Top Marist Liufau News

  • Cowboys' Marist Liufau: Remaining on IR for Week 7

    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

    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' Marist Liufau: Has practice window opened

    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' Marist Liufau: Placed on IR, designated to return

    Liufau (forearm) was placed on injured reserve by the Cowboys on Sunday with a designation to return, Nick Eatman of the team's official website reports.

    Liufau suffered a broken left forearm during the team's preseason finale against New Orleans on Friday. The linebacker will now be forced to miss at least four contests to open the regular season while on IR. Liufau is primarily a special-teams asset, so his absence won't carry a major impact on defense.

  • Cowboys' Marist Liufau: Breaks forearm in preseason finale

    Liufau broke his left forearm during the Cowboys' 27-24 preseason loss to the Saints on Friday, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

    Liufau is expected to miss multiple weeks while recovering from his injury, but it's not considered a season-ending issue. He could undergo surgery as early as Monday, and it wouldn't be surprising to see the 2024 third-rounder open the regular season on injured reserve.

  • Cowboys' Marist Liufau: Ruled out due to wrist injury

    Liufau (wrist) has been ruled out for the remainder of Friday night's preseason finale against the Saints, Tommy Yarrish of the Cowboys' official site reports.

    Liufau left during the first half with a wrist injury. The linebacker's preseason is now over. It remains to be seen if the 25-year-old will be maintained or waived during Sunday's cutdown day.

  • Cowboys' Marist Liufau: Questionable with wrist issue

    Liufau (wrist) is questionable to return to Friday's preseason finale against the Saints, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

    Liufau sustained the injury in the first half while playing his new position as an outside linebacker. This will be the 25-year-old's first season as an edge rusher, so new issues as he adjusts to the position in a live game are not entirely surprising. If Liufau cannot return to the contest, Isaiah Land or Tyrus Wheat may see an increase in defensive snaps throughout the second half.

  • Cowboys' Marist Liufau: Bulks up ahead of position switch

    Liufau is expected to play outside linebacker under new Cowboys defensive coordinator Christian Parker this season, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    In anticipation of the move from off-ball linebacker to the edge for Dallas, Liufau has bulked up this offseason. "I'm excited, [it's] just another opportunity to get on the field," Liufau said. "At the end of the day, it's not something I can't do. I'm excited to really showcase what I can do. I will be fine." Liufau is expected to get more opportunities to rush the passer under Parker. A third-round pick in 2024, Liufau has appeared in all 34 regular-season games since entering the league but logged just 18 percent of the defensive snaps under DC Matt Eberflus last season. With Parker now at the controls on the defensive side, Liufau could get more reps in tandem with Rashan Gary.

  • Cowboys' Marist Liufau: Impressing early in camp

    Liufau is looking faster than he did as a rookie last season during the early part of training camp, Patrik Walker of DallasCowboys.com reports. "That was a big thing that I wanted to work on this offseason, and also my conditioning," Liufau said this week. "Knowing [new defensive coordinator Matt] Eberflus' system, we're gonna be running a lot, and it emphasizes running through the ball, and so we got to be in the best shape to be able to dominate and play the kind of defense that we want."

    A third-round pick in 2024, Liufau began last season bouncing between a depth role on defense and special teams, but by the final month of the campaign the Notre Dame product was not only starting, he was wearing the green dot for coordinator Mike Zimmer. Liufau recorded 24 tackles (12 solo) with two forced fumbles and a pass defended over his final four games of 2024, but in Eberflus' linebacker-friendly scheme, his production could skyrocket, especially with DeMarvion Overshown (knee) not expected to be ready until midseason.
