Here's a breakdown of the key players and their recovery status:
These injuries significantly impact the Cowboys' cornerback depth. As a result, DaRon Bland is expected to be the top coverage option, and the team recently signed Christian Matthew to add depth. The team may also need to rely on other players like Kaiir Elam who has reportedly been performing well in camp, and may need to consider further additions to the position.

Recently, Dallas Cowboys Executive Vice President Stephen Jones addressed the status of Revel. He praised the young corner, while dishing out an honest assessment of where he's at with his knee recovery.
"We just think the world of him," Jones said on San Antonio's Sports Star. "We really think he's going to be a hell of a player in this league. But we're on that same thing (as Trevon Diggs) of when do we think we'll get him back."
There isn't a concrete timeline in place for Revel's return. It will reveal itself over time, depending on how Revel's knee reacts to an increased workload at training camp. Jones is confident that Revel could soon be back, but he places a one percent chance on himself being wrong.

"I'm 99 percent sure he'll be back in the next couple of weeks," Jones added, "but then he's a rookie, so it's going to take a minute for him to get used to it and what it's like to be a pro and those types of things."
- Trevon Diggs: Diggs is recovering from a cartilage issue in his knee that required season-ending surgery and started training camp on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list. He's reportedly ahead of schedule in his recovery and aiming for a September return.
- Shavon Revel Jr.: The rookie cornerback suffered a torn ACL in college and was placed on the non-football injury (NFI) list at the start of training camp. There was optimism about his return, but he has experienced a setback and is now expected to miss another 6-8 weeks, making him unlikely to be ready for the season opener.
- Josh Butler: Butler tore his ACL late in the 2024 season and is on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list.
- Caelen Carson: Carson suffered a hyperextended knee during training camp and is expected to miss 4-6 weeks.
