Cowboys' Jalen Brooks: Won't play in Week 16
Jalen Brooks (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Buccaneers, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports.Brooks showed up on the Dallas Cowboys' Week 16 practice report Thursday as limited due to a knee injury and didn't handle any reps Friday before the team made a decision on his status ahead of the weekend. With Brooks out of the lineup Sunday, Jalen Tolbert, KaVontae Turpin, Jonathan Mingo and Ryan Flournoy will be the tertiary wide receivers behind starters CeeDee Lamb and Brandin Cooks.

Cowboys' Jalen Brooks: Pops up on Thursday's injury report
Jalen Brooks (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.Wilson wasn't listed on Wednesday's injury report, so it appears his knee injury is a new one. It's not clear how severe the injury is, but Friday's practice report will give a better idea of his status heading into Sunday's game against Tampa Bay. The 2023 seventh-round pick caught the first touchdown pass of his NFL career this past Sunday against the Panthers.

Cowboys' Jalen Brooks: Catches first career TD
Jalen Brooks caught his only target for a 17-yard touchdown in Sunday's win over the Panthers.The second-year wideout hauled in his first career TD in the third quarter, beating two defenders to the ball in the back corner of the end zone as Cooper Rush scrambled out of the pocket. Brooks has seen little usage this season and has even been a healthy inactive at times, and he's unlikely to break out with CeeDee Lamb, Brandin Cooks and Jalen Tolbert all healthy. Brooks will be little more than a desperation dart throw Week 16, even against a shaky Buccaneers secondary.

Cowboys' Jalen Brooks: Healthy scratch for Week 14
Jalen Brooks (coach's decision) is inactive for Monday's game against Cincinnati, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.Brooks logged under 30 percent of Dallas' offensive snaps each of the past two weeks after notching over half of the team's offensive snaps in each of the four prior games that he suited up for. His inactive status for Monday can be tied to the Week 13 return of Brandin Cooks from a lengthy injury absence as well as the Dallas Cowboys' acquisition of Jonathan Mingo in early November. Brooks hasn't been producing of late when he has taken the field, tallying just three catches on eight targets for over his past three games.

Cowboys' Jalen Brooks: One big catch Sunday
Jalen Brooks caught one of three targets for 41 yards in Sunday's win over the Commanders.After being dropped from the game-day lineup Week 11, the second-year wideout suited up again Sunday but played only 17 offensive snaps, his lowest total since Week 4. Brooks did make an impact, though, as his long reception just before halftime set up a 46-yard field goal for Brandon Aubrey. Brooks has seen his target volume increase since Cooper Rush replaced Dak Prescott (hamstring) as the Dallas Cowboys' starting QB, but he hasn't done much with it. Over his last three appearances, Brooks has managed a 4-71-0 line on 12 looks. Brooks figures to get bumped down the depth chart once Brandin Cooks (knee) is ready to return from IR, something that could happen as soon as Week 13 against the Giants.

Cowboys' Jalen Brooks: Not suiting up for MNF
Jalen Brooks (coach's decision) is inactive for Monday's Week 11 tilt versus the Texans, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.Brooks has been inefficient as a pass catcher this season, hauling in just eight of 24 targets. He logged over half of the Dallas Cowboys' offensive snaps in each of the team's past four games but won't take the field Monday. Brooks' inactive status coincides with the team debut of Jonathan Mingo, who was acquired in a trade with Carolina on Nov. 5.

Cowboys' Jalen Brooks: Catches one pass in loss
Jalen Brooks caught one of four targets for four yards in Sunday's 34-6 loss to the Eagles.Brooks was held in check Sunday, catching only one pass for the sixth time this season. The second-year wideout has recorded multiple receptions just once this season, when he caught two passes for 26 yards in Week 9. Through nine games, Brooks has totaled just eight grabs for 107 scoreless yards. The 24-year-old should remain an unreliable option for fantasy purposes, especially with the Dallas Cowboys turning to Cooper Rush at quarterback with Dak Prescott (hamstring) undergoing season-ending surgery. The Cowboys will host the Texans in Week 11.

Cowboys' Jalen Brooks: Season-high two catches Sunday
Jalen Brooks caught two of five targets for 26 yards in Sunday's loss to the Falcons.The second-year wideout saw five-plus targets for the second time in the last three games but once again failed to do much with the increased volume, although his two catches were a season high. Brooks remains an afterthought in the Dallas Cowboys offense, but he could be pushed into a bigger role Week 10 against the Eagles if CeeDee Lamb (shoulder) ends up missing time.

Cowboys' Jalen Brooks: Targeted six times
Jalen Brooks caught one of six targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 47-9 loss to the Lions.Brooks saw a significant bump in his usage Sunday, playing 49 of the Dallas Cowboys' 69 offensive snaps. The second-year receiver's 71 percent snap share and six targets were both season highs, though it bears mentioning that a significant amount of his playing time came while the Cowboys were facing a big deficit in the second half. Even with fellow wideout Brandin Cooks (knee) on injured reserve, Brooks will likely struggle to see consistent volume in the passing game in more competitive contests.
