Cowboys' Donovan Wilson: Another pick in Sunday's loss
Rotowire
Wilson recorded six tackles (five solo) and an interception in Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Panthers.
The pick was Wilson's second in the last five games, a stretch in which he's made a splash in IDP formats with 34 tackles as well. With the Dallas defense flailing this season and unable to get off the field most of the time, there should be plenty of opportunities for the veteran safety to continue piling up stats.

Cowboys' Shemar James: Reaches double-digit tackles again
Rotowire
James recorded a team-high 11 tackles (six solo) in Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Panthers.
The rookie linebacker has broken out for 26 tackles over the last two games, taking advantage of the absence of Jack Sanborn (concussion). Even when Sanborn is cleared to return, it's hard to imagine a struggling Cowboys defense returning James to the bench when he's been one of the few impact players on the unit the last two weeks.

Cowboys' Caelen Carson: Making progress with knee injury
Rotowire
Carson (knee) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
Carson opened the season on injured reserve after hyperextending his knee in late July during training camp. His 21-day practice window to be reinstated from IR opened Oct. 1, but he wasn't cleared to play against the Jets in Week 5 after being limited in practice all week. His ability to practice in full Wednesday is a step in the right direction for Carson, who could make his 2025 regular-season debut against the Panthers on Sunday if he continues to practice without limitations.
