EDGE Analysis

Heath was forced out of Monday's win over the Giants due to a laceration in his knee, the severity of which caused him to receive 12 stitches.

EDGE Analysis

Heath suffered a knee laceration while making a tackle during the second half's opening kickoff, for which he required 12 stitches.

Heath collected nine tackles (seven solo) in Sunday's blowout win over the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Heath was all over the field in the win, even making a tackle for loss and two passes defended to add to his impressive stat line. He and Xavier Woods provide a solid duo at the safety position, and will get a solid match up against the Redskins for Week 2.

Heath (stinger) was back at practice with the first-team defense Wednesday, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

He got some limited reps with the second-team unit Tuesday, but Heath appeared to be fully recovered from his stinger Wednesday. He'll slot in as a starting safety for the Cowboys this season alongside Xavier Woods.

Heath didn't play in Saturday's preseason game due to a neck stinger, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

The injury doesn't appear to be serious. Assuming it doesn't linger into the regular season, Heath should still line up as the starting strong safety for the Cowboys in Week 1.

Heath finished the regular season with a career-high 85 tackles, one interception on five passes defended, and one forced fumble.

EDGE Analysis

The 27-year-old safety continues to do yeoman's work at the back end for the Cowboys. Heath is far from elite at his position, but he's not a liability in pass coverage and can still come up with a big hit now and then, giving him a steady IDP floor even if he has a limited ceiling.

Heath recorded nine tackles (seven solo) in Sunday's loss to the Colts, setting a new career high with 74 tackles on the season.

EDGE Analysis

He's also chipped in one interception on four passes defended, and one forced fumble on the year. Heath doesn't do quite enough to land on the radar in most IDP formats, but he's been a steady presence in the Cowboys' secondary for the last couple of seasons.
