Bolsters Carolina's secondary
Woods signed a three-year deal with the Panthers on Monday, Josina Anderson of CBS Sports reports.
Analysis: Woods joins the third team of his professional career, having already spent four seasons in Dallas and his last in Minnesota. He's picked off multiple passes in three of his five seasons, and he now figures to immediately slot in at free safety in Carolina.

Picks off three passes in 2021
Woods tallied 108 tackles (72 solo), 10 pass deflections, three interceptions, two forced fumbles and one sack in 17 appearances during the 2021 campaign.
Analysis: Woods' finished his first season in Minnesota with career highs in tackles, pass deflections, interceptions and sacks. He signed a one-year contract with the Vikings before the 2021 season, but after his career year, he'll likely be in store for a bigger payday this offseason, so it remains to be seen if a reunion is possible.

Continues with every-down role
Woods notched eight tackles (three solo) during Sunday's divisional loss to the Lions.
Analysis: Woods hasn't yet missed a single defensive snap through 12 appearances this season. The veteran safety already has 74 total tackles on the season, so it's possible that he creeps over his career-high mark of 77 stops with a strong performance against the Steelers on Thursday.

Racks up eight stops
Woods had eight tackles (four solo) during Sunday's 19-17 win over the Lions.
Analysis: Woods has 18 total tackles over his last two appearances, and he hasn't left the field for a single defensive snap all season. The veteran safety doesn't necessarily possess big-play upside, but his floor for production provides some weekly IDP value.

Tallies 10 tackles
Woods recorded 10 tackles in Sunday's loss to the Browns.
Analysis: Woods tied for the team lead in tackles and did not leave the field for any defensive snaps. He has been very productive in coverage to start the season, logging three defended passes and an interception. Sunday's performance marked his highest tackle total in a contest on the campaign.

Snags interception against Arizona
Woods had four total tackles and an interception in Sunday's loss at Arizona.
Analysis: Woods had a strong game in coverage as he allowed just one reception on two targets for three yards, according to Pro Football Focus. It was just his fifth career interception. While he may not produce many interceptions or sacks for fantasy purposes, he's added a needed steady presence in the secondary.

Five tackles in Vikings debut
Woods had five total tackles and a pass defensed in Sunday's overtime loss at Cincinnati.
Analysis: Wood started at safety opposite Harrison Smith and played on all of the defense's 69 snaps. While he may not produce many interceptions or sacks for fantasy purposes, it looks like he'll add a needed steady presence in the secondary.

Returns from undisclosed injury
Woods had four tackles in Friday's preseason loss to Kansas City.
Analysis: Woods had missed the previous preseason game with an undisclosed injury, but he looks ready for Minnesota's Week 1 matchup against the Bengals. Woods will start at safety opposite Harrison Smith.

Sits out with minor injury
Woods did not play in Saturday's preseason loss to the Colts due to "a little nick," head coach Mike Zimmer told the
Analysis: It sounds like a minor injury, but it's worth monitoring Woods' health before the regular season. Woods will start at safety opposite Harrison Smith as part of a reconfigured Vikings secondary and add a needed veteran presence after the young unit struggled last year.

Set to join Minnesota
Woods signed a one-year, $2.25 million deal with the Vikings on Saturday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Woods figures to step right in as the starting safety opposite Harrison Smith as part of a reconfigured Vikings secondary. The fourth-year safety piled together 70-plus tackles for the Cowboys each of the last two seasons but was a net negative when it came to pass coverage. It's perhaps telling that despite having a need at both safety spots, the Cowboys opted to bring in two new starters for their defense while jettisoning the three-year starter without so much of an offer.

Inconsistent in 2020
Woods recorded 72 tackles (48 solo) with one pass defended in 15 games during 2020.
Analysis: He missed a game late in the season with a rib injury, but otherwise Woods held down a starting spot in a terrible Dallas defense. The fourth-year safety topped 70 tackles for the second straight season, but he got exposed in coverage and failed to record an interception after grabbing at least one in each of his first three seasons. Woods now is headed into free agency, and new defensive coordinator Dan Quinn likely will be more interested in finding an upgrade than in bringing him back.

Good to go for Week 17
Woods (ribs) is active for Sunday's game against the Giants, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: After being contained to limited participation during all three of the Cowboys' practice sessions this week, Woods has seemingly shown enough during pregame warmups to get the nod for his 15th appearance of the season. Having started all 14 times he's suited up so far, Woods enters the regular-season finale with 69 tackles. The 25-year-old has yet to collect his first interception of the year, after combining for five INTs between 2017 and 2019.

Questionable Week 17
Woods (ribs) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
Analysis: The 25-year-old was limited at practice this week with the rib injury, so he appears to have a solid chance of suiting up Sunday. Reggie Robinson is next in line to start at free safety if Woods is unavailable.

Limited Wednesday
Woods (ribs) was limited at Wednesday's practice, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Woods was sidelined in last week's game against the Eagles. His participation, albeit limited, at practice indicates he is trending in the right direction. However, Reggie Robinson would be in line to once again replace him at free safety should he end up having to sit out again.

Not expected to play Sunday
Woods (ribs) is unlikely to take the field for Sunday's matchup versus Philadelphia, Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
Analysis: Woods has yet to practice this week after suffering the rib injury in Sunday's win over San Francisco, leaving his status for the crucial upcoming matchup against the Eagles in serious doubt. With Woods likely out, expect either Reggie Robinson or Darian Thompson to start in his place.

Dealing with rib injury
Woods suffered a rib injury during Sunday's 41-33 win over the 49ers.
Analysis: Woods shook off a groin injury to play in Week 15, but a rib injury forced him out of the game, causing the fourth-year safety to miss his first defensive snaps of the season. If Woods is unable to play in Week 16 against the Eagles, either Reggie Robinson or Darian Thompson will start at free safety.

Sustains chest injury Sunday
Woods (chest) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the 49ers, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Analysis: After overcoming a groin issue to avoid his first 2020 game absence in Week 15, Woods has sustained an injury of another variety as Dallas finds itself protecting a narrow second-half lead. The Louisiana Tech standout has started 43 games since the beginning of 2018, but now fourth-round rookie Reggie Robinson may be relied on to hold down the free safety spot.

Ready to face 49ers
Woods (groin) is active for Sunday's game versus the 49ers, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Analysis: Woods will avoid missing his first game of the season. In fact, he's played every snap on defense in 2020, ringing up 67 tackles (44 solo) and a pass breakup in the process. Woods will start at free safety Sunday.

Uncertain for Week 15
Woods (groin) is questionable for Sunday's game versus the 49ers, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Woods was added to the injury report midweek, surfacing as a limited participant in Thursday's practice. The fourth-year safety hasn't missed a defensive snap all year, so he still stands a good chance to play Sunday. If he's held out, Darian Thompson and Reggie Robinson are both due to play more in Woods' stead.

Managing practice reps
Woods (groin) was a limited participant during Thursday's practice, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Woods was added to the injury report for the first time this week, as he was seen working off to the side during practice. Woods has yet to miss a game this season, so it's still too early to panic about his status for Sunday's game against the 49ers. If Woods were to miss Week 15, Reggie Robinson would be in line for the start at free safety for the contest.

Season high in tackles Thursday
Woods recorded a season-high 10 tackles (six solo) and a pass defended in Thursday's loss to Washington.
Analysis: The Cowboys' starting safeties, Woods and Donovan Wilson, ended up tying for the team lead in tackles -- a scathing indictment of the job the front seven did in containing Antonio Gibson and the Washington running game. Woods could supply strong IDP value again in Week 13's road tilt against another team with a ground-heavy game plan in the Ravens.

Nine tackles in Sunday's loss
Woods recorded nine tackles (six solo) in Sunday's loss to the Rams.
Analysis: Between an early exit for Leighton Vander Esch (collarbone) and a Sean McVay game plan that called for a lot of runs and quick passes to neutralize the Cowboys' pass rush, both the team's safeties were very busy -- Darian Thompson did Woods one better with 10 tackles. Woods could remain an IDP asset at least until Vander Esch returns to action, especially if other teams copy what the Rams did offensively in Week 1.

Ready to rock
Woods (ankle/groin) is not listed on Wednesday's injury report, Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
Analysis: Woods has missed a number of practice sessions since suffering ankle and groin injuries Aug. 28, but he's managed to return to full health to begin the regular season. He'll occupy his usual starting spot in Dallas' secondary against the Rams on Sunday night.

On track for Week 1
Woods (ankle/groin) is expected to be available Sunday against the Rams, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Analysis: Woods has been kept out of practice since Aug. 28 due to ankle and groin injuries, but the Cowboys have consistently expressed optimism about his chances of suiting up Week 1. If Woods is indeed able to go, his presence as a starting safety will provide Dallas' secondary with a notable boost against Los Angeles' dangerous aerial attack.

Still unable to practice
Cowboys COO Stephen Jones said Woods (ankle) has a good shot to play Sunday versus the Rams, Nick Eatman of the Cowboys' official site reports.
Analysis: Woods hasn't practiced since Aug. 28 when he exited that day's session early, but the team is optimistic he'll be ready for the season opener. The team's secondary is a bit banged up with cornerbacks Chidobe Awuzie (leg) and Jourdan Lewis (ankle) are both tending to injuries, so getting Woods back would be a major boost. Over 15 games last year, Woods produced 77 tackles, five pass breakups and two interceptions.

Nursing groin strain
Woods suffered a strained groin Sunday, Jane Slater of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Woods' injury appears minor, so at this point there's no reason to worry about his availability for Week 1. Assuming he's able to avoid any setbacks and indeed suit up Sept. 13 versus the Rams, Woods will draw his usual start at free safety.

Leaves scrimmage early
Woods exited Sunday's scrimmage early, David Helman of the Cowboys' official site reports.
Analysis: Woods walked to the locker room without the assistance of the training staff, which could be a good sign. The Cowboys will offer an update on Woods' health sometime after the conclusion of Sunday's scrimmage in the event that he's sustained any sort of injury.

Fades down stretch in 2019
Woods wrapped up the 2019 campaign with a career-high 77 tackles (52 solo), two interceptions on five passes defended, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery in 15 games.
Analysis: The third-year safety started the season off with a bang, racking up a season-high 11 tackles in Week 1 against the Giants, but he didn't make much impact down the stretch when the Cowboys needed him the most -- Woods topped three tackles only once in the final seven games. The 24-year-old has solidified one safety spot in the Cowboys' secondary, but he'll need to show more consistency in 2020 if he's going to emerge as an IDP asset.

Productive in MNF win
Woods recorded four tackles (three solo) one pass defensed, one interception and a forced fumble in Monday's 37-18 win over the Giants.
Analysis: Woods picked off the quarterback for a second consecutive game and he also added his second forced fumble of the season, while also bringing his season total to 44 tackles (32 solo).
