**EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ -** The Dallas Cowboys will face the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium on Sunday with a significantly depleted roster due to a rash of injuries. Rookie running back Jaydon Blue is poised to make his NFL debut, stepping up as Miles Sanders joins a long list of inactive players due to knee and ankle injuries sustained in last week’s tie against the Packers.

The Cowboys’ injury list is extensive, including key players such as WR CeeDee Lamb (ankle), OL Tyler Booker (ankle), OL Tyler Guyton (concussion), S Malik Hooker (toe), and WR KaVontae Turpin (foot). Hooker has been placed on injured reserve, sidelining him for at least four weeks, and replaced on the active roster by UDFA safety Alijah Clark. Juanyeh Thomas will start in Hooker’s place.

OL Tyler Smith, battling a knee injury, is active but expected to be emergency depth for the offensive line. DE Marshawn Kneeland (ankle) and LB Kenneth Murray (knee) are listed as questionable. WR Jonathan Mingo and CB Caelen Carson will remain on the Reserve/Designated to Return list.

Despite the mounting injuries, head coach Brian Schottenheimer expressed confidence in Jaydon Blue, stating the rookie has shown consistency in practice and mastered the offensive scheme. The team elevated WR Jalen Brooks and WR Jalen Cropper for the game against the Jets.

In other news, Veteran wide receiver Parris Campbell is returning to sign with the Cowboys for a second time in 2025 for their practice squad.

**Dak Prescott Achieves Milestones**

Despite the disappointing tie against the Packers, quarterback Dak Prescott passed Troy Aikman for most completions in franchise history with 2,901. He also extended his franchise record with 22 games with a rushing and passing touchdown. Tight end Jake Ferguson scored his first touchdown of the season against the Packers, and now has 34 receptions this year, the most in NFL history by a tight end in the first four games.
