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.

Hooker (toe) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Raiders, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hooker was designated to return from injured reserve Thursday. He opened the week with back-to-back limited practices before logging a full session Friday, which gives him a shot at making his return Monday from a five-game absence due to a toe injury. Hooker's return would be timely, given that fellow safety Alijah Clark (ribs/illness) is listed as questionable for Week 11.

Hooker (toe) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegramreports.

EDGE Analysis

After being placed on injured reserve due to a toe injury he sustained during the Cowboys' tie with the Packers in Week 4, Hooker logs the first practice of his 21-day window. If the free safety wants to have a chance be officially activated for Monday's contest against the Raiders he will have to string two more practices together Friday and Saturday.

The Cowboys announced Thursday that Hooker (toe) has been designated for return from injured reserve, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hooker was placed on IR after suffering a toe injury in the Cowboys' Week 4 game against the Packers. The 29-year-old will now have 21 days to officially be activated, but he'll need to string together multiple practices in order to do so. Once he returns, the nine-year veteran is figured to start alongside Donovan Wilson and will add a much-needed boost to the Cowboys' defense.

Hooker (toe) was placed on injured reserve Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Hooker was spotted in a walking boot after suffering a toe injury in Dallas' Week 4 tie against the Packers. Additionally, the Ohio State product was unable to practice all week, so his shift to IR comes as no surprise. While the veteran is sidelined for at least Dallas' next four games, Juanyeh Thomas is expected to step in and start at free safety.

Hooker (toe) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jets, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hooker sustained a toe injury during the Cowboys' 40-40 overtime tie with the Packers in Week 4. He was spotted in a walking boot Wednesday, and defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus confirmed Thursday that the veteran safety will not play against the Jets. Juanyeh Thomas played a season-high 51 defensive snaps in Week 4, and he figures to be the leading candidate to start alongside Donovan Wilson at safety due to Hooker's injury.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran safety from Ohio State sustained a toe injury in the Week 4 tie against the Packers and was expected to miss a couple of weeks, so it's no surprise that he'll likely be sidelined Sunday. If Hooker is unable to go, Markquese Bell is likely to start alongside Donovan Wilson to form the Cowboys' top safety duo in Week 5.

Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer said Monday that Hooker (toe) is still being evaluated but could miss a couple weeks due to the toe injury he sustained during Sunday night's 40-40 overtime tie with the Packers, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hooker was forced out of Sunday's tie in the second quarter, though he managed to tally four tackles (two solo) before leaving the field. It doesn't sound as though the veteran safety's injury is severe enough that it might require a stint on IR, but his status for Week 5 against the Jets and potentially Week 6 against the Panthers remains up in the air. Markquese Bell and Juanyeh Thomas will be candidates to handle increased defensive snaps if Hooker misses any time.

Hooker (toe) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday night's contest against the Packers, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hooker suffered a toe injury in the second quarter, and he will now be sidelined for the remainder of the team's Week 4 contest.
