Cowboys depth at cornerback is under scrutiny as Trevon Diggs and Shavon Revel rehab from knee surgeries, leaving Kaiir Elam and DaRon Bland as the edge corners with a crowded battle for the slot. Competition behind them includes Kemon Hall, Israel Mukuamu and Zion Childress, with Andrew Booth’s roster status uncertain amid a lingering knee issue for Caelen Carson and Josh Butler on the PUP list. Diggs’ return target is mid-September, Revel could move to PUP to start the season, and the preseason opener highlighted promising plays from Booth, Mukuamu and Booth’s tight coverage. Dallas is balancing return timelines with flexible coverage, aiming to stabilize the group quickly once Diggs is back.

Depth behind Diggs remains unsettled, forcing constant reorganization and daily competition. Eliable reps are being distributed to evaluate who can handle outside, nickel and slot duties, while the staff weighs which combinations maximize both pass defense and run support. The Cowboys will lean on competition and health updates to finalize the roster and roles as Diggs nears a return and Revel’s status becomes clearer.
