Caelen Carson Injury: Out with knee injury

Carson will be sidelined 4-6 weeks due to a hyperextended knee he suffered in practice Monday, DallasCowboys.com reports.

The second-year cornerback underwent shoulder surgery in December, but he seemed to be fully recovered from that procedure heading into training camp. Carson's injury deals another blow to a Cowboys secondary that was already thin due to potentially lengthy absences from Trevon Diggs (knee), Shavon Revel (knee) and Josh Butler (knee). Dallas signed Christian Matthew -- who has some familiarity with Matt Eberflus' defense after a brief stint with the Bears in 2023 -- on Monday to provide additional depth at corner.
