Cowboys Lose Four Defensive Contributors in Midweek Practice While Ravens Report Multiple Absences Ahead of Brazil Game

Those practice absences raise short-term availability questions that could force lineup changes and strain Dallas’s defensive depth.

Overview

  • Dallas missed cornerback Cobie Durant, safeties Malik Hooker and P.J. Locke, and linebacker DeMarvion Overshown at Wednesday’s practice with hamstring, forearm, foot, and hamstring issues respectively.
  • The four absentees include three recent starters and one key reserve whose Week 1–2 snap totals show they played meaningful roles in the defense.
  • Outside linebacker James Houston returned to full practice participation despite a shoulder issue, giving the Cowboys at least one positive sign in the midweek report.
  • Baltimore also sat four players in the same session, including tackle Ronnie Stanley (toe), receiver Zay Flowers (day-to-day hamstring), Trey Hendrickson (severely broken finger) and Calais Campbell (veteran rest).
  • These are developing midweek practice designations that can change in later sessions or the official gameday report and could force rotation shifts, extra snaps for backups, and altered game planning for the teams traveling to Brazil.
