Back at practice Thursday
Thu, Aug 13, 2026, 6:26 PM
Moore (groin) was an active participant at the Cowboys' training camp practice Thursday, Tommy Yarrish of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Moore was sidelined with a groin injury throughout the past week, but he was able to work back into practice Thursday. The cornerback was selected in the fourth round of this year's draft, and he now appears likely to make his debut with Dallas on Saturday against the Seahawks in the team's preseason opener. |

Marquez Valdes-Scantling Marquez Valdes-Scantling Getting MRI on injured knee
Thu, Aug 13, 2026, 1:41 PM
Valdes-Scantling (knee) will be sent for an MRI to evaluate his injury, head coach Brian Schottenheimer said Thursday, Patrik Walker of the Cowboys' official site reports.
Analysis: Valdes-Scantling suffered an injury at practice Saturday, which has now been revealed to be a knee injury. A return timetable won't be established until the results of the MRI are know, but the veteran wide receiver almost certainly won't suit up for the Cowboys' preseason opener against the Seahawks on Saturday. |

Phil Mafah Phil Mafah Battling for RB2 spot in preseason
Thu, Aug 13, 2026, 1:36 PM
Head coach Brian Schottenheimer said Thursday that Mafah and Jaydon Blue will both "get a ton of work" during the preseason and that they are "in a heated battle" for the top backup spot behind Javonte Williams, Patrik Walker of the Cowboys' official site reports.
Analysis: Blue was listed ahead of Mafah on the team's initial depth chart, but both second-year pros will have a chance to make their respective cases for the backup role during the preseason. Williams is locked in atop the depth chart after rushing for 1,201 yards and 11 touchdowns in 16 regular-season games during the 2025 campaign, while both Blue and Mafah appear to have leapfrogged Malik Davis in the pecking order at running back. |

Jaydon Blue Jaydon Blue Will get ample work in preseason
Thu, Aug 13, 2026, 1:21 PM
Head coach Brian Schottenheimer said Thursday that Blue and Phil Mafah will both "get a ton of work" during the preseason, Patrik Walker of the Cowboys' official site reports.
Analysis: Blue and Mafah are "in a heated battle" for the top backup spot behind Javonte Williams, per Schottenheimer. Dallas' initial depth chart lists Blue second behind Williams, ahead of Mafah and Malik Davis. Blue was a fifth-round pick of the Cowboys in 2025, going two rounds ahead of Mafah. The Cowboys will kick off preseason play Saturday in Seattle. |

George Pickens George Pickens Dominant at training camp
Wed, Aug 12, 2026, 10:02 PM
Pickens has impressed throughout the Cowboys' training camp, Dan Rogers of SB Nation reports.
Analysis: Pickens had a spectacular season in 2025, reeling in 93 catches for 1,429 yards and nine touchdowns, all of which were career highs, over 17 regular-season contests in his first year with Dallas. The wide receiver did tail off as the season came to a close though, averaging 57.4 receiving yards and 4.0 catches over the team's final five games after averaging 95.2 yards and 6.1 receptions over the team's previous 12 contests. Pickens will look to put together a more complete campaign this year, and he has already been connecting on all cylinders with quarterback Dak Prescott, using his advanced ball-tracking ability to make acrobatic plays throughout training camp. The Cowboys have as good of a receiving duo as any team in the league, as the talented Pickens will be paired with No. 1 option CeeDee Lamb again in 2026. |

Jaydon Blue Jaydon Blue Listed second behind Williams on unofficial depth chart
Wed, Aug 12, 2026, 4:03 PM
Blue is listed as the No. 2 RB behind Javonte Williams on the Cowboys' unofficial depth chart ahead of the team's preseason opener, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Analysis: Per Watkins, both Blue and Phil Mafah -- who is listed third by the team -- have looked good at training camp thus far, while Malik Davis slots in behind the aforementioned top three. While noting the unofficial nature of the team's current backfield listing, Blue is still a player to monitor on the fantasy radar should he indeed head into the regular season as Williams' top understudy. |

CeeDee Lamb CeeDee Lamb Connecting with Prescott at camp
Wed, Aug 12, 2026, 1:59 PM
Lamb recently told reporters that he and QB Dak Prescott are "hitting on all cylinders" at training camp, Tommy Yarish of DallasCowboys.com reports.
Analysis: Lamb said his goals for 2026 are to win, stay healthy and dominate. "Whatever the numbers look like, that's cool," he said. Lamb's fantasy production was disappointing last year, but only due to a lack of touchdowns (three) and a prolonged stretch of missed time (three full games, plus nearly all of another). He finished with career highs for yards per catch (14.4) and aDOT (11.8) while posting his second-best mark for yards per route run (2.27). Lamb was efficient pretty much everywhere besides the red zone, where his 17 targets (t-8th among WRs) yielded eight catches for 57 yards and two TDs. He's been healthy throughout the offseason and training camp, with no reports of any missed time or limitations. |

Javonte Williams Javonte Williams Expects offense to take step up
Tue, Aug 11, 2026, 9:24 PM
Williams feels like the Cowboys' offense has hit the ground running ahead of the 2026 campaign, Tommy Yarrish of the team's official website reports.
Analysis: Williams is coming off of a career year in 2025, notching 1,201 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns on 252 carries, all of which were career highs, over 16 regular-season contests in his first season with Dallas. As a result of his production, the running back was rewarded with a fresh three-year, $24 million contract in February. The Cowboys ranked second in the NFL in total offense last season, averaging 391.9 yards per game, and Williams feels like the offense is picking up where they left off ahead of the 2026 campaign. "I feel like we hit the ground running. We didn't really start from the ground up, we just kind of built on what we could've done better last year. I feel like we're executing and communicating well," said Williams. If Dallas does find a way to be even better on offense in 2026, Williams would likely be a major part of it as the team's undisputed No. 1 option in the backfield. |

Signed to three-year extension
Mon, Aug 10, 2026, 3:52 PM
The Cowboys signed Williams to a three-year, $105.9 million contract extension Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: According to Rapoport, the totality of Williams' deal is five years and $153.15 million with $101 million guaranteed. Dallas acquired Williams from the Jets ahead of the trade deadline last season, sending Mazi Smith, a 2026 second-round pick and a 2027 first-rounder to New York. In seven regular-season games with the Cowboys, Williams logged 21 tackles (nine solo), including 1.5 sacks, and an interception. He's expected to anchor the middle of the defensive line for the next several seasons. |

Remains with rehab group
Sun, Aug 9, 2026, 2:52 PM
Bullard (hamstring) worked with the rehab group Sunday, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
Analysis: Bullard has been working with the rehab group since developing hamstring soreness last Tuesday. The team does not seem to view the injury as a large concern and is letting the defensive end take his time to work through the issue. Bullard's absence has allowed other depth members of the Cowboys' defensive line to see increased reps, such as Tommy Dunn and Kelvin Gilliam. |

Marquez Valdes-Scantling Marquez Valdes-Scantling Absent from Sunday's practice
Sun, Aug 9, 2026, 2:41 PM
Valdes-Scantling (undisclosed) did not participate in Sunday's practice, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Analysis: Valdes-Scantling was working off to the side individually Sunday after suffering an injury in Saturday's session. The wide receiver should be back to full practice shortly. The 31-year-old veteran seems set to be a depth receiver for the Cowboys as the team rolls out CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens, Ryan Flournoy and KaVontae Turpin as the starting four options. |

Back at practice Saturday
Sat, Aug 8, 2026, 4:29 PM
Thompson (hip) was cleared to participate in Saturday's training camp practice, Tommy Yarrish of the Cowboys' official site reports.
Analysis: Thompson sat out of practice this past week while recovering from a hip injury, but he was given the green light to return for Saturday's practice. He was a fifth-round selection of the Cardinals in the 2019 NFL Draft and spent the first seven seasons of his NFL career with Arizona before signing a three-year deal with the Cowboys in March. Thompson figures to start alongside Malik Hooker at safety this season, with P.J. Locke (knee) and Markquese Bell providing depth at the position. |

Jashaun Corbin Jashaun Corbin Catches on with Dallas
Fri, Aug 7, 2026, 7:45 PM
The Cowboys signed Corbin to a contract Friday.
Analysis: Corbin will join the Cowboys' 90-man roster for training camp and will have the opportunity to compete for a spot on the 53-man roster for the 2026 regular season. He last saw regular-season action in 2023 with the Giants and spent a good portion of last season on the Patriots' practice squad. The move corresponds with the Cowboys waiving fellow running back Dominic Richardson. |

Injury not considered serious
Fri, Aug 7, 2026, 7:35 PM
Barham's groin injury that he sustained during Thursday's training camp practice is not considered to be a long-term concern, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Analysis: Barham went to the Cowboys' team facilities after injuring his groin during Thursday's practice. The good news for the rookie third-rounder is that he seemingly avoided a serious injury, but it's unclear whether the issue will impact his availability for Dallas' preseason opener against Seattle on Saturday, Aug. 15. Barham figures to see most of his playing time on special teams in his rookie season while serving in a rotational role at linebacker behind DeMarvion Overshown (lower body) and Dee Winters. |

Princeton Fant Princeton Fant Moved to IR
Thu, Aug 6, 2026, 7:05 PM
The Cowboys placed Fant (knee) on injured reserve Thursday.
Analysis: Fant suffered a torn ACL and sprained MCL injury, decimating any chance for the tight end to participate in the 2026 season. He is scheduled to have surgery for the issues within the next several days. The fourth-year player out of Tennessee has played in 11 career games and will be a free agent once again in 2027. In a corresponding move, the Cowboys claimed tight end Zack Kuntz off waivers from the Raiders. |

Zack Kuntz Zack Kuntz Claimed by Cowboys
Thu, Aug 6, 2026, 6:54 PM
Dallas claimed Kuntz off waivers Thursday.
Analysis: Kuntz was bound to become a free agent after Las Vegas waived him Wednesday, but the Cowboys stepped in before that could come to pass. In a corresponding transaction, Dallas placed tight end Princeton Fant (knee) on its injured reserve list. |

Left practice early
Thu, Aug 6, 2026, 6:27 PM
Barham (groin) exited Thursday's training camp session early due to injury, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Barham was sent to the locker room after a trip to the medical tent. The third-round rookie out of Michigan suffered a groin injury during the training session. It is unclear how long the linebacker will be out, but any period of time benefits fellow depth option Shemar James, who may see more first-team reps as DeMarvion Overshown (lower body) incrementally works his way back to full practice. |

Mixing into team drills
Thu, Aug 6, 2026, 6:24 PM
Overshown (lower body) was a limited participant during the Cowboys' training camp practice Thursday, Tommy Yarrish of the Cowboys' official site reports.
Analysis: Overshown's injuries aren't believed to be a major issue, and he's evidently taking steps towards getting back up to full speed. He missed the first nine games of the 2025 season recovering from a torn ACL he suffered in December of 2024, but barring any setbacks, there appears to be a good chance he'll be ready to go for Week 1 of the 2026 campaign. |

Dealing with groin issue
Thu, Aug 6, 2026, 6:19 PM
Moore (groin) did not participate during the Cowboys' training camp practice Thursday, Tommy Yarrish of the Cowboys' official site reports.
Analysis: It's not clear when Moore picked up the injury, and there's no timeline for his return at this point. Until he's back to full strength, Josh Butler and 2024 fifth-rounder Caelen Carson are candidates to see an increase in reps on the boundary at practice. |
