With Malik Hooker (forearm) also ruled out, Markquese Bell figures to start alongside Jalen Thompson at safety while Caleb Downs serves as the slot corner.

Won't return Sunday Locke (foot) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Commanders, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact Locke exited the first quarter of Sunday's contest with a foot injury. The Cowboys will need to finish the divisional contest with the Commanders without Locke or Malik Hooker (forearm), leaving slot cornerback Caleb Downs or reserve strong safety Markquese Bell to play free safety.

Avoids significant injury Locke suffered a hyperextended knee at training camp practice Wednesday, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact Locke went down with a non-contact injury, and he was forced to leave the practice early. The safety appears to have avoided a major injury, and the team's doctors aren't overly concerned. Locke is set to operate as a top rotational piece behind Malik Hooker and Jalen Thompson in the secondary with Dallas this season, and in his absence, Alijah Clark is a top candidate to see an increase in reps at practice.
