Dallas adds Michael Ojemudia to strengthen the cornerback group as camp injuries thin the depth chart. With Trevon Diggs and Shavon Revel sidelined by knee issues, Dallas needs reliable veteran cover and a contributor on special teams, making Ojemudia a plausible Week 1 option. The Broncos’ 2020 third-round pick has bounced between NFL stints and a recent UFL run with DC Defenders, bringing a blend of man-press ability and run support that could help Dallas in multiple alignments. This move signals a push to maximize nickel packages and keep the outside corners fresh early in the season against Philadelphia.
Dallas has leaned into competition at slot and depth roles, with Kaiir Elam and DaRon Blandlock stepping into bigger responsibilities, and ISRAEL Mukuamu and Kemon Hall in reserve mix. Adding Ojemudia gives the Cowboys flexibility to rotate between outside and inside roles, potentially easing the burden on Andrew Booth as he pushes for a 53-man roster. For fantasy observers, the development adds a wrinkle to the Cowboys’ pass defense and could widen opportunity for a few sleepers in the secondary depending on the week-to-week rotation and health status of Diggs and Revel.
