Cowboys' Damone Clark: Surprisingly inactive Monday
Damone 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.

Cowboys' Damone Clark: Leading tackler Sunday
Damone 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 Dallas 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.

Cowboys' Damone Clark: Sits with sore knee
Damone 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 Dallas Cowboys aren't going to push a defensive starter too hard.

Cowboys' Damone Clark: Career-high 109 tackles in 2023
Damone Clark recorded a career-high 109 tackles (70 solo) while adding three passes defended and a fumble recovery over 17 regular-season games in 2023.He added eight more stops in a wild-card loss to the Packers. A fifth-round pick in 2022 due to back surgery that significantly impacted his draft stock, Clark looked 100 percent recovered as he played in every game for the Dallas Cowboys and took over an every-down role for most of the year. Leighton Vander Esch still has one season left on his contract, but he played only five games in 2023 and would be an easy cut to save cap space, potentially putting the speedy Clark in a starting role right from Week 1 next season.

Cowboys' Damone Clark: Racks up 11 tackles in Buffalo
Damone Clark recorded a team-high 11 tackles (seven solo) in Sunday's loss to the Bills.The Dallas Cowboys' defense spent more time on the field than usual as the offense's road woes continued, and Clark took advantage by producing double-digit tackles for the third time this season. The second-year linebacker needs just six more stops for the first 100-tackle campaign of his career, a mark he could reach in Week 16 against the Dolphins, but his lack of splash plays limits his IDP upside -- Clark has zero sacks or INTs in 24 career NFL games.
