The Cowboys have had to adjust to injuries and roster poaches as they prepare to face the New York Jets in Week 5.
The Dallas Cowboys are ready to go to battle, preparing to face their fourth winless opponent of the 2025 season. Hopefully their Week 5 matchup against the New York Jets will go better than most of the others. Dallas lost on opening weekend to the Philadelphia Eagles, and Week 3 to the 0-2 Chicago Bears. They needed last-second field goals in regulation and overtime to take down the New York Giants in Week 2.
To do so, they'll need to scrape together some healthy bodies as they are dealing with quite a few injuries. However most of those injured players aren't being added to IR, indicating they may not be out for too long. Several of the players who have been on the bench since the beginning of the season are now eligible to return, as two players — CB Caelen Carson and WR Jonathan Mingo — have had their 21-day practice windows started.
In recent weeks, Dallas has had to deal with players from their practice squad being poached, as CB Zion Childress is now a member of the Houston Texans and LB Buddy Johnson is with the Indianapolis Colts. The club has added CB Corey Ballentine and WR Parris Campbell over the last 10 days to fill those voids.
Here's a look at the team's 53-man roster, 16-man practice squad , and IR group.
