Hooker (back) is active for Thursday night's contest against Detroit.

EDGE Analysis

Hooker was limited at practice all week with a back injury, but he'll now officially be able to give it a go in Week 14. The safety has also been nursing a pair of toe and thigh injuries over the last few weeks, but he's expected to start opposite of Donovan Wilson versus the Lions.

Hooker (back) is listed as questionable ahead of Thursday night's matchup against the Lions, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hooker practiced in a limited capacity all week after likely sustaining a back injury in the Week 13 win over the Chiefs, but he's still got a chance to play Thursday. The veteran safety has appeared in just seven games this season, recording 29 total tackles and one pass defensed. If active in Week 14, Hooker is expected to start opposite Donovan Wilson in the Cowboys' secondary.

Hooker was limited in practice Monday due to a back injury, Clarence Hill Jr. of AllDLLS.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hooker has dealt with a toe issue almost all season, but that injury isn't noted on Monday's injury report. Instead, the veteran safety is deemed to have a back issue. Hooker's ability to log a limited session may mean that he's not dealing with a major injury, but he could enter Thursday with a designation if he's not able to practice in full over the next two days.

Hooker (toe/thigh) has no injury designation ahead of Thursday's matchup against the Cowboys, Clarence Hill Jr. of AllDLLS.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 29-year-old upgraded from a limited practice session Tuesday to a full go Wednesday, suggesting he's moved past his injuries in time to play Thursday. Hooker has appeared in just six games this season, recording 28 total tackles and one pass defensed. Now fully healthy, he's expected to operate as Dallas' top free safety in Week 13.

Hooker (toe/thigh) was a limited participant during Monday's walkthrough practice, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hooker continues to play through a toe injury that caused him to miss the Cowboys' five games prior to the Week 10 bye, but he also appears to be dealing with a thigh issue that he likely picked up during Sunday's 24-21 overtime win over the Eagles. He will have two more chances to log a full practice and avoid an injury tag ahead of Thursday's game against Kansas City. In the two games since his return, Hooker has accumulated eight tackles (four solo) and one pass defense.

Hooker (toe/personal) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Eagles, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hooker ended up getting in a full practice Friday after logging a DNP on Thursday. After returning to the lineup from injured reserve last Monday night, Hooker should be ready to roll against Philly after playing 73 percent of the defensive snaps against Las Vegas.

Hooker (toe) did not participate in practice Thursday due to a personal matter, Clarence Hill Jr. of AllDLLS.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The safety was limited Wednesday with the toe injury, but since his absence Thursday was not injury related, he can perhaps be considered on track to play Sunday if he returns to the team. Dallas has another practice Friday. Hooker was activated from injured reserve for Monday's win over the Raiders, in which he logged 44 defensive snaps.

Hooker (toe) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hooker was activated from injured reserve ahead of Monday's game against the Raiders, when he logged three solo tackles and a pass defense during the Cowboys' 33-16 win. He missed the five prior games while on IR due to a toe injury, and he'll have his practice reps limited to avoid aggravating the issue. Hooker will have two more opportunities to increase his practice participation ahead of Sunday's game against Philadelphia.

Hooker (toe) is active for Monday night's game against the Raiders.

EDGE Analysis

Hooker was injured in the Cowboys' tie with the Packers in Week 4 and was just activated from injured reserve earlier Monday. With Juanyeh Thomas (migraines) out at least the next four games, Hooker should slide right back into his starting role on the back end of the Dallas defense.

The Cowboys activated Hooker (toe) from injured reserve Monday, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hooker remains listed as questionable, but his activation ahead of Monday night's game against the Raiders would suggest he has a good chance to play. With Juanyeh Thomas (migraines) placed on the reserve/NFI list last week, Hooker's return would be welcomed by Dallas' struggling defense.
