Dee Winters — Questionable
Winters remains sidelined with a calf injury he sustained in the Cowboys' Week 6 loss to the Packers. If the inside linebacker cannot upgrade to at least a limited participant by Friday's practice, he will likely be ruled out ahead of the Week 8 showdown with the Cardinals.
Dee Winters — Out
Winters was unable to practice all week due to what was designated as a calf injury, and the third-year linebacker will end up missing his first game of the season. The good news for the Cowboys is that DeMarvion Overshown is back in the fold, and he'll be joined by either Shemar James or Jaishawn Barham at inside linebacker for Monday night's contest. Winters' next opportunity to play is Week 8 against Arizona on Sunday, Nov. 1.
Dee Winters — Doubtful
Winters suffered a strained Achilles in the second quarter of Sunday night's contest and did not return. The linebacker will likely miss the Cowboys' Week 7 game against the Eagles due to the injury and could be out longer.
Dee Winters — Doubtful
Winters suffered an ankle injury in the second quarter, and his availability for the rest of the game is now up in the air. In his absence, Shemar James will stand to see an increase in workload at inside linebacker.
Dee Winters — Active
Winters was able to lead the team in stops, notching his first double-digit tackle performance of the year. The linebacker has now compiled 35 total tackles (23 solo) and a fumble recovery over five contests to open the 2026 campaign.
Dee Winters — Active
Winters sustained a shoulder injury in the first quarter and exited the contest for further evaluation. Winters has now been cleared to return, which should lead to a reduction in snaps for Shemar James and Jaishawn Barham.
