Set to join Minnesota Woods signed a one-year, $2.25 million deal with the Vikings on Saturday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact Woods figures to step right in as the starting safety opposite Harrison Smith as part of a reconfigured Vikings secondary. The fourth-year safety piled together 70-plus tackles for the Cowboys each of the last two seasons but was a net negative when it came to pass coverage. It's perhaps telling that despite having a need at both safety spots, the Cowboys opted to bring in two new starters for their defense while jettisoning the three-year starter without so much of an offer.

Vikings sign safety Xavier Woods in another move to improve their defense Minnesota, coach Mike Zimmer add fifth defensive free agent in hopes of turning around unit ranked 29th in the league last season.

MARCH 27, 2021 • THEATHLETIC.COM

Inconsistent in 2020 Woods recorded 72 tackles (48 solo) with one pass defended in 15 games during 2020.

Impact He missed a game late in the season with a rib injury, but otherwise Woods held down a starting spot in a terrible Dallas defense. The fourth-year safety topped 70 tackles for the second straight season, but he got exposed in coverage and failed to record an interception after grabbing at least one in each of his first three seasons. Woods now is headed into free agency, and new defensive coordinator Dan Quinn likely will be more interested in finding an upgrade than in bringing him back.

Defense figures to be focus as Cowboys miss playoffs again

The offense for the Dallas Cowboys is just waiting for several important players to return going into coach Mike McCarthy's second season

JANUARY 4, 2021 • Associated Press

Good to go for Week 17 Woods (ribs) is active for Sunday's game against the Giants, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Impact After being contained to limited participation during all three of the Cowboys' practice sessions this week, Woods has seemingly shown enough during pregame warmups to get the nod for his 15th appearance of the season. Having started all 14 times he's suited up so far, Woods enters the regular-season finale with 69 tackles. The 25-year-old has yet to collect his first interception of the year, after combining for five INTs between 2017 and 2019.

JANUARY 3, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable Week 17 Woods (ribs) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Impact The 25-year-old was limited at practice this week with the rib injury, so he appears to have a solid chance of suiting up Sunday. Reggie Robinson is next in line to start at free safety if Woods is unavailable.

Limited Wednesday Woods (ribs) was limited at Wednesday's practice, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Impact Woods was sidelined in last week's game against the Eagles. His participation, albeit limited, at practice indicates he is trending in the right direction. However, Reggie Robinson would be in line to once again replace him at free safety should he end up having to sit out again.

Not expected to play Sunday Woods (ribs) is unlikely to take the field for Sunday's matchup versus Philadelphia, Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Impact Woods has yet to practice this week after suffering the rib injury in Sunday's win over San Francisco, leaving his status for the crucial upcoming matchup against the Eagles in serious doubt. With Woods likely out, expect either Reggie Robinson or Darian Thompson to start in his place.
