The Texans claimed Clark off waivers Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Clark is headed to Houston after being waived by the Cowboys on Tuesday. The 25-year-old likely will serve as a reserve defender and can contribute on special teams as well.

The Cowboys waived Clark on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

With DeMarvion Overshown (knee) back in the lineup for Week 11 following the acquisition of Logan Wilson at the trade deadline, Clark was inactive Monday night against Las Vegas and squeezed out of a roster spot Tuesday. Clark has recorded 14 tackles (seven solo) across eight appearances for Dallas this season.

Clark (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Commanders.

EDGE Analysis

Clark began the season with a substantial role on Dallas' defense but has slipped into a special teams role since Week 8. Overall, he saw his defensive snaps drop from 741 in 2023 to 159 in 2024, and he'll close the campaign in disappointing fashion as a healthy scratch.

Clark (coach's decision) is inactive for Week 11 against Houston on Monday Night Football, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

EDGE Analysis

Clark was a starter last season and began this year logging a healthy amount of defensive snaps, but be played only on special teams in Weeks 8 and 9 before notching 31 percent of Dallas' defensive snaps in Week 10. He wasn't tagged with an injury designation this week, so his inactive status Monday appears to be a coach's decision. Nick Vigil entered Monday deemed questionable with a foot injury, but he's active and will likely soak up extra snaps in Clark's absence.

Clark recorded a team-high nine tackles, including 0.5 sacks, in Sunday's loss to the Lions.

EDGE Analysis

With Eric Kendricks (calf) sidelined, it was Clark and not DeMarvion Overshown who stepped up as the Cowboys' leading tackler. Clark had fallen out of the linebacker rotation completely just one week before, however, seeing zero defensive snaps and 18 special-teams snaps in a Week 5 win over the Steelers. With Kendricks able to use Dallas' bye to get healthy, Clark may not maintain a fantasy-friendly role in Week 8 against the 49ers.

Clark recorded seven tackles (five solo) in the Cowboys' Week 2 loss to the Saints on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

After playing just 34 percent of the defensive snaps off the bench in the Week 1 win over the Browns, Clark started and doubled his snap share -- 69 percent -- versus New Orleans. Through two games, Clark has 11 tackles (seven solo) to his name. He's also played 18 snaps on special teams.

Clark (knee) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice session, Nick Harris of the Cowboys' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Clark had been dealing with a sore left knee since mid-August, but he appears to be good to go for Week 1 against Cleveland on Sunday. The 2022 fifth-round pick took a giant leap during his sophomore campaign, and he finished 2023 with 109 tackles (70 solo), three passes defended and one fumble recovery over 17 regular-season games.

Clark didn't practice Wednesday due to a sore left knee, Nick Harris of DallasCowboys.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The third-year linebacker doesn't appear to be dealing with a serious injury, but at this stage of camp the Cowboys aren't going to push a defensive starter too hard. Clark stepped up last season with a career-high 109 tackles, and he could take his production higher in 2024 in new defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer's linebacker-friendly scheme.

Clark recorded a career-high 109 tackles (70 solo) while adding three passes defended and a fumble recovery over 17 regular-season games in 2023.

EDGE Analysis

He added eight more stops in a wild-card loss to the Packers. A fifth-round pick in 2022 due to back surgery that significantly impacted his draft stock, Clark looked 100 percent recovered as he played in every game for the Cowboys and took over an every-down role for most of the year. Leighton Vander Esch still has one season left on his contract, but he played only five games in 2023 and would be an easy cut to save cap space, potentially putting the speedy Clark in a starting role right from Week 1 next season.

Clark recorded a team-high 11 tackles (seven solo) in Sunday's loss to the Bills.

EDGE Analysis

The Cowboys' defense spent more time on the field than usual as the offense's road woes continued, and Clark took advantage by producing double-digit tackles for the third time this season. The second-year linebacker needs just six more stops for the first 100-tackle campaign of his career, a mark he could reach in Week 16 against the Dolphins, but his lack of splash plays limits his IDP upside -- Clark has zero sacks or INTs in 24 career NFL games.
