Malik Hooker - Page 4 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Questionable for Sunday Hooker (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Commanders.

Impact The 27-year-old safety seems to be trending in the right direction to play Sunday, as he's gone from recording back-to-back DNPs to open the Cowboys' week of practice to a limited session Friday. If Hooker is unable to suit up in Week 18, Israel Mukuamu could see increased snaps as a rotational defensive back in Dallas' secondary.

Returns to action Hooker (ankle) is active Sunday against the Dolphins, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Hooker was unable to play in the Cowboys' Week 15 loss to the Bills with the injury, but the veteran safety will return to play Week 16. His presence in the secondary should be a boost for Dallas against Miami's passing attack.

Could return versus Miami Hooker (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Bobby Belt of 105.3 The Fan Dallas reports.

He was able to finish off the week with back-to-back limited practice sessions to give himself a chance to play Sunday. Hooker has 46 tackles (24 solo), one interception, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery over 13 games this season.

Undergoes thumb procedure Cowboys team owner Jerry Jones said Wednesday that Hooker recently underwent thumb surgery, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact Per Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, Hooker's latest procedure was to address a dislocated thumb, which he likely sustained during Dallas' loss to the 49ers in the divisional round. The 26-year-old is expected to be ready for the team's offseason program without any limitations.

Puts together solid season Hooker recorded 62 tackles (44 solo) with three interceptions and a fumble recovery for a touchdown over 16 regular-season games in 2022.

Impact The 26-year-old safety stayed mostly healthy, missing only a Week 8 contest against the Bears due to a hamstring strain, and as a result Hooker put together the most productive season of his career. The Cowboys' trio of safeties (Hooker, Donovan Wilson and Jayron Kearse) all posted strong numbers in coordinator Dan Quinn's defense, but with Wilson a free agent and potentially headed elsewhere, Hooker could see an increased workload in 2023.
