The Cowboys added Trevon Diggs to the injury report with a knee issue, listing him as questionable for Week 3 against the Bears after he played more snaps than expected in the overtime win over the Giants. DaRon Bland’s foot injury compounds the cornerback depth problem, making a healthy Diggs even more critical. To shore things up, Dallas elevated Zion Childress and Robert Rochell from the practice squad, signaling a potential uptick in defensive snaps for Week 3.

Dallas held shells and walkthroughs as they prepare, underscoring caution with Diggs and Bland. The looming question is how the CB rotation will shake out if Diggs sits or is limited, especially with the Bears looming and fantasy implications for any Cowboys cornerback lineup changes.

DaRon Bland's stint on the shelf tests Dallas's secondary, coming as Week 2 pits the Cowboys against Malik Nabers. Week 1’s shutdown of A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith showed the unit's ceiling, but depth is now under the microscope. Dallas elevates Zion Childress and Robert Rochell and brings Ryan Flournoy back, signaling a rotation-heavy approach. Expect Nabers to draw a primary ghost of targets, while the revamped depth will shape DFS and fantasy lineups.

Dallas signs Ryan Flournoy to the 53-man roster, restoring a familiar WR depth option after a brief waiver and practice-squad spell. With Perrion Winfrey landing on IR, the roster move locks in an experienced pass-catcher for Week 2 and beyond.

In the secondary, Zion Childress and Robert Rochell are elevated from the practice squad as DaRon Bland nurses a foot injury, boosting corner depth for a Giants test and a high-powered Eagles offense in the home opener.

These shuffles underscore Dallas’ emphasis on versatile depth across offense and defense while navigating injuries and a demanding early schedule.

A Cowboys preseason snapshot centers on a rested offensive line with Tyler Booker sidelined and others limited, underscoring Dallas’ push for depth. Coach Brian Schottenheimer mixed first-team looks with competition at guard, while Booker regains first-team snaps after a brief shuffle. Micah Parsons attended but stayed off the field, highlighting the hold-in in contract talks and ongoing rehab. On the Rams’ side, Stetson Bennett IV connected with Xavier Smith as Blake Corum punched in the opening score, and Xavier Smith flashed behind Dallas corners while Andrew Booth made a notable stop. The night also featured hamstring concerns for Robert Rochell and a quick return for Payton Turner, testing the Rams’ and Cowboys’ early depth rotations.
