Cowboys' Jourdan Lewis: Estimated as limited Wednesday
Rotowire
Lewis (neck) was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday's estimated injury report, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
Lewis was sidelined for the Cowboys' loss to the Texans this past Monday due to a neck injury. He wasn't able to practice last week due to the injury, and even though Wednesday's report is an estimation, his ability to participate in the walkthrough in a limited capacity indicates he is progressing through the issue. Lewis' practice participation over the next two days will indicate whether he'll return from a one-game absence against the Commanders on Sunday.

Cowboys' Eric Kendricks: Nursing shoulder injury
Rotowire
Kendricks (shoulder) was listed as a limited practice participant for Wednesday's walkthrough, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
Kendricks led the Cowboys with nine tackles in Monday's loss to the Texans, but it appears the 2015 second-round pick injured his shoulder in the process. His practice participation over the next two days will provide a sense of his availability for Sunday's NFC East clash against the Commanders.

Cowboys' DaRon Bland: Could return for Week 12
Rotowire
Bland (foot) was listed as a full participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
Up until Wednesday, Bland had not been able to participate in practice since his 21-day window to return from injured reserve opened Oct. 30. Granted, Wednesday's session was a walkthrough as the Cowboys played Monday night, but if Bland is able to practice in at least a limited capacity Thursday and Friday, he would be in a good spot to make his 2024 regular-season debut against the Commanders on Sunday.

Cowboys' Markquese Bell: Won't return this season
Rotowire
Bell will miss the remainder of the season due to a dislocated shoulder suffered in Monday's loss to the Texans, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
Bell may ultimately need surgery to repair his shoulder and will likely be placed on injured reserve in the very near future. The absence of the Flordia A&M product will be a significant blow to the Cowboys' special-teams unit.

Cowboys' Marshawn Kneeland: Window opens
Rotowire
Kneeland (knee) has been designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday, Patrik Walker of the Cowboys' official site reports.
Kneeland suffered a partially torn lateral meniscus in early October and had a four- to six-week recovery timeline. With six weeks now passed, the Western Michigan product appears to be on the verge of returning. He will have a 21-day window to practice with the team before needing to be placed back on the active roster, however, he could return as soon as Sunday against the Commanders, if he's healthy enough to do so.

Viliami Fehoko: Gets look from Washington
Rotowire
The Commanders hosted Fehoko (undisclosed) for a workout Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
The 2023 fourth-round pick suffered an unspecified injury during training camp and was placed on injured reserve by the Cowboys in late August. The two sides were able to reach an injury settlement in early September, allowing Fehoko -- once fully healthy -- the opportunity to sign with a team in need of offensive line depth.

Cowboys' Eric Kendricks: Dallas' leading tackler in loss
Rotowire
Kendricks recorded nine tackles (five solo) during Monday's 34-10 loss versus the Texans.
Kendricks now has at least eight tackles in all nine of his appearances so far this year, putting him safely on pace for his ninth consecutive season with at least 100 tackles. He projects as a strong IDP play in most formats for the Cowboys' game in Week 12 at Washington.

Cowboys' Nick Vigil: Will play through foot injury
Rotowire
Vigil (foot) is active for Monday's Week 11 game against Houston, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
Vigil dealt with a foot injury throughout the week and wasn't able to take part in any practices, but he'll still be able to suit up on Monday Night Football. The veteran linebacker has played mostly on special teams this season, but he could see more than his usual allotment of defensive snaps against the Texans with Damone Clark (coach's decision) a surprise inactive.
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' Nick Vigil: Questionable due to foot injury
Rotowire
Vigil (foot) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Texans, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
While Vigil has been tagged as questionable, he's likely leaning more toward doubtful due to the fact that he hasn't been able to practice all week due to a foot injury. Vigil's potential absence Monday wouldn't make too much of a difference for the Cowboys' defense, as he's mostly played on special teams this season.

Rotowire
Carson (shoulder/illness) was a full participant in Friday's practice, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
Carson opened the Cowboys' week of practice with a DNP due to a shoulder injury and an illness.

Thomas appears on track to return for the team's Monday night clash with Houston this week. The second-year pro has played on 32 defensive snaps and 179 special-teams snaps in eight games this season, making seven tackles (six solo) and forcing a fumble.

Cowboys' DeMarvion Overshown: Logs full practice Thursday
Rotowire
Overshown (knee) was a full practice participant Thursday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
Overshown underwent X-rays on his knee following the Cowboys' Week 10 loss to the Eagles. He was diagnosed with bursitis in his right knee, but that doesn't appear to be a major issue as he was able to practice Thursday without limitations. Unless he suffers a setback, Overshown should suit up against Houston on Monday. In the three games since Dallas' Week 7 bye, Overshown has logged 26 tackles (14 solo), including 3.0 sacks.

Cowboys' Caelen Carson: Working through shoulder issue
Rotowire
Carson (shoulder/illness) did not practice Thursday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
After missing four regular-season games due to a shoulder injury, Carson has played in the Cowboys' last two games and has logged 12 tackles (10 solo) and two pass defenses over that span. However, his lingering shoulder issue and an illness caused him to sit out of Thursday's practice. Carson's practice participation over the next two days will indicate whether he'll play Monday against the Texans.

Cowboys' Jourdan Lewis: Dealing with neck injury
Rotowire
Lewis (neck) did not practice Thursday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
Lewis logged four tackles (two solo) during the Cowboys' Week 10 loss to the Eagles, but it appears he may have picked up a neck injury in the process. The 2017 third-round pick will have two more chances to practice ahead of Monday's game against the Texans. In the three regular-season games since the Cowboys' Week 7 bye, Lewis has logged 17 tackles (nine solo).

Cowboys' DaRon Bland: Remains sidelined with foot injury
Rotowire
Bland (foot) was listed as a DNP on Thursday's injury report, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
Bland's 21-day practice window to return from injured reserve opened Oct. 30, but the 2022 fifth-round pick has failed to return to practice since. If he's not activated off IR by Nov. 20, Bland would be forced to spend the rest of the 2024 regular season on IR. At this point, it appears unlikely that he will be able to play against the Texans on Monday.

Cowboys' Marist Liufau: Solid game in relief
Rotowire
Liufau recorded five tackles (four solo) and a fumble recovery in Sunday's 34-6 loss to the Eagles.
The outside linebacker replaced starter DeMarvion Overshown after the latter exited the game with a knee injury in the third quarter. Overshown's injury is not believed to be serious, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. That could limit Liufau's playing time moving forward, as he has only played on more than 50 percent of the defensive snaps once this season.
