Mingo’s role remains a canvas for the Cowboys’ wideouts, with a path to more snaps as Holden and Croper push to leapfrog into the 53-man mix. His two-catch, 42-yard Rams showcase hints at potential, depending on scheme fit and opportunity in Baltimore’s test.

Mingo, a 24-year-old Ole Miss product, joined Dallas midseason from Carolina and flashed big-play potential with a 49-yard preseason grab from Joe Milton. His sprained PCL threatens to open a sizable depth gap in DAL’s WR corps, potentially elevating Lamb, Pickens, Tolbert, or Turpin as Week 1 targets while Milton navigates a reshuffled pass-catching landscape. His absence could shift early-season target dynamics and add pressure on the depth pieces to prove steady contributions.

Mingo exited Saturday's game with a right knee issue after a leaping attempt; Cowboys plan additional tests but expect the injury to be minor. His performance earlier—a 49-yard gain on a crucial third down—demonstrated his downfield potential and the role Dallas envisions for him behind Lamb, Pickens, and Turpin. The outcome of the tests will determine the immediacy of altering the WR depth chart for Week 1.

Jonathan Mingo injury update centers the Cowboys' early-week risk assessment at wide receiver. MRI results will determine whether he can ramp up quickly or miss time, potentially shifting targets toward Lamb and emerging depth behind him. His status is pivotal for week-by-week fantasy planning as Dallas tightens its WR rotation.

Mingo's right knee injury from the Ravens game is feared to be a PCL issue, with an MRI planned to determine severity and possible time out. He was emerging in Dallas after last season's trade deadline move and was in a fight for a roster spot; an injury could shift depth charts and roster strategy prior to the season.
