A former Carolina Panthers wideout is about to hit the reset button on his NFL career.
Jonathan Mingo, now a member of the Dallas Cowboys, is expected to make his team debut this Monday night against the Houston Texans. Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy confirmed the news about the second-year receiver on Thursday afternoon.

The Panthers selected Mingo with the 39th overall pick of the 2023 NFL draft. He’d go on to appear in 24 games with Carolina, amassing just 539 yards and no touchdowns on 55 receptions.
Mingo was traded to Dallas last Tuesday, just a few hours before the league trade deadline.
Panthers president of football operations and general manager Dan Morgan explained the deal a day later.
“Great player, still a developing player,” Morgan said of Mingo. “Thought it was a good deal between us and Dallas. They get a young player that they can grow and develop and we get a draft pick we’re happy with. So, I think it was a win-win for both sides.”
Morgan and the Panthers received a 2025 fourth-round pick for Mingo and a 2025 seventh-round pick.
