Cowboys news: How Dallas can fill the holes at safety
"Thomas' migraines are new to him, a fact he disclosed to me ahead of the trip to Denver, and he's working desperately with the medical staff to try and figure out what treatment works to make them subside and ultimately disappear; and that includes trying a specialized type of goggles in practice, but none of it has resulted in him returning just yet. He's now missed two games, and a third absence could very well be on the way when the Arizona Cardinals arrive."
"Hooker qualifies to return to practice under his 21-day window, having now been sidelined for four games, but head coach Brian Schottenheimer was definitive in declaring the veteran safety will not be permitted to touch the field again just yet, meaning he'll need more time to rehab. As for Wilson, it's been a battle over the past couple of weeks or more to remain available as he deals with injuries, elbow and shoulder, that finally shut him down in Week 8,"
"The situation is so dire that Reddy Steward, a nickel cornerback, was moved to safety alongside Bell against the Broncos, and it goes without saying that can't be a long-term solution but, again, there are no other healthy safeties on the active roster other than Bell. Solution? There are a few, but since I am disallowed to name players under contract with other teams for possible trade scenarios (see? I can behave - sometimes),"
Multiple Dallas Cowboys safeties are sidelined with varying prognoses. Thomas suffers new migraines and has tried treatments including specialized goggles, missing two games with a possible third absence looming against the Arizona Cardinals. Hooker is eligible to return within his 21-day window after four missed games, but the head coach ruled him out as he continues rehab. Wilson has battled elbow and shoulder injuries that shut him down in Week 8 and may miss the upcoming game before the bye. Roster thinness forced nickel cornerback Reddy Steward to play safety alongside Bell, leaving Bell as the only healthy safety. Free-agent options are limited midseason.
