Training camp offers wild fluctuations in player value.
One great practice can set a player on the path to the final roster.
One poor practice can have catastrophic effects in a tightly contested battle.
For a position group like cornerback, the battle is fierce for the Cowboys.
Having endured an injury-filled campaign a season prior,
the Cowboys are very aware of their need to have stable CB options at the ready in 2023.
They’re keeping watchful eye on the battle and have to weigh the immediate roster needs against their long-term roster desires.
Players like Stephon Gilmore and Jourdan Lewis could be useful today but they likely don’t figure into their plans beyond this season.
The Cowboys are grooming a handful of young players
who they hope will take the reins soon and provide inexpensive labor alongside the newly re-signed Trevon Diggs.
Diggs had been held out for precautionary reasons most of camp, but debuted in team drills on Tuesday.
His absence opened up more opportunities for others to get meaningful snaps.
