Liufau recorded five tackles (two solo) including a forced fumble during Sunday's 30-14 win at Carolina.
Liufau punched the ball out of the arms of a diving Bryce Young during the Panthers' first drive of the game, keeping them off the scoreboard despite reaching the red zone. He figures to retain a near-every down role in Week 16 when Dallas hosts the Buccaneers.

Rotowire
Kendricks recorded five tackles (two solo) and an interception during Sunday's 30-14 win at Carolina.
Kendricks picked off a third-down pass intended for Adam Thielen in the second quarter, setting up a Cowboys field goal to go up 10-0. He also played all 50 of Dallas' defensive snaps Sunday, a big part of the reason he profiles as a plus IDP option for Week 16 versus the Buccaneers.

Parsons recorded 2.0 sacks among his four tackles (three solo) in Sunday's win over the Panthers.
Despite missing four games in the middle of the season due to an ankle injury, Parsons is on the verge of reaching double-digit sacks for the fourth straight season. In six games since his return, he's piled up 7.5 sacks, giving him 8.5 on the year with three games left on the Cowboys' schedule.

Cowboys' Trevon Diggs: Long recovery ahead
Rotowire
Diggs will undergo surgery this week to repair a knee cartilage injury and his recovery could take up to eight months, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Diggs' initial timeline could have him missing most of training camp, and possibly the start of next season, if he suffers any setbacks. The 26-year-old finished his season with 42 combined tackles and 11 passes defended, including two interceptions, in 11 games.

Cowboys' Jourdan Lewis: Exits with injury Sunday
Rotowire
Lewis is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Panthers due to an elbow injury, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Lewis logged three tackles, including a sack, before exiting during the second half. The 29-year-old has served as Dallas' top slot corner this season, totaling 52 tackles and four passes defended across 12 appearances coming into Week 15. With the game almost over, it's likely that Kemon Hall will step in at slot corner for the remainder of the fourth quarter.

Cowboys' Caelen Carson: Recovering from surgery
Rotowire
Carson underwent season-ending surgery on his shoulder prior to last week's 27-20 loss to the Bengals, Nick Harris of The Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
Carson initially injured his shoulder Week 3, then missed four games before returning to action Week 9. He then appeared in three straight contests, only to go on injured reserve in late November while the shoulder injury continued to linger. After getting surgery, the 2024 fifth-round pick out of Wake Forest will close out his rookie campaign having tallied 27 tackles and four pass breakups over six games. He should be back to full health ahead of the 2025 season.

Rotowire
Lewis (hamstring) is active for Sunday's matchup with the Panthers.

Rotowire
Kendricks (personal/shoulder) is active for Sunday's game against the Panthers.

Cowboys' Trevon Diggs: Set for season-ending surgery
Rotowire
Diggs is expected to undergo surgery on his left knee will miss the remainder of the 2024 campaign, David Moore of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Diggs had already been ruled out for Sunday's game against Carolina, which will mark his third absence in four weeks. He's been a mainstay on Dallas' injury report all season, having also dealt with foot, ankle, calf and groin issues throughout the campaign. With surgery now on tap, Diggs' season comes to a sudden end after just 11 games, during which he tallied 42 tackles and two interceptions. The 26-year-old cornerback was limited to just two games in 2023 after suffering a torn ACL in the same knee, though his latest injury is considered unrelated and instead involves damage to the cartilage at the end of his bones in his joint, per Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. Diggs is expected to face an eight-month recovery timeline from surgery, so while he'll likely remain out for offseason workouts in the spring, he could be cleared in advance of training camp in late July.

Cowboys' Trevon Diggs: Downgraded to out for Sunday
Rotowire
Diggs (knee) won't play in Sunday's Week 15 contest against Carolina, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
Diggs was deemed questionable to face the Panthers on Dallas' injury report Friday, but he's since been ruled out. The veteran cornerback will thus miss his third game in four weeks -- Diggs was able to suit up Monday against Cincinnati and played all of the Cowboys' defensive snaps, but he apparently isn't past his knee issue. Andrew Booth and/or Amani Oruwariye could be asked to step up in Diggs' stead Sunday.

Cowboys' DeMarvion Overshown: Moved to injured reserve
Rotowire
Overshown (knee) was placed on IR on Saturday, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
This was a foregone conclusion, as Overshown is slated for surgery to repair the ACL, MCL and PCL in his right knee. The Texas product was enjoying a breakout campaign, tallying 90 tackles (including 5.0 sacks), a pick-six and a forced fumble prior to suffering the injury on Monday Night Football Week 14 against Cincinnati. It's not yet clear how long Overshown will need to rehab, but he's unlikely to be ready to play by the start of the 2025 campaign.

Cowboys' Juanyeh Thomas: Slated for another absence
Rotowire
Thomas (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 15 contest against Carolina, Patrik Walker of the Cowboys' official site reports.
Thomas hurt his knee against the Giants in Week 13 and missed this past Monday's loss to Cincinnati. He hasn't practiced at all since suffering the injury, so he didn't appear to be close to being able to suit up this week. Thomas has done most of his work on special teams this season, logging 236 snaps with the unit versus just 62 on defense over 11 games.

Cowboys' Trevon Diggs: Questionable for Week 15
Rotowire
Diggs (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Panthers, Patrik Walker of the Cowboys' official site reports.
The Alabama product played through his knee injury in Dallas' Week 14 loss to the Bengals, recording five total tackles and three passes defended over 65 defensive snaps. He practiced in a limited fashion Wednesday and Thursday but downgraded to an estimated DNP on Friday, which suggests he's trending in the wrong direction ahead of Week 15. If Diggs is able to suit up Sunday, he'll serve as one of Dallas' starting outside cornerbacks.

Cowboys' Jourdan Lewis: Questionable for Week 15
Rotowire
Lewis (hamstring) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Panthers, Patrik Walker of the Cowboys' official site reports.
Lewis logged three consecutive limited practice sessions due to a hamstring injury following the Cowboys' Week 14 loss to the Bengals, putting his Week 15 status in doubt. The Michigan product has appeared in 12 games for Dallas this season, recording 52 total tackles and four passes defended. If he's unable to suit up Sunday, Kemon Hall will likely serve as the Cowboys' top slot corner.

Cowboys' Eric Kendricks: Could play in Week 15
Rotowire
Kendricks (personal/shoulder) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Panthers, Patrik Walker of the Cowboys' official site reports.
Despite logging three consecutive DNPs during the Cowboys' week of practice due to personal and shoulder issues, the veteran linebacker still has a chance to suit up in Week 15. However, it seems unlikely that Kendricks will play since he wasn't able to practice in at least in a limited capacity Friday. If he's sidelined Sunday, Buddy Johnson (illness) or Damone Clark could see increased work with the Cowboys' first-team defense.

Cowboys' Jourdan Lewis: Limited by hamstring issue
Rotowire
Lewis was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice walkthrough due to a hamstring injury, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
It's not clear when Lewis picked up the hamstring issue, as he played 100 percent of Dallas' defensive snaps in Monday's loss to the Bengals. The Cowboys held a walkthrough Wednesday, so Lewis' level of participation when Dallas holds regular practices this week should better clarify whether he's in danger of missing Sunday's game against the Panthers.

Cowboys' Trevon Diggs: Limited to begin practice week
Rotowire
Diggs (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice walkthrough, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
Diggs returned from a two-game absence Monday versus Cincinnati and played every one of Dallas' defensive snaps, finishing with five tackles and three pass defenses. His designation of limited Wednesday may simply reflect that he's not 100 percent recovered from the knee issue. Diggs' practice participation the rest of the week should help clarify whether he's in any danger of missing Sunday's contest against Carolina.

Cowboys' Malik Hooker: Snags pick in loss
Rotowire
Hooker tallied seven tackles (four solo) and an interception in the Cowboys' loss to the Bengals on Monday.
Hooker was one of the few bright spots on Dallas' defense during Monday's loss as he recorded the team's only interception of Joe Burrow, which was his second of the campaign. Throughout 13 games played this season, the 2017 first-round pick has racked up 61 tackles (36 solo), which is just one short of his career high set back in 2022.

Wilson totaled nine tackles (five solo), with 0.5 sacks, and a forced fumble during Dallas' loss to the Bengals on Monday.
Wilson had one of his best outings of the campaign despite the loss, as his nine tackles served as a new season high for the 29-year-old. Wilson also managed to force a fumble, a feat he's now accomplished twice across the past three weeks.

Cowboys' Eric Kendricks: Leading tackler in loss
Rotowire
Kendricks logged 12 tackles (eight solo) during the Cowboys' loss to the Bengals on Monday.
Kendricks led the team in stops and has now recorded double-digit tackles three weeks in a row. The 2015 first-round pick has been productive in his first season in Dallas, racking up 119 tackles (61 solo), with 3.0 sacks, and an interception in 12 games played.
