"The secondary has dealt with its fair share of injuries this season with Caelen Carson now banged up again, DaRon Bland suffering a foot injury on Thursday against the Chiefs, Shavon Revel Jr. missing some snaps due to an issue with his left knee. The Cowboys had DaRon Bland, Reddy Steward, and Shavon Revel Jr. on the field for most of the game against the Chiefs, but the lack of depth behind the starting three is pretty concerning."
"After releasing Kaiir Elam earlier in the week to add Malik Davis to the 53-man roster, the cornerback room is rather young and lacks experience. Behind Bland, Revel, and Steward, Trikweze Bridges and Corey Ballentine are the last cornerbacks on the active roster. As bad as the relationship seems between Diggs and the Cowboys, there is no denying that Diggs can help the Cowboys win this season more than Bridges and/or Ballentine."
"Along with Diggs, Josh Butler has been on the PUP list since the start of the season - recovering from a torn ACL suffered last season. Butler was playing well in 2024 for Mike Zimmer's defense before suffering the injury, and according to his most recent social media post he is pushing to get back on the field sooner rather than later."
The Cowboys secondary has been hit by multiple injuries to Caelen Carson, DaRon Bland, and Shavon Revel Jr., creating immediate depth concerns. DaRon Bland suffered a foot injury and Revel missed snaps with a left-knee issue. The team released Kaiir Elam to add Malik Davis, leaving a young, inexperienced cornerback room behind starters Bland, Revel, and Reddy Steward. Trikweze Bridges and Corey Ballentine remain as the only other active cornerbacks. Trevon Diggs, if healthy, would provide a significantly stronger option than those backups. Josh Butler remains on the PUP list recovering from a torn ACL and is pushing to return.
