Brooks (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports. The wide receiver was estimated as a non-participant on Wednesday's injury report. Brooks could be in line to see more opportunities with CeeDee Lamb now out for the season with his shoulder injury. The second-year pro has 11 catches for 165 yards and a touchdown in 2024 so far.

Brooks (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports. The wide receiver was estimated as a non-participant on Wednesday's injury report. Brooks could be in line to see more opportunities with CeeDee Lamb now out for the season with his shoulder injury. The second-year pro has 11 catches for 165 yards and a touchdown in 2024 so far.
Brooks (knee) was estimated as a non-participant in Dallas' practice report Thursday, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports. Brooks is still dealing with the knee injury that forced him to sit out the team's Week 16 matchup versus the Buccaneers. He will likely have to practice in some capacity in order to have a chance to play in Sunday's matchup versus the Eagles.
Brooks (knee) is inactive for Sunday Night Football against the Buccaneers, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports. The wide receiver was a limited participant in Thursday's practice before missing Friday's session. Brooks, a 2023 seventh-round pick, has 11 catches for 165 yards and a touchdown in his second season. KaVontae Turpin, Jonathan Mingo and Ryan Flournoy should move up the depth chart in his absence.
Brooks (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Buccaneers, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports. Brooks showed up on the Cowboys' Week 16 practice report Thursday as limited due to a knee injury and didn't handle any reps Friday before the team made a decision on his status ahead of the weekend. With Brooks out of the lineup Sunday, Jalen Tolbert, KaVontae Turpin, Jonathan Mingo and Ryan Flournoy will be the tertiary wide receivers behind starters CeeDee Lamb and Brandin Cooks.
Brooks (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports. Wilson wasn't listed on Wednesday's injury report, so it appears his knee injury is a new one. It's not clear how severe the injury is, but Friday's practice report will give a better idea of his status heading into Sunday's game against Tampa Bay. The 2023 seventh-round pick caught the first touchdown pass of his NFL career this past Sunday against the Panthers.
Brooks caught his only target for a 17-yard touchdown in Sunday's win over the Panthers. The second-year wideout hauled in his first career TD in the third quarter, beating two defenders to the ball in the back corner of the end zone as Cooper Rush scrambled out of the pocket. Brooks has seen little usage this season and has even been a healthy inactive at times, and he's unlikely to break out with CeeDee Lamb, Brandin Cooks and Jalen Tolbert all healthy. Brooks will be little more than a desperation dart throw Week 16, even against a shaky Buccaneers secondary.
Brooks (coach's decision) is inactive for Monday's game against Cincinnati, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports. Brooks logged under 30 percent of Dallas' offensive snaps each of the past two weeks after notching over half of the team's offensive snaps in each of the four prior games that he suited up for. His inactive status for Monday can be tied to the Week 13 return of Brandin Cooks from a lengthy injury absence as well as the Cowboys' acquisition of Jonathan Mingo in early November. Brooks hasn't been producing of late when he has taken the field, tallying just three catches on eight targets for over his past three games.
Brooks caught one of three targets for 41 yards in Sunday's win over the Commanders. After being dropped from the gameday lineup in Week 11, the second-year wideout suited up again Sunday but played only 17 offensive snaps, his lowest total since Week 4. Brooks did make an impact though, as his long reception just before halftime set up a 46-yard field goal for Brandon Aubrey. Brooks has seen his target volume increase since Cooper Rush replaced Dak Prescott (hamstring) as the Cowboys' starting QB, but he hasn't done much with it -- over his last three appearances he's managed a 4-71-0 line on 12 looks. Brooks figures to get bumped down the depth chart once Brandin Cooks (knee) is ready to return from IR, something that could happen as soon as Week 13 against the Giants.
Brooks (coach's decision) is inactive for Monday's Week 11 tilt versus the Texans, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports. Brooks has been inefficient as a pass catcher this season, hauling in just eight of 24 targets. He logged over half of the Cowboys' offensive snaps in each of the team's past four games but won't take the field Monday. Brooks' inactive status coincides with the team debut of Jonathan Mingo, who was acquired in a trade with Carolina on Nov. 5.
