Placed on reserve/COVID-19 list Hooker (illness) tested positive for the coronavirus Thursday and was moved to the reserve/COVID-19 list, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Impact According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Hooker is vaccinated, so he'll still have an outside shot of being available for Sunday's game against Washington if he's deemed asymptomatic of the virus. The fifth-year safety has appeared in 13 games for Dallas this season, tallying 38 tackles and one interception.

Big performance in Sunday's win Hooker recorded six tackles (five solo) and an interception in Sunday's win over the Giants.
Impact The Dallas defense held New York to just two field goals on the afternoon thanks in part to four turnovers, including Hooker's first INT of the year. The former Colt was also one off the team lead in tackles for the game, and he needs just 14 more over the final three games to establish a new career high for a season in that category. Hooker isn't one of the biggest names in the Cowboys' secondary, but he's emerging as a key cog down the stretch.
