Malik Hooker Suffers Forearm Injury in Loss to Giants

Cowboys safety Malik Hooker exited the game against the Giants on Sunday night due to a forearm injury, leaving his return date uncertain.

Head coach Brian Schottenheimer indicated that Hooker may have fractured his forearm, a diagnosis later confirmed by tests. Hooker is consulting with specialists to assess the specific fracture and establish a recovery timeline.

While some forearm fractures can result in a six-week absence, there is optimism that Hooker could return sooner. He recorded one tackle before leaving the game, and other safeties who played included Jalen Thompson, Caleb Downs, and P.J. Locke.
