Cowboys getting linebacker Kenneth Murray in trade with Titans, AP source says

A person with knowledge of the deal says the Dallas Cowboys have acquired linebacker Kenneth Murray Jr. in a trade with the Tennessee Titans

MARCH 12, 2025 • Associated Press

Healthy scratch to close season Clark (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Commanders.

Impact Clark began the season with a substantial role on Dallas' defense but has slipped into a special teams role since Week 8. Overall, he saw his defensive snaps drop from 741 in 2023 to 159 in 2024, and he'll close the campaign in disappointing fashion as a healthy scratch.

JANUARY 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Surprisingly inactive Monday Clark (coach's decision) is inactive for Week 11 against Houston on Monday Night Football, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Impact Clark was a starter last season and began this year logging a healthy amount of defensive snaps, but be played only on special teams in Weeks 8 and 9 before notching 31 percent of Dallas' defensive snaps in Week 10. He wasn't tagged with an injury designation this week, so his inactive status Monday appears to be a coach's decision. Nick Vigil entered Monday deemed questionable with a foot injury, but he's active and will likely soak up extra snaps in Clark's absence.
