Cowboys' Donovan Wilson: Will play Sunday
Wilson (elbow) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Panthers, Clarence Hill Jr. of AllDLLS.com reports.
Wilson opened the week with a DNP due to an elbow injury he likely picked up during the Cowboys' Week 5 win over the Jets. He ended the week with an LP-FP practice log and has been cleared to play in Sunday's road game. Wilson has 29 tackles (15 solo) and two pass defenses (including one interception) through the first five games of the regular season.

Wilson (elbow) was a limited participant at practice Thursday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Cowboys' Donovan Wilson: Managing elbow injury
Wilson did not practice Wednesday due to an elbow injury, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
Wilson was on the field for 77 of 82 defensive snaps (93.9 percent) during the Cowboys' Week 5 win over the Jets, finishing with eight tackles (three solo). The 2019 sixth-rounder appears to have sustained an elbow injury in the process, and he'll have to practice in at least a limited capacity over the next two days in order to have a chance at playing against the Panthers on Sunday. Juanyeh Thomas is working through an ankle injury, so Alijah Clark and Markquese Bell could see increased snaps at safety if Wilson or Thomas are unable to play against Carolina.

Cowboys' Donovan Wilson: Leading tackler in loss

The veteran safety tied linebacker Jack Sanborn for the team lead in tackles in a blowout loss.

Cowboys' Donovan Wilson: Comes up big in OT win
Wilson recorded six tackles and an interception in Sunday's 40-37 overtime win over the Giants.

Cowboys' Donovan Wilson: Minimal production against Eagles
Wilson recorded one tackle in Thursday's 24-20 loss to the Eagles.
It was an uninspiring line for Wilson, but he was on the field for 100 percent of Dallas' defensive snaps, so his role doesn't appear to be in danger. After topping 80 stops in each of the last two seasons, he should be in line to be more involved in future contests.
