Returns to full practice Hooker (hamstring) logged a full practice session Wednesday, per Jon Machota of The Athletic.

Impact Hooker was unable to practice at all Week 8 and ended up missing the win over the Bears. However, he had time to recover during Dallas' subsequent bye week and appears to be back near full health. Assuming he doesn't suffer any setbacks during practice this week, Hooker should be able to return to his big role in the Cowboys' secondary Sunday in Green Bay.

Not playing Sunday Hooker (hamstring) is inactive Sunday against the Bears, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact Hooker was unable to practice this week and was considered a game-time decision coming into Sunday. With the Cowboys entering a bye week, Hooker will have extended time to prepare for a return to the field.

Viewed as game-time call Hooker (hamstring), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest against the Bears, is considered a game-time decision, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact Even though Hooker's hamstring injury kept him sidelined for practice all week, the Cowboys aren't closing the door on the sixth-year safety suiting up. After playing north of 70 percent of the snaps on defense in each of Dallas' first six games, Hooker dropped down to a season-low 51 percent snap share in the Week 7 win over Detroit, with the hamstring issue perhaps contributing to his lighter-than-normal playing time.

Sits out of practice Hooker (hamstring) did not practice Wednesday, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact It's unclear when Hooker sustained his hamstring injury as he was able to compile a team-high 12 tackles in Sunday's loss to the Eagles. The safety will have two more practice opportunities prior to Sunday's contest against Chicago.

Dozen tackles against Eagles Hooker recorded a team-high 12 tackles (10 solo) in Sunday's loss to the Eagles.

Impact The veteran safety not only set a season high in tackles, he ties his personal career high -- a mark he'd previously reached as a Colt in 2018. Hooker already has 34 tackles through six games, and if he can stay healthy he's on pace to shatter his prior personal best of 51, set over 13 games in 2019.

Season-high eight stops in win Hooker recorded eight tackles (five solo), including one for loss, during Sunday's 25-10 win over the Commanders.

Impact Hooker recorded a season-high eight stops during the win, falling one short of the team high. The veteran safety has played every defensive snap for the Cowboys over the past three weeks, recording 17 tackles (12 solo). He'll look to build off his season-high performance against the Rams on Sunday.
