Shavon Revel mystery injury status remains but Cowboys CB takes positive step

The Dallas Cowboys have a huge matchup this Sunday when they take on the Washington Commanders.

The NFC East has suddenly become a division that is up for grabs, and the Cowboys have an incredible chance to make ground on their quest for the crown.

However, the team is still dealing with the same issue that plagued them last season. Injuries have been a major cause for concern in Dallas this season.

It appears that many players are trending in the right direction to maybe even make their presence known this upcoming week.

Still, there are a few players who are working on making their way to the field. One is even putting in the work to make his NFL debut.

2025 third-round pick Shavon Revel Jr. has yet to make his NFL debut for the Cowboys. The Cowboys drafted Revel, knowing that he would be nursing an injury he suffered in college upon his arrival.

Things have been somewhat quiet on the Revel front as the season has progressed. But on Thursday, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, shared an update on the injured Cowboys rookie.

Rookie CB Shavon Revel Jr. (knee) is still waiting to be cleared for his first NFL practice, much less game, but it was good to see him back out with the rehab group during the media portion of practice for the first time in a few weeks.

The Cowboys' secondary has seen its fair share of injuries. Both starting cornerbacks, DaRon Bland and Trevon Diggs, have had to bounce back from injuries that cut their 2024 campaign short.

Now, the hope is that Revel can soon have his own comeback story for the franchise. The anticipation from the fanbase to see a glimpse of Revel on the field is still fairly high. Seeing him putting in work on the practice field won't tamper those feelings.
