Overview
- The Cowboys fell 28-20 to the New York Giants on Sunday night and allowed 394 total yards, including 165 rushing yards that exposed problems stopping the run.
- Safety Malik Hooker exited late in the third quarter after an off-play incident and head coach Brian Schottenheimer said Hooker may have a fractured forearm and will undergo more testing.
- Linebacker DeMarvion Overshown left with a right hamstring issue that the team has not yet graded and will need further evaluation to determine how long he might miss.
- Running back Malik Davis has been placed on injured reserve with a confirmed non-contact hip injury, creating an immediate hole in the backfield and special-teams units.
- If Hooker or Overshown miss time, Dallas will face quick depth and communication changes on defense, force early lineup shifts for upcoming game plans, and test younger players who filled their roles late Sunday.
