Clark (personal) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Per the Cowboys, Clark is attending to a personal matter and will not be with the team for Sunday's regular-season finale. He'll end the 2025 regular season with 18 tackles (nine solo) and one forced fumble across 11 games while contributing mostly on special teams. Markquese Bell will be the top reserve option at safety behind Malik Hooker and Donovan Wilson in Clark's absence.

Clark (ribs) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game against the Cardinals, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Clark did not log a practice this week due to the rib injury he suffered in last Sunday's 44-24 loss against the Broncos. The Cowboys' safety carousel will continue this week, with a number of other defensive backs potentially filling the role. Markquese Bell, C.J. Goodwin, Trikweze Bridges or Kaiir Elam all have a shot to be the third starting strong safety in as many weeks for the Cowboys defense.

Clark (ribs) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Broncos, Joe Hoyt of The Dallas Morning News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Clark sustained the injury during the second half of Sunday's game, and he was carted to the locker room to undergo more tests after being initially evaluated by medical staff on the sidelines. With Clark done for the day, the Cowboys may have to turn to a corner to fill in at safety such as C.J. Goodwin, Trikweze Bridges, Kaiir Elam or Corey Ballentine. Clark got the start at safety Sunday due to the absences of Donovan Wilson (elbow), Juanyeh Thomas (migraine) and Malik Hooker (toe -- IR).

Clark didn't practice Tuesday due to an elbow injury, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Clark may have injured his elbow during the Cowboys' preseason loss to the Rams on Saturday, when he played 54 snaps (48 on defense, six on special teams) and finished with five solo tackles. His practice participation over the next two days will be worth monitoring, as it will provide clarity on his chances of playing against Baltimore on Saturday.
