Blogging The Boys
After a late-night shootout that resulted in an anticlimactic tie, the Dallas Cowboys are hoping to get a win as they travel on the road to face the New York Jets and hopefully draw to .500. For Dallas, it appears that help is on the way, and it couldn’t come at a better time. Caelen Carson and Jonathan Mingo returned to practice after sustaining respective knee injuries earlier in the offseason. The team has opened their 21-day practice window, but they have a way to go before returning to full team activities.
In the full report, CeeDee Lamb was also on the practice field in rehab work, a sign of his improvement, but officially not participating in the team drills, hence a DNP designation. Malik Hooker (toe) did not practice today, and the injury he sustained could sideline him for some time. Tyler Guyton did not practice either; he is in the league’s concussion protocol. Kavontae Turpin did not practice today with a foot injury that occurred during last week’s game against the Green Bay Packers. He, too, could miss some time. Miles Sanders (knee/ankle) also did not practice today along with Tyler Booker who sat out with an ankle injury. Tyler Smith also sat out with a knee issue, but it is unclear how serious that is right now.
As for the Jets, backup running back Braelon Allen (knee) did not practice on Wednesday. Allen suffered a knee injury on Monday versus the Miami Dolphins, and playing this week seems unlikely. Edge rusher Jermaine Johnson II (ankle) was also cited as DNP today, and cornerback Michael Carter II (concussion) was also cited as a non-participant.
