Clark (coach's decision) is inactive for Week 11 against Houston on Monday Night Football, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports. Clark was a starter last season and began this year logging a healthy amount of defensive snaps, but be played only on special teams in Weeks 8 and 9 before notching 31 percent of Dallas' defensive snaps in Week 10. He wasn't tagged with an injury designation this week, so his inactive status Monday appears to be a coach's decision. Nick Vigil entered Monday deemed questionable with a foot injury, but he's active and will likely soak up extra snaps in Clark's absence.

Clark recorded a team-high nine tackles, including 0.5 sacks, in Sunday's loss to the Lions. With Eric Kendricks (calf) sidelined, it was Clark and not DeMarvion Overshown who stepped up as the Cowboys' leading tackler. Clark had fallen out of the linebacker rotation completely just one week before, however, seeing zero defensive snaps and 18 special-teams snaps in a Week 5 win over the Steelers. With Kendricks able to use Dallas' bye to get healthy, Clark may not maintain a fantasy-friendly role in Week 8 against the 49ers.

Clark recorded seven tackles (five solo) in the Cowboys' Week 2 loss to the Saints on Sunday. After playing just 34 percent of the defensive snaps off the bench in the Week 1 win over the Browns, Clark started and doubled his snap share -- 69 percent -- versus New Orleans. Through two games, Clark has 11 tackles (seven solo) to his name. He's also played 18 snaps on special teams.

Clark (knee) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice session, Nick Harris of the Cowboys' official site reports. Clark had been dealing with a sore left knee since mid-August, but he appears to be good to go for Week 1 against Cleveland on Sunday. The 2022 fifth-round pick took a giant leap during his sophomore campaign, and he finished 2023 with 109 tackles (70 solo), three passes defended and one fumble recovery over 17 regular-season games.

Clark didn't practice Wednesday due to a sore left knee, Nick Harris of DallasCowboys.com reports. The third-year linebacker doesn't appear to be dealing with a serious injury, but at this stage of camp the Cowboys aren't going to push a defensive starter too hard. Clark stepped up last season with a career-high 109 tackles, and he could take his production higher in 2024 in new defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer's linebacker-friendly scheme.
