Cowboys' Tarell Basham: Hopes to return in 1-2 weeks
Rotowire
Basham (thigh) will "hopefully [be] back in 1-2 weeks" from his injury, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
There's still no concrete timetable for his return, but it seems that Basham is in real danger of missing Dallas' Week 2 matchup versus Cincinnati. Until he's back to full health, Chauncey Golston and 2022 second-rounder Sam Williams are candidates to step up in his absence.

Tarell Basham: Links up with Cowboys
Rotowire
Basham signed a two-year, $6.5 million contract with Dallas on Thursday, Manish Mehta of New York Daily News reports.
Dallas fortifies its pass rush with Thursday's addition of Basham, as the franchise welcomes a player who quietly notched 13 QB hits and a career-high 3.5 sacks in 2020. The 27-year-old brings with him the experience of 11 starts and 32 appearances the past two seasons. While this transaction may not constitute a high-profile addition to the Cowboys' pass rush, it's a nudge in the right direction after Dallas tied for 22nd in sacks last year.

Jets' Tarell Basham: Can't practice Thursday
Rotowire
Basham (illness) was held out of the Jets' practice session Thursday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
It has been confirmed that the 26-year-old is dealing with a non-COVID-related illness, perhaps shortening the length of his inactive stint. Basham has been playing an integral role for the Jets this season, with an average of 38.2 defensive snaps per game over the first six weeks of 2020. During a 24-0 Week 6 loss to the Dolphins, Basham picked up his first sack of the season. If he can't make it back in time for a Week 7 matchup against Buffalo, Blake Cashman would be in line for additional snaps at outside linebacker.

Rotowire
Basham played just 15 snaps on defense in Sunday's loss to the Rams. He didn't have a tackle, but had two QB hurries.
The 2017 third-round draft pick didn't make a strong impression in training camp and begins the season as a reserve player. He could get more playing time if he continues to show some spark in rushing the passer, however.
