Cowboys Place Safety Malik Hooker on IR with Toe Injury, Sidelining Him at Least 4 Games

Malik Hooker will miss at least four games due to a left toe injury sustained against Green Bay, with safety Alijah Clark signed to replace him on the active roster.

  • On Oct 4, 2025, the Dallas Cowboys placed Malik Hooker on injured reserve, sidelining the safety at least four games after a left toe injury against Green Bay Packers.
  • Hooker pulled up midplay in the first half against the Green Bay Packers, and he was seen at practice in street clothes with a walking boot this past week.

  • Dallas will be without multiple key starters against the New York Jets, including receiver/returner KaVontae Turpin, while left guard Tyler Smith remains questionable with a knee injury.
