Donovan Wilson Injury News & Updates
Dec 1, 2025
Still dealing with neck issue
Wilson was limited in practice Monday due to a neck injury, Clarence Hill Jr. of AllDLLS.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilson's neck issue first appeared on last Monday's practice report. He was ultimately cleared to play against Kansas City on Thanksgiving and logged his usual near-every-down role, finishing with five tackles and a forced fumble. It appears that Wilson isn't quite past the injury, but given his ability to play through it last week and to log a limited session Monday, he's probably trending toward playing this Thursday versus Detroit.
Nov 30, 2025
Forces fumble in win
Wilson finished with five tackles (two solo) and a forced fumble in Thursday's 31-28 win over the Chiefs.
ANALYSIS
The safety also played on more than 80 percent of the defensive snaps for the third straight game since returning from an elbow injury that forced him to miss two contests. Wilson has been on the field for most of Dallas' defensive snaps this season when healthy. He has 49 tackles (30 solo), four pass breakups, including two interceptions, and now a forced fumble on the year.
Nov 26, 2025
Past neck issue
Wilson (neck) has no injury designation ahead of Thursday's matchup against the Chiefs, Clarence Hill Jr. of AllDLLS.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilson was dealing with a neck injury following the Cowboys' Week 12 win over the Eagles, but he practiced in full Wednesday, suggesting he's moved past the issue in time for Thursday's contest. The 30-year-old has appeared in nine games for Dallas this season, recording 44 total tackles and four passes defensed, including two interceptions. Now fully health, Wilson is expected to start alongside Malik Hooker to form the Cowboys' top safety duo in Week 13.
Nov 24, 2025
Nursing neck injury
Wilson (neck) was a limited participant in Monday's walkthrough practice, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilson may have tweaked his neck during the Cowboys' 24-21 overtime win over the Eagles on Sunday, when he played every single defensive snap and finished with five solo tackles and a pass defense. His limited participation in Monday's walkthrough indicates that the injury isn't considered a serious one, and he'll have two more opportunities to increase his practice participation and avoid an injury designation heading into Thursday's game against the Chiefs.
Nov 20, 2025
Practices in full
Wilson (elbow) was a full participant in practice Thursday, Clarence Hill Jr. of AllDLLS.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The safety was limited during Wednesday's session. Wilson played 80 percent of the defensive snaps last Monday against the Raiders, but he did miss the previous two games with an elbow issue. The seventh-year pro appears on track to play Sunday against Philadelphia.
Nov 19, 2025
Still nursing elbow injury
Wilson (elbow) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilson missed two games due to an elbow injury, but he was cleared to play against the Raiders on Monday, when he logged three tackles (two solo) while playing 48 of 60 defensive snaps (80 percent). His limited practice participation Wednesday could just be an effort from the Cowboys to reduce the risk of aggravating the injury, and he'll have two more opportunities to increase his practice participation and avoid an injury tag for Sunday's NFC East clash against the Eagles.
Nov 15, 2025
Cleared to play Week 11
Wilson (elbow/shoulder) does not carry an injury designation into Monday's game against Las Vegas, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilson ended Week 11 prep with a full practice Saturday, and he has been cleared to return from a two-game absence due to an elbow injury. The Cowboys could also be getting Malik Hooker (toe) back from injured reserve, further strengthening the team's secondary for MNF.
Nov 13, 2025
Limited in practice Thursday
Wilson (elbow) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilson did not play in the Cowboys Week 8 loss to the Broncos nor the Week 9 loss to the Cardinals due to an elbow injury he sustained against the Commanders in Week 7. After resting up during the Cowboys' bye, the starting strong safety returned for Thursday's practice in a limited capacity and looks to be trending up. If the 30-year-old veteran can string together two more practices Friday and Saturday he has a chance to suit up for his first game since Week 7.
Nov 1, 2025
Ruled out for MNF
Wilson (elbow) was ruled out ahead of Monday's game against the Cardinals, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilson missed Dallas' Week 8 loss to the Broncos and will be in line for his second consecutive absence. With Juanyeh Thomas (migraine) questionable, the Cowboys could be very thin in the back end of their secondary in Monday's matchup against the Cardinals.
Oct 30, 2025
Opens week with DNP
Wilson (elbow) didn't practice Thursday, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilson was unable to play against the Broncos in Week 8 due to an elbow injury he aggravated in Week 7 against the Commanders. He'll have two more opportunities to return to practice in at least a limited capacity, which would give him a chance to return for the Cowboys' Week 9 tilt against the Cardinals on Monday.
Oct 24, 2025
Ruled out for Week 8
Wilson (elbow) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Patrik Walker of the Cowboys' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilson played through the elbow issue last Sunday against Washington after he was initially injured in Week 6, so it's fair to wonder if he suffered setback. Alijah Clark will likely see increased reps on defense for Dallas.
Oct 22, 2025
Back on injury report
Wilson (elbow) did not practice Wednesday, Clarence Hill Jr. of AllDLLS.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilson suffered the injury in Week 6, but he managed to play through it Sunday against the Commanders. He worked in limited fashion last Wednesday, so it's unclear if the injury worsened or if the Cowboys are just opting to give Wilson additional rest.
Oct 17, 2025
Cleared to play Week 7
Wilson (elbow) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against Washington, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilson picked up an injury during the Cowboys' Week 7 loss to the Panthers, which limited him in the first two practices of the week. He practiced without restrictions Friday, and the 2019 sixth-rounder has been given the green light to play in Sunday's home contest. Wilson has 35 tackles (20 solo) and three pass defenses (two interceptions) through the first six games of the regular season.
Oct 15, 2025
Working through elbow injury
Wilson was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to an elbow injury, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilson played 63 defensive snaps and recorded his second interception of the season during the Cowboys' Week 6 loss to the Panthers, but he looks to have picked up an elbow injury in the process. He would likely avoid an injury designation heading into Sunday's game against the Commanders with a full practice over the next two days.
Oct 14, 2025
Snags pick versus Panthers
Wilson logged six tackles (five solo) and an interception during the Cowboys' loss to the Panthers on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Wilson snagged his second pick of the campaign Sunday, matching his career-high total from both 2020 and 2023. The 30-year-old will look to keep producing in the team's Week 7 matchup versus the Commanders.
Oct 13, 2025
Another pick in Sunday's loss
Wilson recorded six tackles (five solo) and an interception in Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Panthers.
ANALYSIS
The pick was Wilson's second in the last five games, a stretch in which he's made a splash in IDP formats with 34 tackles as well. With the Dallas defense flailing this season and unable to get off the field most of the time, there should be plenty of opportunities for the veteran safety to continue piling up stats.
Oct 10, 2025
Will play Sunday
Wilson (elbow) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Panthers, Clarence Hill Jr. of AllDLLS.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilson opened the week with a DNP due to an elbow injury he likely picked up during the Cowboys' Week 5 win over the Jets. He ended the week with an LP-FP practice log and has been cleared to play in Sunday's road game. Wilson has 29 tackles (15 solo) and two pass defenses (including one interception) through the first five games of the regular season.
Oct 9, 2025
Returns to practice
Wilson (elbow) was a limited participant at practice Thursday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilson was unavailable for practice Wednesday due to an apparent elbow injury, but he was able to return to the field in a limited capacity at the team's second practice of the week Thursday. The safety will have one more chance to log a full practice prior to Sunday's matchup with the Panthers.
Oct 8, 2025
Managing elbow injury
Wilson did not practice Wednesday due to an elbow injury, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilson was on the field for 77 of 82 defensive snaps (93.9 percent) during the Cowboys' Week 5 win over the Jets, finishing with eight tackles (three solo). The 2019 sixth-rounder appears to have sustained an elbow injury in the process, and he'll have to practice in at least a limited capacity over the next two days in order to have a chance at playing against the Panthers on Sunday. Juanyeh Thomas is working through an ankle injury, so Alijah Clark and Markquese Bell could see increased snaps at safety if Wilson or Thomas are unable to play against Carolina.
Oct 7, 2025
Nice day in win
Wilson recorded eight tackles (three solo) during Sunday's 37-22 win against the Jets.
ANALYSIS
Wilson collected at least six tackles for the fourth consecutive contest in Week 5, thanks in part to being on the field for 69 defensive snaps. He'll be looking to keep that streak going in a Week 6 contest against Carolina.
Sep 22, 2025
Leading tackler in loss
Wilson recorded seven tackles (four solo) and a pass defended in Sunday's loss to the Bears.
ANALYSIS
The veteran safety tied linebacker Jack Sanborn for the team lead in tackles in a blowout loss. The Cowboys' secondary has been one of the worst units in the league so far this season, but that hasn't impacted Wilson's IDP value -- over the last two games he's compiled 13 tackles and two passes defended, including one interception.
Sep 15, 2025
Nabs pick vs. Giants
Wilson recorded six total tackles (three solo) and one interception in Sunday's 40-37 overtime win over the Giants.
ANALYSIS
The veteran safety delivered a crucial pick in the Cowboys' divisional win Sunday, intercepting a pass intended for Malik Nabers down the left sideline to set up the game-winning field goal in overtime. Wilson rebounded well from an underwhelming Week 1 performance, in which he tallied just one total tackle. He's played 100-percent of Dallas' defensive snaps in consecutive games and will continue to serve as one of the team's defensive leaders in a Week 3 matchup against the Bears.
Sep 15, 2025
Comes up big in OT win
Wilson recorded six tackles and an interception in Sunday's 40-37 overtime win over the Giants.
ANALYSIS
After managing only one tackle in the Cowboys' opener, Wilson made a much bigger impact in Week 2, with his INT on a deep Russell Wilson pass in OT setting up Brandon Aubrey's game-winning field goal. Wilson the safety racked up at least 80 tackles in three straight seasons coming into 2025, and he'll be a key part of the second once again.
Sep 5, 2025
Minimal production against Eagles
Wilson recorded one tackle in Thursday's 24-20 loss to the Eagles.
ANALYSIS
It was an uninspiring line for Wilson, but he was on the field for 100 percent of defensive snaps, so his role doesn't appear to be in danger. After topping 80 stops in each of the last two seasons, he should be in line to be more involved in future contests.
Jan 7, 2025
Reliable contributor in 2024
Wilson started all 17 regular-season games this season and recorded 82 tackles (44 solo), including 4.5 sacks, five passes defensed, including one interception, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery.
ANALYSIS
The safety also played on at least 67 percent of the defensive snaps in every game and on more than 80 percent of the defensive snaps in 14 contests. Wilson, a 2019 sixth-round pick, now has three straight seasons of at least 80 tackles and multiple pass breakups and turnovers forced. After signing a three-year, $21-million extension with the Cowboys in 2023, he'll be entering a contract year in 2025.
Jan 5, 2025
Suiting up Sunday
Wilson (knee) is active for Sunday's matchup with the Commanders.
ANALYSIS
The safety was questionable coming into Sunday after logging a week of limited practices. Wilson has played in every game this season for the Cowboys and on more than 80 percent of the defensive snaps in 13 of them, recording 80 tackles (42 solo), including 3.5 sacks, five pass breakups, including an interception, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery.
Jan 3, 2025
Questionable for Week 18
Wilson (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Commanders, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilson appeared to aggravate his knee injury in the Cowboys' Week 17 loss to the Eagles, but he has a chance to play in the team's regular-season finale Sunday after logging a week of limited practice sessions. If the 29-year-old safety is unable to suit up in Week 18, Israel Mukuamu is expected to start alongside Malik Hooker in Dallas' secondary.
Jan 2, 2025
Logs limited practice Thursday
Wilson (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Joe Hoyt of AllDLLS.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilson was limited in Wednesday's walkthrough and had the same practice participation Thursday. He would avoid an injury designation heading into Sunday's regular-season finale against the Commanders were he able to practice in full Friday. Wilson has recorded 80 tackles (42 solo), including 3.5 sacks, five pass defenses (including one interception), two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery across 16 games this season.
Jan 1, 2025
Limited to open week
Wilson (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilson suffered a knee injury during the Cowboys' Week 17 blowout loss to the Eagles, and he finished the game with one solo tackle while playing 41 defensive snaps. His practice participation over the next two days will provide clarity on his status heading into Sunday's regular-season finale against the Commanders.
Dec 29, 2024
Questionable to return Sunday
Wilson (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Eagles, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The safety recorded one solo tackle before exiting. Juanyeh Thomas replaced him, even though he's playing with a sprained PCL in his knee, per Archer.
Dec 29, 2024
Suiting up Sunday
Wilson (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
After practicing Wednesday, Wilson landed on the injury report as a non-participant Thursday but returned with a limited session Friday. He'll ultimately keep his perfect attendance intact this season and should handle a starting role. Over his first 15 appearances, he logged 79 tackles (41 solo), including 3.5 sacks, five pass defenses, two forced fumbles, one fumble recovery and an interception.
Dec 27, 2024
Questionable for Week 17
Wilson (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Eagles, Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilson popped up on the Cowboys' injury report Thursday as a non-participant due to a knee injury, but he upgraded to a limited session Friday, suggesting he's trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's divisional matchup. If the 29-year-old is forced to miss his first game of the season in Week 17 due to this knee injury, Israel Mukuamu is likely to start alongside Malik Hooker as part of Dallas' top safety duo.
Dec 26, 2024
Misses practice Thursday
Wilson (knee) did not participate in Thursday's practice, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports.
ANALYSIS
The safety was not listed on Wednesday's injury report. Wilson dealt with an elbow injury ahead of the Cowboys' Week 16 win over the Buccaneers but did not have to miss the game. The seventh-year pro has played on at least 67 percent of Dallas' defensive snaps in all 15 games this season, but Israel Mukuamu and Juanyeh Thomas are the team's backup safeties if he can't go Sunday against the Eagles.
Dec 19, 2024
Past elbow issue
Wilson (elbow) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilson was limited in Wednesday's practice due to an elbow injury he likely picked up against the Panthers this past Sunday. However, the injury doesn't appear to be serious as he was able to practice Thursday without any limitations and should be able to play against the Buccaneers on Sunday. In the eight games since the Cowboys' Week 7 bye, Wilson has registered 44 tackles (25 solo), including 1.5 sacks, two pass defenses, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery.
Dec 18, 2024
Working through elbow injury
Wilson (elbow) was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilson logged five solo tackles across 46 defensive snaps during the Cowboys' 30-14 win over the Panthers this past Sunday. However, it appears he may have picked up an elbow injury in the process, which limited his participation in the Cowboys' first official practice of the week. Wilson will have two more opportunities to increase his practice participation ahead of Sunday's game against the Buccaneers. In the eight regular-season games since the Cowboys' Week 7 bye, Wilson has logged 44 tackles (25 solo), including 1.5 sacks, two pass defenses, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery.
Dec 10, 2024
Logs season-high tackles
Wilson totaled nine tackles (five solo), with 0.5 sacks, and a forced fumble during Dallas' loss to the Bengals on Monday.
ANALYSIS
Wilson had one of his best outings of the campaign despite the loss as his nine tackles served as a new season high for the 29-year-old. Wilson also managed to force a fumble, a feat he's now accomplished twice across the past three weeks.
Nov 4, 2024
Contributes eight stops in defeat
Wilson recorded eight tackles (four solo) and recovered a fumble Sunday in a Week 9 loss to the Falcons.
ANALYSIS
Wilson finished second on Dallas in stops behind Eric Kendricks in the defeat. The safety also made a big play with a second-quarter fumble recovery on a sack of Kirk Cousins, but the Cowboys couldn't convert a key fourth down on their ensuing drive. Wilson's eight tackles Sunday were a season high, and he's totaled 43 total stops through eight games on the campaign.
Oct 14, 2024
Tallies sack in blowout loss
Wilson recorded seven tackles (four solo) and a sack in Sunday's 47-9 loss to the Lions.
ANALYSIS
This was Wilson's first sack since the 2022 season, when he posted 5.0 sacks before failing to post a sack in 2023. Wilson now has 30 sacks, two pass breakups, an interception and a sack through six games as the Cowboys' starting strong safety. He should remain a high-end IDP option with a solid floor from his tackling performance.
Sep 16, 2024
Intercepts pass in loss to Saints
Wilson recorded six tackles (two solo) and one interception in Sunday's Week 2 loss to the Saints.
ANALYSIS
Wilson has played 95 percent of the defensive snaps through two weeks. His interception came in the fourth quarter with the Cowboys already losing 41-19. After two games, Wilson has eight tackles (two solo), two pass breakups and the one interception.
Aug 30, 2024
Still in starting role
Wilson appears headed for another strong season as a starting safety for the Cowboys.
ANALYSIS
The 29-year-old Texas A&M product missed the first two games of last season with a calf injury, but he put together a 100-tackle pace over 15 regular-season games after returning to action. Wilson's impressive IDP numbers the last two years came with Dan Quinn as his defensive coordinator, but the switch to Mike Zimmer shouldn't impact him too much, as Zimmer's defenses have a long track record of setting up safeties for success -- Harrison Smith made six Pro Bowls in eight seasons for the Vikings with Zimmer as his head coach.
Jan 30, 2024
Solid numbers in 2023
Wilson recorded 88 tackles (55 solo) while adding three passes defended including two interceptions, one forced fumble and two fumble recoveries over 15 regular-season games in 2023.
ANALYSIS
The 28-year-old safety missed the first two games of the year with a calf injury and didn't start seeing a full workload until Week 5, but Wilson was his usual tackling-machine self down the stretch, with 53 of his stops coming in the Cowboys' final seven regular-season games. He's thrived in defensive coordinator Dan Quinn's scheme, but Wilson's 2024 outlook could take a big hit if Quinn takes a head coaching job elsewhere this offseason.
Jan 1, 2024
Big day in win over Detroit
Wilson recorded a team-high 11 tackles (six solo) and added an interception in a Week 17 win over the Lions.
ANALYSIS
The fifth-year safety reached double-digit tackles for the second straight game as he moves back into a leading role in Dan Quinn's defense. The INT was Wilson's first of the season and the fourth of his career, and he's coming on strong down the stretch with 48 tackles over the last six games. With the Cowboys looking to lock up the NFC East title with a win in Week 18 over the Commanders, Wilson and the rest of the defensive starters should see their usual workloads.
Dec 25, 2023
Leading tackler against Miami
Wilson recorded a team-high 12 tackles (eight solo) in Sunday's 22-20 loss to the Dolphins.
ANALYSIS
The fifth-year safety reached double-digit tackles for the first time this season. Wilson would need a huge finish to the season to produce 100-plus tackles again, as he has 72 with two games to go, but he's in strong form with 37 stops, plus one pass defended, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery over the last five contests.
Dec 19, 2023
Season high tackles in loss
Wilson recorded eight tackles (five solo) in Sunday's 31-10 loss to the Bills.
ANALYSIS
Wilson finished tied for second on the team with DeMarcus Lawrence at eight tackles, which also set a new season high for the safety. The 28-year-old has now recorded 60 tackles, a pass deflection, a forced fumble and two fumble recoveries over the 12 contests he's appeared in this year.
Oct 12, 2023
Back at full speed Thursday
Wilson (ankle) was a full participant at practice Thursday, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilson sustained an ankle injury in Week 5 at San Francisco, but it was evidently minor, as he now seems good to go for Week 6. He should resume a sizeable role in Dallas' defensive backfield Monday at the Chargers.
Oct 10, 2023
Picks up seven tackles, leg injury
Wilson (leg) tallied seven tackles (five solo) in the Cowboys 42-10 loss to the 49ers in Week 5.
ANALYSIS
Wilson has now seen his tackle total increase in each game this year after being sidelined in the first two weeks. It should be noted, he did exit the game in the fourth quarter with a leg injury. The severity of the issue remains unknown at this time, but more clarity should come once the Cowboys release the first injury report ahead of Monday's matchup with the Chargers.
Oct 8, 2023
Suffers right leg injury
Wilson went down with a right leg injury in the fourth quarter of Sunday's contest with the 49ers, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilson was assisted off the field by the training staff and he appears unlikely to return. More information on his status will likely come following the game.
Sep 20, 2023
Full practice Wednesday
Wilson (calf) was a full participant at the Cowboys' practice Wednesday, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilson appears ready to go ahead of the team's Week 3 matchup with the Cardinals after missing the first two games of the season with a calf injury. His return will likely push Malik Hooker into a backup role at free safety moving forward. Wilson recorded a career-high 101 tackles, including five sacks, while appearing in all 17 games for the Cowboys in 2022.
Sep 18, 2023
Should play Week 3
Wilson (calf) is expected to be limited in practice Wednesday and practice in full Thursday, in anticipation of suiting up Sunday against the Cardinals, Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilson has missed each of Dallas' first two games this season, but his return appears to be on the horizon. The veteran safety's return would certainly be a boost to an already strong defense that has only allowed 10 points on the 2023 campaign thus far.
Sep 17, 2023
Will not play Sunday
Wilson (calf) is inactive Sunday against the Jets, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilson was considered doubtful for the contest, so his inability to suit up shouldn't come as a surprise. He'll work to make his season debut Week 3 against the Cardinals.
Sep 15, 2023
Doubtful for Week 2
Wilson (calf) is doubtful for Dallas' game against the Jets on Sunday, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilson is still working back from a calf injury suffered in July that's already caused him to miss the team's first game. If the 28-year-old is unable to go Sunday, Malik Hooker will likely get the start for the second week in a row after logging five tackles (three solo) versus the Giants.
Sep 14, 2023
Back in pads Thursday
Wilson (calf) was a limited participant at practice Thursday ahead of Sunday's game versus the Jets, Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
ANALYSIS
Per Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News, it's the first time Wilson has been seen in pads since January. He appears to be nearing a return from his calf strain, but will probably need to log a full practice Friday in order to avoid carrying an injury designation into the Cowboys' matchup versus the Jets in Week 2.
Sep 13, 2023
Status for Week 2 in question
Wilson (calf) was listed as a DNP on Wednesday's estimated injury report, Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilson had a big workout today, according to head coach Mike McCarthy, who is hopeful the safety will be able to practice Thursday, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports. The 28-year-old was unable to play Week 1 against the Giants and will likely need to log at least a limited session this week if he's going to play Sunday against the Jets. If Wilson is ultimately unable to play, Malik Hooker will likely get the start at free safety.
Sep 10, 2023
Inactive Sunday
Wilson (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Giants.
ANALYSIS
Wilson was doubtful for Sunday's matchup, so it isn't very surprising to see him unavailable for the Cowboys' regular-season opener. Malik Hooker (illness) is available and should see an increase in playing time against the Giants.
Sep 8, 2023
Officially doubtful for SNF
Wilson (calf) is listed as doubtful for Sunday night's game against the Giants, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Coach Mike McCarthy expressed some optimism earlier in the day that Wilson could practice Saturday, but he missed all three official practices this week. The 28-year-old made all 17 starts last season, making a career-high 101 tackles. Malik Hooker and Jayron Kearse will see most of the safety snaps for Dallas Sunday night.
Sep 8, 2023
Expected to practice Saturday
Coach Mike McCarthy expects Wilson (calf) to participate in Saturday's walkthrough ahead of Sunday night's game against the Giants, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
ANALYSIS
The Cowboys aren't going to have an actual practice Saturday, a mere 24 hours before their Week 1 opener, but McCarthy expects WIlson to log a limited session for it. Wilson was officially DNP this week and has been sidelined since going down with the injury in late July.
Sep 6, 2023
Misses practice Wednesday
Wilson (calf) did not participant in the Cowboys' practice Wednesday, mmm reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilson is still dealing with the calf injury he suffered in late July after he was initially given a 4-to-6 week timetable for his return. The safety will likely need to return to practice before the end of the week in order to suit up for Sunday's regular season opener against the Giants.
Aug 31, 2023
Still not practicing
Wilson (calf) has not yet returned to practice, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilson was given a 4-to-6 week recovery timeline on July 26, which puts him just over five weeks as of Thursday. There will be more clarity gained on his status next week when the Cowboys release their injury report ahead of their Week 1 game against the Giants. When healthy, he is projected to start at free safety, but Malik Hooker would be the prime candidate to fill in should he not be ready to go to start the year.
Jul 26, 2023
Projected to miss 4-6 weeks
Wilson (calf) is expected to miss 4-6 weeks due to the calf strain he suffered in practice Wednesday, Todd Archer of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
The Cowboys are optimistic that Wilson will be available for the Sept. 10 season opener against the Giants, which is just over six weeks away. Wilson -- who re-signed on a three-year deal worth up to $24 million this offseason -- was carted off Wednesday. He led the team with 101 tackles in 2022.
Jul 26, 2023
Suffers strain
Wilson, who was carted off the field during practice Wednesday, has been diagnosed with a calf strain, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Considering a cart was involved in his leaving the field, this is likely good news for Wilson and the Cowboys. The 28-year-old is coming off the best season of his career and had amassed career highs in tackles and sacks, as he asserted himself as an important piece of the Cowboys' secondary. However, it's still unclear how much of camp he'll miss.
Jul 26, 2023
Carted off
Wilson was carted off the field after suffering an injury to what looked to be his right calf Wednesday, Jane Slater of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
After leading Dallas in tackles and signing a new three-year extension in March, Wilson was carted off the field at camp. The Cowboys staff took x-rays of his right calf once he made it away from the field. Last season was the best of the veteran safety's career, tallying 101 tackles, 5.0 sacks and two forced fumbles. The extent of his injury is unknown for the time being.
Mar 14, 2023
Agrees to re-sign with Dallas
Wilson agreed Tuesday to re-sign with the Cowboys on a three-year deal worth up to $24 million with $13.5 million guaranteed, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilson bounced back from an injury-plagued 2021 and posted a career-best campaign in 2022, totaling 101 tackles, five sacks, two forced fumbles, a fumble recovery and an interception across 17 regular-season appearances. The 2019 sixth-round pick parlayed his strong play into a sizable payday and should be a quality IDP option again in 2023. Jayron Kearse and Malik Hooker (thumb) are both under contract through 2023, but as long as Wilson is healthy, he should be able to carve out a solid role in Dallas' stacked secondary.
Jan 31, 2023
Career-best campaign
Wilson recorded 101 tackles (77 solo), including five sacks, across 17 regular-season games in 2022. He added two passes defended with one interception, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery.
ANALYSIS
The fourth-year safety had trouble staying healthy in 2021, but he avoided injuries the following year and emerged as a true IDP star in defensive coordinator Dan Quinn's aggressive scheme. It was good time for Wilson to post career highs in tackles and sacks too, as he's an unrestricted free agent this offseason. The Cowboys have some depth at safety with both Jayron Kearse and Malik Hooker under contract through 2023, but the team may make re-signing Wilson a priority given how good a fit he is for Quinn's defense.
Dec 27, 2022
Seven stops in victory
Wilson recorded seven tackles (six solo) in Saturday's 40-34 win over the Eagles.
ANALYSIS
Wilson didn't stuff the stat sheet, but he did record his most tackles since Week 13 against the Colts, and the second most since Week 8 against the Bears. He now has 94 stops on the season, which far exceeds his previous career high of 71. He'll work to continue producing Thursday against the Titans.
Dec 5, 2022
Leading tackler in Sunday's win
Wilson recorded 10 tackles (nine solo) including a sack in Sunday's win over the Colts.
ANALYSIS
The Cowboys' defense took control of the game in the second half, winding up with three sacks, three interceptions and two fumble recoveries, but Wilson led the team in tackles. It's the second time this season the safety's hit double digits in a game, and he now has a career-high 79 tackles in addition to a career-high four sacks.
Nov 24, 2022
Available against Giants
Wilson (illness) is available for Thursday's game against the Giants, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilson didn't practice Wednesday due to an illness and was listed as questionable for the Cowboys' Thanksgiving Day matchup. However, he'll be able to play through the issue against the Giants. Over his last two games, he's tallied nine tackles (seven solo).
Nov 23, 2022
Deemed questionable
Wilson didn't practice Wednesday and is considered questionable for Thursday's matchup against the Giants, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilson landed on the injury report Wednesday as a non-participant due to an illness and is in danger of missing the Thanksgiving day matchup. If he's sidelined, Malik Hooker and Israel Mukuamu would be strong candidates for increased roles.
Nov 15, 2022
Seven stops in loss
Wilson collected seven tackles (five solo) during Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Packers.
ANALYSIS
Wilson was one of four Dallas defenders to tie with a team-high seven stops against Green Bay, though he'd played the third-most defensive snaps (52) of this group. The safety was limited in practice Wednesday and Thursday, though it's unclear if this ultimately affected his playing time Sunday. Nevertheless, Wilson is now just six tackles shy of setting a new career high in this category.
Nov 11, 2022
No injury designation for Week 10
Wilson (tooth) doesn't have an injury designation for Friday's game against the Packers, Patrik Walker of the Cowboys' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilson was limited during practice Wednesday and Thursday due to a tooth issue, but he was a full participant Friday and will be available for Sunday's game in Green Bay. He's tallied 58 tackles (43 solo), three sacks, an interception, two pass defenses and a forced fumble over the first eight games of the year.
Oct 30, 2022
Questionable to return Sunday
Wilson (undisclosed) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Bears, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilson was officially designated with muscle cramps as the reason for his departure from this contest, though the exact nature of this issue is still unclear. The starting safety recorded 50 tackles, three sacks, two passes defended and an interception over the first seven weeks of the season. In Wilson's stead, expect Markquese Bell and Israel Mukuamu to see increased reps with the Cowboys up 49-29 in the fourth quarter.
Oct 24, 2022
Notches third sack in Week 7 win
Wilson totaled six tackles (three solo) and one sack in Sunday's 24-6 win over the Lions.
ANALYSIS
Wilson had one of Dallas' five sacks of quarterback Jared Goff. The 27-year-old safety has been adept at getting to the quarterback in 2022, as Wilson's three sacks in seven games this season have him just half a sack shy of his career total accrued over 34 games heading into the season.
Oct 19, 2022
Records second sack of season
Wilson notched five tackles (two solo) and one sack during Sunday's 26-17 loss to the Eagles.
ANALYSIS
Wilson forced a Philadelphia punt by sacking Jalen Hurts for a zero-yard loss on third-and-nine play at the beginning of the third quarter. Across six appearances, the four-year safety has totaled 44 tackles, two sacks, two pass defenses and one interception.
Oct 4, 2022
Leads team with nine tackles
Wilson recorded nine tackles (eight solo) during Sunday's 25-10 win over the Commanders.
ANALYSIS
Wilson has totaled 28 tackles and one sack while playing every defensive snap for the Cowboys over the past three weeks. The fourth-year safety has emerged as a viable IDP option and will look to continue his strong play against the Rams in Week 5.
Sep 28, 2022
Tallies double-digit tackles
Wilson notched 11 tackles (nine solo), one sack and one pass breakup during Monday's 23-16 win over the Giants.
ANALYSIS
Wilson has played 100 percent of defensive snaps in back-to-back contests. The fourth-year pro looks like an option worthy of fantasy consideration in IDP formats, and he'll have a good chance to continue his momentum versus the Commanders in Week 4.
Sep 19, 2022
Plays every snap
Wilson record eight tackles (six solo) in the Cowboys' 20-17 win over the Bengals on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Wilson's eight combined tackles led the team. The fourth-year-pro continues to rebound from an injured plagued third season, in which he missed eight games with shoulder and groin injuries. He now has 13 tackles, one interception and one pass defensed through the first two weeks. He'll look to continue producing in Week 3 against the Giants.
Jan 8, 2022
Will play saturday
Wilson (illness) is active Saturday against the Eagles.
ANALYSIS
Wilson didn't originally travel with the team to Philadelphia, but he ended up feeling well enough to play, and made his way there in time. Wilson should at the very least help provide depth at safety against the Eagles on Saturday.
Jan 8, 2022
Returns to team ahead of Week 18
Wilson (illness) joined the Cowboys on Saturday ahead of their matchup with the Eagles.
ANALYSIS
Wilson originally didn't travel with the team to Philadelphia for their game on Saturday night, but he has now joined the team right in time to potentially play in Week 18. The safety is still listed as questionable, leaving his availability for the contest something to monitor as the game approaches.
Jan 7, 2022
Not traveling for Week 18
Wilson (illness) isn't traveling with the team for Saturday's game at Philadelphia but remains questionable, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilson received the questionable tag Thursday and apparently still has a chance to join the team ahead of Saturday's contest. Jayron Kearse (hamstring) has already been ruled out, so the Cowboys could be short on depth at safety if Wilson sits out.
Dec 25, 2021
Activated from IR
Wilson (shoulder) was activated from injured reserve Saturday, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilson has been out since suffering the injury in Week 11 against the Chiefs. He was designated to return on Dec. 15, so he's had some time to practice with the team and should be good to go Sunday against Washington. He'll likely provide depth at safety behind Damontae Kazee.
Dec 15, 2021
Designated to return
Wilson (shoulder) was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Wilson has missed the last three games with a shoulder injury, but he'll be eligible to return to practice Wednesday. It's not yet clear whether he'll be able to suit up for Sunday's game against the Giants, but he'll need to be activated from IR within 21 days if he hopes to play again this year.
Dec 8, 2021
Still undergoing tests
Wilson (shoulder) will undergo further testing this week to determine whether he'll be able to return this season, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
ANALYSIS
Coach Mike McCarthy said Wednesday that Wilson has been progressing in his recovery, but the team will have a "better idea" next week of whether the safety will be able to return later in the 2021 campaign. The 26-year-old has been on injured reserve since Nov. 24 and is eligible to return as early as Dec. 19 against the Giants.
Nov 24, 2021
Placed on injured reserve
Wilson (shoulder) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, David Helman of the Cowboys' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilson sustained a shoulder injury during Sunday's loss to Kansas City, and he'll be forced to miss at least three games as a result. Israel Mukuamu should serve as the primary backup to Jayron Kearse at strong safety in Wilson's absence.
Nov 21, 2021
Questionable to return
Wilson is questionable to return to Sunday's game against Kansas City due to a shoulder injury, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilson went to the locker room after he was banged up in the second half of Sunday's matchup. Prior to his departure, he recorded four tackles (three solo) and a pass defense.
Oct 17, 2021
Active for Week 6
Wilson (groin) is active for Sunday's game against New England.
ANALYSIS
Wilson logged a limited practice in every session leading up to the matchup and will return from a four-game absence. He did not manage to log a statistic in Week 1 but was on the field for 84 percent of the defensive snaps.
Oct 15, 2021
Labeled as questionable
Wilson (groin) is listed as questionable for the Cowboys' Week 6 matchup with the Patriots, David Helman of the Cowboys' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilson has been sidelined for Dallas' previous four games. He was a limited participant at practice all week, which indicates he is nearing a return. Still, his final status will depnd on how he is feeling closer to kickoff.
Oct 8, 2021
Remains out for Week 5
Wilson (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Giants, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilson's absence will stretch to four consecutive games, and he may not be particularly close to returning, judging by his inability to participate in any of Dallas' three practices throughout the week. Another update on Wilson's status should surface prior to his team's Week 6 trip to New England.
Oct 1, 2021
Absence stretches to three games
Wilson (groin) won't play in Sunday's game against the Panthers, Jon Mochota of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilson will sit out for a third consecutive game due to this groin injury. The injury has been bothering him since before the season started but he was able to tough it out in Week 1. Unfortunately, the safety has been sidelined since then and doesn't seem particularly close to returning considering he was unable to practice in any capacity this week.
Sep 27, 2021
Not playing Monday
Wilson (groin) is inactive for Monday's game against the Eagles, David Helman of the Cowboys' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
A groin issue followed Wilson into the regular season, but he still gutted through it Week 1 at Tampa Bay, playing 55 of 65 defensive snaps without recording a tackle. Since then, he's been unable to practice and is missing a second straight contest. Wilson may not be a candidate to suit up until he gets back on the practice field.
Sep 25, 2021
Doubtful for Week 3
Wilson (groin) is listed as doubtful for Monday's game against the Eagles, Armando Salguero of Outkick reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilson missed last week's game against the Chargers, and he's unlikely to return against the NFC East rival Eagles after failing to participate in any of the Cowboys' practices this week. Jayron Kearse should continue to play a larger role if Wilson sits as expected.
Sep 18, 2021
Ruled out for Week 2
Wilson (groin) was downgraded from questionable to out for the Cowboys' Week 2 matchup against the Chargers on Sunday, Armando Salguero of Outkick.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilson was unable to get on the practice field all week, so this news isn't particularly surprising. He's been dealing with the injury since late August, though he was able to suit up for Week 1 against Tampa Bay.
Sep 17, 2021
Questionable for Week 2
The Cowboys listed Wilson (groin) as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Chargers, Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilson didn't practice at all this week, but he hasn't been ruled out for Week 2. He dealt with the injury throughout most of camp and was able to play 55 of 65 defensive snaps in the opener.
Sep 15, 2021
Doesn't practice Wednesday
Wilson (groin) missed practice Wednesday, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilson battled a groin injury during training camp but was active for Week 1 and played 55 of 65 defensive snaps. The Cowboys may have just kept him out of Wednesday's practice as a precaution, but it will be important to monitor his status the rest of the week.
Sep 6, 2021
Full participant at practice
Wilson (groin) was a full practice participant Monday, David Helman of the Cowboys' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilson has been battling a groin injury throughout the past week, but he's apparently ready to go ahead of Thursday's season opener at Tampa Bay. The 26-year-old should continue to start at strong safety for the Cowboys after breaking out during the second half of 2020.
Sep 2, 2021
Still not practicing
Wilson (groin) won't practice Thursday, Jori Epstein of The Dallas Morning News reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilson has been held out of practice for over a week due to a groin injury, but coach Mike McCarthy said last week that he had "no questions" about the safety's availability for Week 1 against the Buccaneers. However, the 2019 sixth-rounder will presumably need to return to practice in the coming days if he hopes to handle a full workload in the season opener.
Aug 28, 2021
Not practicing Saturday
Wilson (groin) won't practice Saturday, but there is no concern about his availability for Week 1 of the regular season, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
ANALYSIS
The extent of Wilson's injury is unknown, but coach Mike McCarthy does not believe it to be serious as he said he has "no questions" about his availability for Week 1 of the regular season. Jayron Kearse, Steven Parker and Israel Mukuamu will likely see the majority of the work at strong safety in the Cowboy's preseason finale.
Aug 25, 2021
Nursing groin injury
Wilson will not practice Wednesday due to a groin injury, Stefan Stevenson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
ANALYSIS
The nature and severity of Wilson's groin injury remain undisclosed, so for now he can be considered day-to-day. Wilson will only have a few more chances to practice before Sunday's preseason finale against the Jaguars, but the Cowboys may opt to sit some starters during that contest regardless of health.
Jan 1, 2021
Clear for Week 17
Wilson (illness) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Giants, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
ANALYSIS
The 25-year-old was absence from practice the first two days of the week, but he put in a full session Friday to avoid the questionable tag. Wilson should take up his usual starting post at strong safety for the Cowboys on Sunday.
Dec 30, 2020
Misses practice
Wilson was absent from Wednesday's practice due to an illness, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
There is no indication that Wilson's illness is anything COVID-19 related, but his situation will need to be monitored as the week progresses. If healthy enough, Darian Thompson (concussion) would presumably be in line to replace him should he ultimately be unable to go.
Dec 21, 2020
Big IDP effort in win
Wilson recorded eight tackles (six solo) and an interception in Sunday's win over the 49ers.
ANALYSIS
After missing the last two games due to a groin strain, Wilson returned to action and put together another impressive IDP performance that included his first career INT. The second-year safety has 59 tackles, 2.5 sacks, three forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries, plus Sunday's pick, in nine games since moving into the starting lineup in Week 4.
Dec 17, 2020
All clear Thursday
Wilson (groin) was a full participant during Thursday's practice, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilson logged limited practice Wednesday, so it's a good sign to see the safety on track for Week 15. Now healthy, expect Wilson to handle his usual starting strong safety role for Sunday's game against the 49ers. The Texas A&M product has been a decent IDP option, racking up 19 tackles, 0.5 sacks and two forced fumbles over the past two contests.
Dec 16, 2020
Logs limited practice
Wilson (groin) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Wilson returned to practice after sitting out last week, providing a decent chance to return to the lineup after missing last week's win over the Bengals. If he's able to play, Wilson's an intriguing IDP option, as he's posted 19 tackles, a half sack and two forced fumbles over the past two games.
Dec 14, 2020
Could be back practicing this week
Coach Mike McCarthy is hopeful that Wilson (groin) will be able to resume practice participation Wednesday, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilson sat out his second consecutive game Sunday against the Bengals, though it now appears the 2019 sixth-round draft choice may be trending towards an appearance in the near future. The Texas A&M standout suited up for the Cowboys' first 11 matchups of the season while recording seven straight starts between Weeks 5 and 12. He remains without an interception but has recorded three forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries and 2.5 sacks from his strong safety position.
Dec 12, 2020
Ruled out Week 14
Wilson (groin) won't play in Sunday's game versus the Bengals, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilson will miss a second consecutive game, opening the door for Darian Thompson to start at strong safety once again. Reggie Robinson should see a major increase in his respective workload as well. Wilson will aim to shake off this injury for next week's matchup against the 49ers.
Dec 11, 2020
Draws questionable tag
Wilson (groin) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilson missed Tuesday's game against the Ravens due to his groin injury, and he's now facing the challenge of getting healthy on a short week, The second-year pro still hasn't resumed practicing, which could be an indication that he's trending in the wrong direction.
Dec 9, 2020
Still sitting out
Wilson (groin) was listed as a non-participant during Wednesday's practice.
ANALYSIS
Wilson missed Tuesday's game against the Ravens with the groin issue, so this news isn't quite surprising. With the Cowboys on a short week having to play again Sunday, Wilson will likely need to log practice time in some fashion Thursday or Friday to have a chance to suit up. If the 25-year-old is unable to play, Darian Thompson would be in line again to handle starting strong safety duties.
Dec 7, 2020
Sitting out Tuesday
Wilson (groin) was downgraded to out for Tuesday's game against the Ravens, Rob Phillips of the Cowboys' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
The 25-year-old initially received the questionable tag but won't be available for Week 13. Darian Thompson is expected to step in at strong safety for Dallas in Wilson's absence.
Dec 5, 2020
Questionable for Week 13
Wilson (groin) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Ravens, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilson missed practice Friday, and there hasn't been any indication that he returned to the field Saturday. If he ends up sitting out this week, Darian Thompson likely would step in at strong safety.
Dec 4, 2020
Unable to practice Friday
Wilson (groin) didn't participate in Friday's practice, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilson wasn't listed on Thursday's injury report, indicating that he hurt his groin at some point over the last two practice sessions. That's quite concerning for his chances to play Tuesday against the Ravens. Wilson tied a career high with 10 tackles (nine solo) in last week's loss to the Football Team. Darian Thompson appears to be the top candidate to start in Wilson's place if he ends up inactive.
Nov 27, 2020
Provides 10 tackles in loss
Wilson racked up 10 tackles (nine solo) in Sunday's 41-16 loss to Washington.
ANALYSIS
Wilson's nine solo tackles were a career high, ultimately bringing his season total to 53 tackles (36 solo) after primarily playing special teams as a rookie last year. The Cowboys' starting safeties, Wilson and Xavier Woods, ended up tying for the team lead in tackles -- a scathing indictment of the job the front seven did in containing Antonio Gibson and the Washington running game. Wilson has racked up 19 tackles over the last two games, and his IDP value is soaring heading into Week 13's road tilt against another team with a ground-heavy game plan in the Ravens.
Oct 5, 2020
Leads team in tackles
Wilson recorded 10 tackles (six solo), including a sack, in Sunday's loss to the Browns.
ANALYSIS
He replaced Darian Thompson in the base defense midway through the game, and Wilson took full advantage of the opportunity, leading the Cowboys in tackles on the afternoon. The second-year safety may be on the verge of taking the starting assignment from Thompson on a more permanent basis, and given the state of the Dallas run defense, Wilson could find himself providing consistently solid IDP numbers.
Nov 25, 2019
Not listed on injury report
Wilson (illness) was not listed on Monday's injury report, Bills Insider Chris Brown reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilson was not able to play in Sunday's loss to the Patriots due to illness but it appears he has made a recovery. Monday's injury report was more of an estimation by the Cowboys so keep an eye out for any updates with Thursday's game against the Bills looming.
Sep 7, 2019
Out for opener
Wilson (ankle) will not play in Sunday's season opener against the Giants, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilson was absent from practice throughout the week, which renders this decision relatively unsurprising. The rookie sixth-round pick impressed throughout the preseason and is expected to provide depth at strong safety this year.
Sep 4, 2019
Sits out practice Wednesday
Wilson (ankle) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.
ANALYSIS
Last week, Wilson told owner Jerry Jones he expected to practice ahead of Week 1's game versus the Giants, but that will have to wait until either Thursday or Friday. The rookie sixth-round pick had a successful preseason and received one of the highest grades of any rookie by Pro Football Focus, so he may be used immediately in dime packages and when Jeff Heath or Xavier Woods need a breather.
Aug 30, 2019
Expects to practice next week
Wilson (ankle) told owner Jerry Jones he expects to be able to practice next week in advance of the regular season opener against the Giants, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilson suffered the ankle injury during Thursday's preseason finale versus the Buccaneers, but he apparently received good news after undergoing X-rays. The rookie sixth-round pick is poised to work as a reserve safety for Dallas this season.
Aug 29, 2019
Goes down with ankle injury
Wilson is questionable to return to Thursday's preseason game against Tampa Bay due to a left ankle injury, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.
ANALYSIS
According to Jon Machota of The Athletic, Wilson was helped to the locker room for X-rays after suffering the injury. The details surrounding his injury are unclear, though he was ultimately able to return to the sideline.
