  • Cowboys' Donovan Wilson: Still in starting role

    Wilson appears headed for another season as a starting safety for the Cowboys. The 29-year-old Texas A&M product missed the first two games of last season with a calf injury, but he put together a 100-tackle pace over 15 regular-season games after returning to action. Wilson's impressive IDP numbers the last two years came with Dan Quinn as his defensive coordinator, but the switch to Mike Zimmer shouldn't impact him too much, as Zimmer's defenses have a long track record of setting up safeties for success -- Harrison Smith made six Pro Bowls in eight seasons for the Vikings with Zimmer as his head coach.

  • Cowboys' Donovan Wilson: Solid numbers in 2023

    Wilson recorded 88 tackles (55 solo) while adding three passes defended (two interceptions), one forced fumble and two fumble recoveries over 15 regular-season games in 2023. The 28-year-old safety missed the first two games of the year with a calf injury and didn't start seeing a full workload until Week 5, but Wilson was his usual tackling machine self down the stretch, with 53 of his stops coming in the Cowboys' final seven regular-season games. He's thrived in defensive coordinator Dan Quinn's scheme, but Wilson's 2024 outlook could take a hit if Quinn takes a head coaching job elsewhere this offseason.

  • Cowboys' Donovan Wilson: Big day in win over Detroit

    Wilson recorded a team-high 11 tackles (six solo) and added an interception in a Week 17 win over the Lions. The fifth-year safety reached double-digit tackles for the second straight game as he moves back into a leading role in Dan Quinn's defense. The INT was Wilson's first of the season and the fourth of his career, and he's coming on strong down the stretch with 48 tackles over the last six games. With the Cowboys looking to lock up the NFC East title with a win in Week 18 over the Commanders, Wilson and the rest of the defensive starters should see their usual workloads.

    Wilson recorded a team-high 12 tackles (eight solo) in Sunday's 22-20 loss to the Dolphins. The fifth-year safety reached double-digit tackles for the first time this season.

  • Cowboys' Donovan Wilson: Status for Week 2 in question

    Wilson (calf) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's estimated injury report, Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports. Wilson had a big workout Wednesday, according to head coach Mike McCarthy, who is hopeful the safety will be able to practice Thursday, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports. The 28-year-old was unable to play Week 1 against the Giants and will likely need to log at least a limited session this week if he's going to play Sunday against the Jets. If Wilson is ultimately unable to play, Malik Hooker will likely get the start at free safety.
