Cowboys place safety Malik Hooker on IR with toe injury, sidelining him at least 4 games

The Dallas Cowboys have placed Malik Hooker on injured reserve with a toe injury
OCTOBER 4, 2025 • Associated Press
Moves to IR Hooker (toe) was placed on injured reserve Saturday.
Impact 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.

Won't play Week 5 Hooker (toe) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jets, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Hooker sustained a toe injury during the Cowboys' 40-40 tie to 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.

Likely out for Week 5 Hooker (toe) was spotted in a protective boot Wednesday and is unlikely to play in Sunday's matchup against the Jets, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
Impact 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.

May miss a couple weeks Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer said Monday that Hooker (toe) is still being evaluated but could miss a couple weeks due to the injury he sustained during Sunday night's 40-40 o...
Impact 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 will need to be monitored for Week 5 against the Jets, and perhaps also Week 6 against the Panthers. Markquese Bell and Juanyeh Thomas will be candidates to handle increased defensive snaps if Hooker misses any time.

Impact Hooker logged all 62 of Dallas' defensive snaps in Thursday's season-opening loss to the Eagles and played well, notching nine tackles.
