Nahshon Wright is creeping ever closer to making his 2023 debut.
The Cowboys cornerback was designated to return from injured reserve on Thursday, allowing him to practice for the first time since suffering a high ankle sprain in the team’s Aug. 12 preseason game versus Jacksonville.
Dallas now has 21 days to evaluate the the 2021 third-round draft pick and either sign him to the active roster or place him on season-ending IR.

Apart from the depth he provides at the cornerback position, Wright’s return could be a tremendous help to Dallas’s special teams squad, which saw standouts C.J. Goodwin and KaVontae Turpin hurt in Week 5’s loss to the 49ers.
Wright played on over a quarter of the Cowboys’ total special teams snaps in 2022.
