What happened: Dallas released its first injury report ahead of the Houston matchup. Cobie Durant and DeMarvion Overshown did not participate in team drills, while Malik Hooker participated for the first time since his forearm fracture.
Why it matters: The absences test Dallas depth in the secondary to open the week. Hooker's participation marks a step toward restoring a starter in that group.
By the numbers: Cobie Durant made 40 tackles with 3 interceptions in 17 games in 2025 with the Rams. Malik Hooker made 52 tackles in 12 games in 2025 with the Cowboys.
What to watch: Watch Thursday and Friday practice designations for Durant, Overshown and Hooker.
