Carson remains on the reserve/designated for return list, keeping his Week 5 status uncertain as he works through an injury return process.

Carson, who suffered a hyperextended knee during July training camp, has the 21-day practice window opened, signaling a measured path to potential activation for Dallas’ secondary depth.

Carson says his knee feels ready; waiting for team green light to start practicing and rejoin the active group within the 21‐day window.

Carson adds rookie depth to Dallas’s CB corps. His development could clarify late-season depth charts and practice squad elevations, with minimal immediate fantasy relevance but potential for future upside.

Carson’s knee injury lands him on IR/return, delaying his Cowboys debut and opening a roster slot for other depth options.
