Cowboys 55-man, Week 3 roster elevations vs Giants shows cornerback is dire issue

The Dallas Cowboys need a win in the worst way on Thursday night, and their secondary appears to be a mash unit entering the contest. Faced with taking on top rookie WR Malik Nabers, the Cowboys will more than likely be down Caelen Carson, who is a gametime decision with a bum shoulder. Carson was listed as doubtful on the final injury report for this week and on Thursday Dallas elevated a practice squad cornerback, just in case.

Amani Oruwariye will see his first game-day active status for the Dallas Cowboys as one of two elevations for Week 4’s contest against the New York Giants. DE Carl Lawson will be the other, bringing the Cowboys’ roster to 55 players temporarily. About an hour and a half before kickoff, the team will announce their seven inactives, a list likely to include both Carson and safety Markquese Bell, as well as QB Trey Lance who will be the emergency third quarterback. As for everyone else? Here’s a look at the full 55-man roster Mike McCarthy and his staff will choose from.
