Suiting up Thursday Vigil (foot) is active for Thursday's Week 13 game versus the Giants.

Impact Vigil was estimated as a non-participant in walkthroughs both Monday and Tuesday before logging a limited session Wednesday. That practice will be enough for the veteran defender to suit up on Thanksgiving Day. It's uncertain if Vigil will get any defensive snaps, though, as he's played only on special teams in six of his 10 contests this season.

Questionable for Thanksgiving Vigil (foot) is questionable to play Thursday versus the Giants, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Impact Vigil was a limited participant at the Cowboys' practice Wednesday after being estimated to be a non-participant at the team's walkthroughs Monday and Tuesday. Vigil was able to play through the foot injury each of the last two weeks, but his status will be worth monitoring ahead of Thursday's contest with New York.

DNP on Monday's estimation Vigil (foot) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimation, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Vigil has been playing through a foot issue over the last couple of weeks, recording two total tackles across 46 special-teams snaps in the Cowboys' last two games. This suggests that Monday's estimated DNP is likely precautionary; however, the 31-year-old could be in jeopardy of missing Thursday's matchup against the Giants if he can't upgrade to at least limited practice participation either Tuesday or Wednesday.

Will play through foot injury Vigil (foot) is active for Monday's Week 11 game against Houston, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Impact Vigil dealt with a foot injury throughout the week and wasn't able to take part in any practices, but he'll still be able to suit up on Monday Night Football. The veteran linebacker has played mostly on special teams this season, but he could see more than his usual allotment of defensive snaps against the Texans with Damone Clark (coach's decision) a surprise inactive.

Questionable due to foot injury Vigil (foot) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Texans, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Impact While Vigil has been tagged as questionable, he's leaning more towards doubtful due to the fact that he hasn't been able to practice all week due to a foot injury. Vigil's absence Monday wouldn't make too much of a difference for the Cowboys' defense as he's mostly played on special teams this season.

Out against Philadelphia Vigil (hamstring) has been ruled out for Week 5's matchup against the Eagles, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Impact Vigil suffered a hamstring injury during Week 4's contest against the Panthers. The 2016 third-round pick was unable to practice all this week, so it's no surprise he's sitting Sunday's game out. While Zaven Collins remains the Cardinals' No. 1 left-inside linebacker, Ben Niemann may see his role increase with Vigil out.
