Cowboys Place DT Jordan Phillips on IR, Sign Carlos Watkins

Phillips will miss at least four games due to a wrist injury, prompting the Cowboys to bolster their defensive line by signing Watkins.

Jordan Phillips has been placed on injured reserve with a wrist injury, sidelining him for a minimum of four games.
Phillips' injury comes after a poor start to his tenure with the Cowboys, where he earned a low performance grade and recorded minimal stats.
To fill the gap left by Phillips, the Cowboys signed veteran defensive tackle Carlos Watkins from the Washington Commanders' practice squad.
Carlos Watkins previously played for the Cowboys in the 2021 and 2022 seasons and is expected to bring much-needed experience to the defensive line.
The Cowboys' defensive line has been plagued by injuries, including the recent loss of Sam Williams to a torn ACL and the waiving of Durrell Johnson.
