Alijah Clark: Breaking News

Clark (personal) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Giants. Per the Cowboys, Clark is attending to a personal matter and will not be with the team for Sunday's regular-season finale. He'll end the 2025 regular season with 18 tackles (nine solo) and one forced fumble across 11 games while contributing mostly on special teams. Markquese Bell will be the top reserve option at safety behind Malik Hooker and Donovan Wilson in Clark's absence.

Clark (ribs) is active for Monday night's game against the Raiders. Clark missed Week 9 with the injury, but the Cowboys' bye came at the right time, and he'll draw back into the lineup. Clark has played just 38 defensive snaps across four appearances this season, logging another 50 snaps on special teams.

Clark (ribs) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game against the Cardinals, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports. Clark did not log a practice this week due to the rib injury he suffered in last Sunday's 44-24 loss against the Broncos. The Cowboys' safety carousel will continue this week, with a number of other defensive backs potentially filling the role. Markquese Bell, C.J. Goodwin, Trikweze Bridges or Kaiir Elam all have a shot to be the third starting strong safety in as many weeks for the Cowboys defense.
