Overview

  • Cowboys fear Mingo suffered a PCL injury in his right knee after landing awkwardly following a 49-yard catch during Saturday’s preseason loss to the Ravens.
  • He underwent an MRI on Sunday; the team is awaiting findings to assess the injury’s severity and projected recovery time.
  • Mingo’s availability will directly impact Dallas’ final 53-man roster decisions, including the option to place him on injured reserve to preserve his return eligibility.
  • Head coach Brian Schottenheimer gave a cautiously optimistic update, saying he does not expect the injury to be “terribly serious” pending further tests.
  • Mingo was competing for a depth role with special-teams responsibilities behind CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens and Jalen Tolbert, making his health vital to the receiving-room rotation.
