Cowboys DL Perrion Winfrey designated to return from IR

The defensive tackle play from the Dallas Cowboys in 2025 has been less than ideal. With veterans Osa Odighizuwa and Kenny Clark really struggling the last few weeks, the Cowboys have tried mixing up snaps from Mazi Smith, Jay Toia, and Solomon Thomas to look for a jolt in production. With little success, the Cowboys may turn to an offseason hero in Perrion Winfrey, who the Dallas Cowboys designated to return off of IR.

Winfrey, 25, has yet to play this season for the Cowboys due to a back injury he suffered leading up to the Cowboys week one game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Winfrey was placed on IR before week one and has been flying under the radar since.

With struggles all over the defense for the Cowboys, Winfrey could be viewed as one of the reinforcements coming back in the next few weeks for a struggling defensive tackle room in the Matt Eberflus defense. Winfrey flashed all offseason in preseason and training camp action, and should provide quality depth along the interior when he works back into shape, something the Cowboys have lacked through eight weeks.
