What happened: The Dallas Cowboys provided updates on several injured defensive players, noting safety P.J. Locke is out of his walking boot for a plantar fasciitis issue. Linebacker DeMarvion Overshown is progressing well from a hamstring injury but remains a low probability to play, while cornerback Cobie Durant will begin on-field rehab for his hamstring. Safety Malik Hooker continues to rehab a forearm injury.

Why it matters: The updates offer a mixed bag for a Dallas defense dealing with significant attrition. Locke's progression is a positive sign for the safety unit, though Overshown's likely absence requires the Cowboys to continue relying on their recently added linebacker depth.

What to watch: Dallas will monitor Durant's on-field rehab to determine his availability, while Overshown's status will depend on his progress through the week.
