Overview

  • The Cowboys fear that wide receiver Jonathan Mingo injured the PCL in his right knee after awkwardly landing one play following a 49-yard catch in Saturday’s preseason game against the Ravens.
  • Mingo is set for an MRI on Sunday to determine if the ligament is torn and establish a recovery timeline.
  • A potential multi-week rehab would force Dallas to choose between carrying him on the opening 53-man roster or placing him on injured reserve to preserve his eligibility to return.
  • Mingo had emerged as a possible No. 4 or No. 5 receiver and a special-teams contributor thanks to a productive offseason in Oxnard.
  • Should Mingo miss time, receivers Jalen Tolbert, Jalen Brooks and rookie Ryan Flournoy could see increased opportunities for roster spots.
