The veteran safety is consulting a hand specialist, and a six-week absence is possible as Dallas weighs injured reserve options.
- On Monday, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported that Dallas Cowboys safety Malik Hooker suffered a fractured forearm during Sunday's 28-20 loss to the New York Giants.
- Hooker sustained the injury late in the third quarter after colliding with Giants tight end Chris Manhertz while reprising his starting safety role in Week 1.
