Cowboys' DaRon Bland: Leads team in tackles Monday
Rotowire
Bland logged 14 tackles (six solo) in Dallas' loss to the Cardinals on Monday.
Bland's 14 tackles were not only the most on the team but also served as a new season-high total for the 26-year-old. He will look to build on this strong performance and keep producing during Dallas' Week 11 matchup versus the Raiders following the team's upcoming bye.

Cowboys' Shavon Revel: On track for Week 11 return
Rotowire
Head coach Brian Schottenheimer told reporters Tuesday that Revel (knee) is "trending" toward making his 2025 debut in the Cowboys' Week 11 road tilt against the Raiders on Monday, Nov. 17, Joe Hoyt of The Dallas Morning News reports.
The rookie third-rounder is inching closer to making his NFL debut. Revel started the regular season on the reserve/non-football injured list while recovering from a torn ACL that he sustained during his final collegiate season at East Carolina in September of 2024. Revel was limited in practice during Week 9 prep, and with the Cowboys on the bye Week 10, he'll have additional time to progress in his recovery and be available for Week 11 in Las Vegas.
Head coach Brian Schottenheimer said Tuesday that Overshown (knee) is "trending" toward being activated from injured reserve ahead of the Cowboys' Week 11 clash against the Raiders on Monday, Nov. 17, Joe Hoyt of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Overshown is in the final stages of his rehab from a torn ACL, MCL and PCL that he suffered in December. His 21-day practice window opened Oct. 22, and while he wasn't ready to return for Weeks 8 and 9, the expectation is that he'll be available to make his 2025 debut in Week 11. Overshown's return would bolster a Cowboys linebacker corps that will be without Jack Sanborn (groin) for at least four games after the latter was placed on injured reserve Monday.

Jets' Mazi Smith: Gets moved to Jets
Rotowire
The Cowboys traded Smith, a 2026 second-round pick and a 2027 first-round pick to the Jets for DT Quinnen Williams on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
A 2023 first-round pick, Smith wasn't able to live up to the billing, finishing his two-plus-year tenure in Dallas with 57 tackles, including 2.0 sacks, in 39 regular-season games. He'll join a rotation at defensive tackle in New York that includes Harrison Phillips, Jay Tufele (knee) and Jowon Briggs.

Cowboys' Quinnen Williams: Sent packing to Dallas
Rotowire
The Cowboys acquired Williams from the Jets on Tuesday in exchange for defensive tackle Mazi Smith, a 2026 second-round draft pick and a 2027 first-round draft pick, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
After moving two-time All-Pro cornerback Sauce Gardner (concussion) to the Colts earlier Tuesday, the Jets shipped out another longtime anchor of their defense in Williams, a three-time Pro Bowl selection. Williams has seen his production slip a bit since registering a career-high 12.0 sacks in 2022, but the 27-year-old still profiles as a difference maker along the defensive line. In Dallas, he'll team up with Kenny Clark at defensive tackle to bolster the Cowboys' pass rush and run defense.

Cowboys' Logan Wilson: Headed to Dallas
Rotowire
The Cowboys acquired Wilson (calf) from the Bengals on Tuesday in exchange for a 2026 seventh-round draft pick, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Wilson, who requested to be dealt last month after his snaps had decreased, is thus in line to move from one struggling defense to another. Once he moves past the calf issue that sidelined him in Week 9, the 29-year-old will provided a needed boost to the Cowboys linebacker corps. Wilson will be under contract through 2027 after signing a four-year, $36 million extension with the Bengals in July 2023. In eight games with the Bengals this season, Wilson has recorded 46 tackles, and he notched at least 100 stops in each of the previous four campaigns. With Dallas on bye in Week 10, Wilson will have added time to recover from his injury, as well as acclimate himself to his new team's defensive system.
Thomas is questionable to return to Monday's clash against the Cardinals due to a calf issue.
Thomas was deemed questionable to return with less than six minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, so there's not much time for him to get back on the field. He logged one tackle prior to his exit.

Cowboys' Juanyeh Thomas: Cleared for Week 9
Rotowire
Thomas (migraine) is active for Monday's game against the Cardinals.
Thomas has missed each of the Cowboys' last two games with a migraine, but he'll be ready to face Arizona on Monday Night Football. He should serve as the starting free safety and be in a good position to post solid IDP stats.

The Wisconsin product appeared in six games prior to injury, recording 34 total tackles and one pass defended. Expect Shemar James to operate as the Cowboys' top middle linebacker while Sanborn is sidelined.

Cowboys' Alijah Clark: Ruled out for Week 9
Rotowire
Clark (ribs) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game against the Cardinals, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
Clark did not log a practice this week due to the rib injury he suffered in last Sunday's 44-24 loss against the Broncos. The Cowboys' safety carousel will continue this week, with a number of other defensive backs potentially filling the role. Markquese Bell, C.J. Goodwin, Trikweze Bridges or Kaiir Elam all have a shot to be the third starting strong safety in as many weeks for the Cowboys defense.

Cowboys' DeMarvion Overshown: On track to return Week 11
Rotowire
Overshown (knee/thumb) is expected to be activated off the Cowboys' reserve/PUP list ahead of their Week 11 game against the Raiders on Monday, Nov. 17, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
In addition to his knee injury, Machota relays that Overshown dislocated this thumb during Thursday's practice, though the thumb injury isn't considered serious. Overshown continues to rehab from a torn ACL, MCL and PCL that he suffered in December, which caused him to start the 2025 regular season on the PUP list. He won't be available to play against the Cardinals on Sunday but is on track to return following the Cowboys' Week 10 bye.
