  • Cowboys' Luke Gifford: Gets core-muscle surgery

    Cowboys team owner Jerry Jones said Wednesday that Gifford recently underwent core-muscle surgery, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports. Including the postseason, Gifford played in all but one of the Cowboys' 19 games in 2022, seeing most of his playing time on special teams.

  • Cowboys' Luke Gifford: Added to injury report

    Gifford (hamstring) is questionable to play in Monday's game against the Giants, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports. Gifford was limited during Dallas' practice Sunday after participating in full throughout this week. The fourth-year linebacker tallied one tackle while playing exclusively on special teams (44 snaps) over the first two games this season. However, Gifford's potential absence would leave the Cowboys shorthanded behind starting weakside linebacker Anthony Barr.

  • Cowboys' Luke Gifford: Not present at practice

    Gifford (groin) was not practicing Monday, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports. The nature of Gifford's injury isn't clear at this point, and there's no concrete timetable for his recovery. As Dallas awaits the return of the 26-year-old special-teams contributor, his absence should create an increase in opportunities for 2022 sixth-rounder Devin Harper at linebacker.

  • Cowboys' Luke Gifford: Suspension comes to end

    Gifford's two-game suspension was lifted Thursday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports. Gifford was forced to sit out two weeks for violating the NFL's policy on performance-enhancing drugs, however, his official return appears to be on the horizon. The Nebraska product currently has a roster exemption, but it likely won't be long before he is cleared to return to team activities. He's appeared in six contests this season for the Cowboys, garnering just one defensive snap compared to 121 on special teams.

  • Cowboys' Luke Gifford: Set for expanded role?

    Gifford (arm) is a candidate to see increased playing time during the 2020 season, Nick Eatman of the Cowboys' official site reports. Gifford appeared in six contests as a rookie in 2019, during which he handled a role on special teams. Undergoing surgery to address a fractured left arm cut the Nebraska product's debut campaign short, but he's expected to make a full recovery this offseason. With Sean Lee's future in Dallas uncertain and Leighton Vander Esch recovering from neck surgery, Gifford could realistically carve out a rotational role on defense in 2020 if he's able to get back to full health and take a step forward in his development.

The 24-year-old is expected to have a recovery timeline of about six to eight weeks, so he should be ready to go for the offseason program.

  • Cowboys' Luke Gifford: Done for day

    Gifford won't return to Sunday's game against the Rams due to an arm injury, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports. The Cowboys entered the contest shorthanded with Leighton Vander Esch (neck) inactive, and now both Gifford and Joe Thomas (knee) -- who could return -- have left the contest. That leaves just Sean Lee and Chris Covington to work at outside linebacker, although Justin March is available to bump over from the interior.
