Xavier Woods - Page 10 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Dealing with rib injury Woods suffered a rib injury during Sunday's 41-33 win over the 49ers.

Impact Woods shook off a groin injury to play in Week 15, but a rib injury forced him out of the game, causing the fourth-year safety to miss his first defensive snaps of the season. If Woods is unable to play in Week 16 against the Eagles, either Reggie Robinson or Darian Thompson will start at free safety.

Sustains chest injury Sunday Woods (chest) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the 49ers, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact After overcoming a groin issue to avoid his first 2020 game absence in Week 15, Woods has sustained an injury of another variety as Dallas finds itself protecting a narrow second-half lead. The Louisiana Tech standout has started all 43 games he has appeared in since the start of 2018, but now Reggie Robinson will be counted on for snaps at free safety until Woods makes his return to the field.

Ready to face 49ers Woods (groin) is active for Sunday's game versus the 49ers, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact Woods will avoid missing his first game of the season. In fact, he's played every snap on defense in 2020, ringing up 67 tackles (44 solo) and a pass breakup in the process. Woods will start at free safety Sunday.

Uncertain for Week 15 Woods (groin) is questionable for Sunday's game versus the 49ers, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Impact Woods was added to the injury report midweek, surfacing as a limited participant in Thursday's practice. The fourth-year safety hasn't missed a defensive snap all year, so he still stands a good chance to play Sunday. If he's held out, Darian Thompson and Reggie Robinson are both due to play more in Woods' stead.

Managing practice reps Woods (groin) was a limited participant during Thursday's practice, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Impact Woods was added to the injury report for the first time this week, as he was seen working off to the side during practice. Woods has yet to miss a game this season, so it's still too early to panic about his status for Sunday's game against the 49ers. If Woods were to miss Week 15, Reggie Robinson would be in line for the start at free safety for the contest.

Season high in tackles Thursday Woods recorded a season-high 10 tackles (six solo) and a pass defended in Thursday's loss to Washington.

Impact The Cowboys' starting safeties, Woods and Donovan Wilson, ended up tying for the team lead in tackles -- a scathing indictment of the job the front seven did in containing Antonio Gibson and the Washington running game. Woods could supply strong IDP value again in Week 13's road tilt against another team with a ground-heavy game plan in the Ravens.

Nine tackles in Sunday's loss Woods recorded nine tackles (six solo) in Sunday's loss to the Rams.

Impact Between an early exit for Leighton Vander Esch (collarbone) and a Sean McVay game plan that called for a lot of quick passes to neutralize the Cowboys' pass rush, both the team's safeties were very busy -- Darian Thompson did Woods one better with 10 tackles. Woods could remain an IDP asset at least until Vander Esch returns to action, especially if other teams copy what the Rams did offensively in Week 1.

On track for Week 1 Woods (ankle/groin) is expected to be available Sunday against the Rams, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact Woods has been kept out of practice since Aug. 28 due to ankle and groin injuries, but the Cowboys have consistently expressed optimism about his chances of suiting up Week 1. If Woods is indeed able to go, his presence as a starting safety will provide Dallas' secondary with a notable boost against Los Angeles' dangerous aerial attack.

Still unable to practice Cowboys COO Stephen Jones said Woods (ankle) has a good shot to play Sunday versus the Rams, Nick Eatman of the Cowboys' official site reports.

Impact Woods hasn't practiced since Aug. 28 when he exited that day's session early, but the team is optimistic he'll be ready for the season opener. The team's secondary is a bit banged up with cornerbacks Chidobe Awuzie (leg) and Jourdan Lewis (ankle) are both tending to injuries, so getting Woods back would be a major boost. Over 15 games last year, Woods produced 77 tackles, five pass breakups and two interceptions.
