Dallas Cowboys Practice Report
The Cowboys had a typical Thursday practice, which is more amped up than Wednesdays.
The team was not in pads today, as they only have one padded practice remaining until the end of the season.

Multiple individual drills involved ice water drills to ensure the players were prepared for the possible rain in Sunday’s forecast.
This included TE Jake Ferguson, who was working with Cowboys tight ends coach Lunda Wells, ensuring he’ll be prepared for Sunday’s conditions.
As of right now, the forecast is a high of 48 degrees and a low of 42 with 15-20 mph winds and a 50% chance of rain.
HC Mike McCarthy said his biggest concerns are the winds and rain conditions — not so much the colder temperatures.

S Malik Hooker
McCarthy said Malik Hooker would be limited today with an ankle injury.
It is unclear what happened to Hooker and how much this injury could impact his availability on Sunday, if at all. He did not participate in practice on Wednesday, but it was just a walkthrough.

RB Rico Dowdle
Dowdle continues to battle an ankle injury that he’s been nursing for the last few weeks. He was limited at practice on Wednesday, but it hasn’t impacted his playing time.
DT Johnathan Hankins
It is unlikely that Hankins will play on Sunday. He is dealing with a high ankle sprain that he suffered on Sunday against the Eagles, but he was also listed as having a knee injury on Wednesday’s injury report. There is still no timeline for his return.
