL Draft, but his career with the Colts was marred by multiple injuries and he joined the Cowboys as a free agent last season. Hooker got some revenge against his former employers by scooping up a fumble and racing down the sidelines for the second of five Dallas TDs in the fourth quarter. The 26-year-old has stayed healthy this year and through 11 games he has 43 tackles, eight shy of his prior career high.
