The Dallas Cowboys made a move to strengthen their receiving group ahead of the NFL trade deadline, acquiring Jonathan Mingo from the Carolina Panthers. Mingo is set to make his debut for the Cowboys in Week 11 against the Houston Texans.
Ahead of his first game with the team, Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy shared his thoughts on the new addition to the offense, praising Mingo’s potential. As reported by Clarence Hill Jr. of All City Dallas, McCarthy stated that Mingo has “been everything they thought he was, can play inside and outside, and has shown vertical juice.”
Mingo, a second-round selection in the 2023 NFL Draft, has had limited opportunities with the Panthers. In the 2024 season, he has recorded just 12 receptions for 121 yards. However, during his rookie year, the 6-foot-2 former Ole Miss standout caught 43 passes for 418 yards. It remains to be seen if Mingo will make an immediate impact in his first appearance on Monday Night Football with the Cowboys.

Dallas Cowboys and Jerry Jones Receive Positive Update After a Tough Month
Micah Parsons has been dealing with an ankle strain since the fourth game of the 2024/25 season.
After a tough month, the Dallas Cowboys and Jerry Jones are finally receiving some positive news. Parsons may be ready to return in Week 10, just in time for a crucial NFC East matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, November 10.
The star linebacker has been sidelined for five games due to the ankle injury, a key factor in the Cowboys’ struggles, as they now hold a 3-5 record. This news is a welcome relief for head coach Mike McCarthy, who has had to cope with injuries to players like DeMarcus Lawrence, DaRon Bland, Brandin Cooks, and most recently, quarterback Dak Prescott, as the team’s season has been spiraling downward.
So, how does Parsons feel about his recovery, and is he ready to face their divisional rivals at AT&T Stadium?
“I feel great,” Parsons said of his recovery. “My chances are high to play, but we are just trying to see how the practice goes and where the talent is at and what measures we have to take to play this game.
“I just have to get the feel of the rush. I’m starting all over. My lungs are hurting out there. So, it’s basically like I’m restarting my season all over again.”
Cowboys’ season hangs in the balance in Week 10
The Cowboys’ Super Bowl hopes now appear slim as they sit in third place in the NFC East, trailing the Eagles by three wins and the Commanders by four. A victory on Sunday is crucial for their playoff chances.
A loss would likely eliminate them from the division race, and they could also fall further down the NFC standings, where they are currently the fourth-worst team.
However, a win would keep their hopes alive, at least until Prescott returns from his hamstring injury. Only then will the trio of Prescott, Lamb, and Parsons have the chance to reunite, offering McCarthy some much-needed hope.
