Cowboys Schedule MRI to Assess Jonathan Mingo’s Knee After Preseason Injury

MRI results will complete the picture for Dallas’s 53-man roster planning, injured reserve strategy, depth receiver assignments.

Overview

  • Jonathan Mingo landed awkwardly after a 49-yard reception late in Saturday’s preseason game against the Baltimore Ravens and was immediately ruled out with a suspected right-knee PCL injury.
  • An MRI set for Sunday in Arlington will determine the severity of Mingo’s injury and outline his potential recovery timeline.
  • If the injury requires multiple weeks to heal, Dallas must carry Mingo on its initial 53-man roster before moving him to injured reserve to preserve his return eligibility.
  • Acquired last November from the Carolina Panthers, Mingo caught five passes for 46 yards in eight games but had impressed coaches in Oxnard with potential as a No. 4 or No. 5 receiver and special-teams contributor.
  • Depth receivers Jalen Tolbert, Jalen Brooks and Ryan Flournoy stand to benefit from Mingo’s uncertain availability as they compete for roster spots.
