Kearse (hamstring) isn't traveling with the team and won't play Saturday at Philadelphia, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kearse was originally considered questionable for Saturday's contest but won't make the trip to Philadelphia. The 27-year-old will look to get healthy for the first round of the playoffs next weekend.

Kearse (hamstring) has been deemed questionable to play in Week 18 against the Eagles, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
The safety was able to practice in a limited capacity at all three of the Cowboys' practices this week, opening the door for him to play Saturday. Kearse has yet to miss a game this season while having a career year. He has 101 tackles, 10 pass deflections and two interceptions, all representing career-highs for the 27-year-old.

Kearse had nine tackles (five solo) and one pass breakup during Sunday's 30-16 loss to the Broncos.
EDGE Analysis
Kearse hasn't logged a single game with fewer than five tackles this season, making him a high-floor fantasy option in IDP formats. His nine-stop performance versus Denver was his second-highest total of the year. Next, Kearse will work to contain a Falcons team set to once again operate without Calvin Ridley (personal).

Kearse notched six tackles (five solo) during Sunday's win over the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
Kearse hasn't reached double-digit stops since Week 1, but he has combined for a total of 17 tackles in the Cowboys' last three games. As long as Donovan Wilson (groin) remains sidelined, Kearse will be in the mix as a potential IDP starter.

Kearse totaled five tackles (three solo) and one pass defensed during Monday's 41-21 win over the Eagles.
EDGE Analysis
Kearse has gotten off to a great start in his first year with Dallas. The 27-year-old safety has 21 tackles through the first three games of the season, which would put him on pace for a 100-tackle season. However, those numbers may be inflated by a double-digit tackle outing against a Buccaneers offense that threw 50-plus times in Week 1. Last year, Kearse played 11 games for the Lions and set a career-high with 59 tackles.

Kearse recorded 11 tackles (five solo) in a Week 1 loss to the Buccaneers.
EDGE Analysis
Donovan Wilson was expected to be the impact IDP option among the Cowboys' safeties, but instead it was Kearse who stepped up in his Dallas debut and tied for the team lead in tackles. The 27-year-old set a career high with 59 tackles in only 11 games for Detroit last year, so this performance may not as surprising as it seems, but it also came against a Tampa Bay offense that threw the ball 50 times. Kearse may not face another team again this season that gives him as many opportunities to make stops.

Kearse signed a one-year contract with the Cowboys on Wednesday, NFL reporter Josina Anderson reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kearse suited up in 11 games for the Lions last season with seven starts, and he finished with 503 snaps on defense -- easily a career high. In that time, he totaled 59 tackles, two pass breakups and a fumble recovery. The Cowboys' secondary struggled last season, so Kearse should be able to carve out a role, at least in nickel packages.

The Ravens signed Kearse (hip) to the practice squad Thursday, Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kearse was a starter with the Lions through 11 appearances this season, making him a tentative candidate to bump to Baltimore's active roster in the event of postseason action. The hip injury he dealt with toward the end of his tenure in Detroit isn't expected to be serious.

The Lions waived Kearse (hip) on Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kearse sat out this past Saturday's loss to the Buccaneers due to a hip injury, but he started the previous seven games, recording 48 tackles and two pass breakups. His hip injury isn't expected to be a major impediment moving forward, so the fifth-year safety could bolster a contender's secondary depth.

Kearse recorded six tackles (five solo) across 49 defensive snaps in Sunday's loss to the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
Kearse now has 34 tackles (24 solo) on the season, which is already higher than any of his season-totals in his first four seasons in Minnesota. He continues to see higher snap counts than Tracy Walker over the past few weeks, a trend that may continue for Thursday's Thanksgiving game against the Texans.
