Cowboys news: Injuries hit the defensive line, new player signed

The Cowboys brought in a familiar face to add D-line depth.

The Cowboys have made a change in the middle of their defensive line, adding defensive tackle Carlos Watkins off the Commanders’ practice squad.

Watkins, who played for the Cowboys in 27 games from 2021-22, replaces Jordan Phillips, who was moved to IR with a wrist injury.

Phillips would be eligible to return after four games (Oct. 27 in San Francisco) if he’s cleared to play. The Cowboys have not determined how serious the injury is to Phillips, who was acquired by trade back in August during the middle of training camp.
