One of the biggest concerns centers on linebacker DeMarvion Overshown, who is still recovering from a torn ACL and MCL sustained last December. Overshown’s availability for the start of the season is very much in doubt as he continues his rehab process . Another critical piece, star cornerback Trevon Diggs, remains sidelined with a knee injury following surgery at the end of last season and will open camp on the PUP list. Whether Diggs will be ready for the regular season opener is still uncertain .

Defensive back Markquese Bell, who showed promise before his injury, is also dealing with a shoulder issue that limited him late last year. The Cowboys’ secondary depth is being further tested with Josh Butler, Caelen Carson, Kemon Hall, and rookie Shavon Revel—all battling injuries, with Revel beginning camp on the PUP list after ACL surgery .

While Dallas’s defense remains a strength on paper, the growing list of injuries has created real concern. The Cowboys surrendered 55 touchdowns last season, and this year’s early injury woes—especially at cornerback and linebacker—will challenge the team’s depth and could force some difficult decisions if key players aren’t cleared soon .

On the offensive side, tight end John Stephens and offensive tackle Nathan Thomas are both dealing with health setbacks. Kicker Brandon Aubrey has also been affected, further complicating the team’s preparation as the preseason approaches .

With the current injury situation, the Cowboys may need to dig deeper into their bench and could look to free agency or trades for reinforcements. As training camp progresses, player recovery and depth will be critical factors if Dallas hopes to maintain its ambitions for the upcoming season .

Raiders Reunite with a Former Starter to Fortify the Offensive Line
Las Vegas, NV   The Las Vegas Raiders have brought back a familiar face in a move that screams both urgency and savvy: versatile offensive lineman Jermaine Eluemunor is returning to the Silver & Black on a one-year deal (terms not disclosed), reuniting with the franchise where he logged some of the best football of his career and immediately fortifying a position group that has been stretched thin. Eluemunor, 31, started for the Raiders from 2021–2023, showing rare position flexibility across right tackle and guard while anchoring pass protection against premier edge rushers. His technique, anchor, and ability to handle long-arm power made him a steadying force during multiple playoff pushes. After departing Vegas, Eluemunor spent time elsewhere refining his craft, but a confluence of roster needs and scheme familiarity has set the stage for a timely homecoming. For the Raiders—fighting to keep pace in a rugged AFC—this is about stability and fit. Injuries and week-to-week availability on the right side of the line have forced constant shuffling; protection packages have leaned heavily on chips and condensed splits to survive obvious passing downs. Eluemunor’s return allows the staff to plug him at RT or slide him inside at RG, restoring balance to protections and widening the run-game menu (duo, inside zone, and the toss/ pin-pull that Vegas fans love when the edge is sealed). “Jermaine knows who we are and how we want to play,” a team source said. “He brings ballast. Assignment sound, physical, and smart—he raises the floor for the entire unit.” Beyond the X’s and O’s, there’s an unmistakable emotional charge to this reunion. Eluemunor was a locker-room favorite in his previous stint—professional, detail-driven, and accountable. The belief internally is that his presence stabilizes communication on the right side (IDs, slides, and pass-off rules vs. games and simulated pressures), which in turn unlocks more vertical concepts and keeps the quarterback cleaner late in games. On social media, Raider Nation lit up the timeline with a simple refrain: “Welcome back, Jem.” Many fans called the deal the exact kind of “rival-poach, ready-to-play” move a contender makes in October: low friction, high impact, zero learning curve. What it means on the field (immediately): Pass pro: Fewer emergency chips, more five-out releases—OC can re-open deeper intermediate shots without living in max-protect. Run game: Better edge control on toss/duo; more confidence running to the right on money downs. Depth & versatility: One injury doesn’t force a cascade of position changes; Eluemunor can cover two spots with starting-level competency. The timetable? Swift. Because Eluemunor already speaks the language—terminology, splits, cadence rules—he could suit up as early as this weekend if the medicals/check-ins continue to trend positive. The message is clear: the Raiders aren’t waiting around for the line to gel—they’re engineering it. If Jermaine Eluemunor plays to his Raider résumé, this reunion could be the precise mid-season jolt that steadies the offense and keeps the Silver & Black firmly in the postseason race. Raider Nation, the question writes itself: Plug-and-play stopgap—or the catalyst that reclaims the right side
