The Dallas Cowboys will start their 2024 campaign on the road against the Cleveland Browns. Dallas is looking to get over that playoff hump and finally represent the NFC in the Super Bowl.
However, their start to the season could be undermanned in a surprising way.
Cowboys Announce Major Injury Upate Prior To Week 1 Vs. Browns
On Thursday, the Cowboys added an important player to their Injury report. Caelen Carson, a rookie cornerback, suffered a knee injury.
According to Charean Williams of Pro Football Talk:
An addition to the report after the first reporting day usually is an indication the player was injured at practice, but Carson had a full practice.
Aaron Kasinitz of lonestarlive.com reports that Carson was walking without a limp in the locker room after practice.
Coach Mike McCarthy will have a news conference Friday morning, and the team will release its status report later in the day.
The fifth-rounder is being counted on to start while Pro Bowl cornerback DaRon Bland is out following foot surgery. Andrew Booth and Israel Mukuamu, who have combined for five career starts, are options behind Carson.
