Overview

  • Revel tore his ACL in a September 2024 practice at East Carolina and underwent surgery less than a month later by Cowboys team physician Dr. Dan Cooper.
  • He opened training camp on the Cowboys’ non-football injury list in Oxnard and has experienced recent discomfort during rehab sessions.
  • Revel’s father told 105.3 The Fan that his recovery will require another six to eight weeks, a timeline that rules him out for Week 1.
  • An anonymous team source confirmed he will not be ready for the season opener, reflecting Dallas’s priority of full-strength comebacks over rushed returns.
  • Dallas selected Revel in the third round in April despite viewing him as a first-round talent, signaling confidence in his long-term potential.
