Hooker (ankle) did not practice Wednesday, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hooker missed Sunday's loss to Buffalo due to an ankle injury, and his chance of playing this coming Sunday in Miami is in question given his inability to practice Wednesday. The veteran safety had been consistently logging at least three-fourths of Dallas' defensive snaps prior to the injury, so another absence would be a significant blow to the team's secondary. Juanyeh Thomas logged a season-high 39 defensive snaps with Hooker out against the Bills in Week 15, and Thomas would presumably see an increased workload again this Sunday if Hooker remains unable to suit up.

Hooker (ankle) is inactive Sunday against the Bills, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hooker closed the week with a limited practice after starting with back-to-back DNPs. The veteran safety has yet to miss a game this season, but that streak will come to an end in Week 15. Donovan Wilson will likely get the start in his place.

Hooker (illness) is active for Sunday's game against the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Hooker was added to Sunday's injury report due to an illness, but the issue won't prevent him from suiting up for the regular-season opener. Donovan Wilson (calf) has been ruled out, so Hooker could see an increased role in the secondary against the Giants.

Hooker has been added to the Cowboys' injury report ahead of their Week 1 matchup with the Giants as questionable due to an illness, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hooker's final status will ultimately depend on how he is feeling closer to kickoff. With Donovan Wilson (calf) deemed doubtful, the 27-year-old Hooker is trending toward a bigger role at free safety should he get the green light. However, if both are ruled out, Israel Mukuamu and Juanyeh Thomas would be next men up.
