Chidobe Awuzie News
Dallas Cowboys cornerbacks Chidobe Awuzie and Trevon Diggs (foot) are both anticipated to return to the practice field Wednesday, a step in the right direction for either to return for Sunday's game against San Francisco. Awuzie was absent from Sunday's win over Cincinnati due to COVID-19, while Diggs has been out of the mix since Week 9. Either player returning to the field versus the 49ers would be a major boost for a Cowboys Defense that has been much-maligned in 2020. Awuzie has been a staple of the secondary when healthy, playing nearly every defensive snap, while Diggs has two interceptions across his nine starts. Check back throughout the week to see how both players are progressing, but factoring in their status and the 49ers offensive struggles, attacking the Dallas defense from a fantasy perspective may not be a shrewd play come Week 15.
Dallas Cowboys cornerback Chidobe Awuzie (hamstring) has been placed on the injured reserve by the team on Saturday. This means he'll miss the Cowboys' next three contests, which includes a big matchup against the Seahawks in Week 3. Rookie corner Trevon Diggs is also banged up with a shoulder injury, so this secondary is now far from healthy. It's bad news for Dallas because they'll be tasked with slowing down a red-hot Russell Wilson on Sunday. It's a safe bet to expect a lot of points to be scored in this game. Nearly every skill-position player should be started in this contest.
The Dallas Cowboys are without two of their top cornerbacks for practice Sunday as Chidobe Awuzie and Jourdan Lewis are sidelined due to injury. Awuzie, a projected starter, has been battling a knee ailment while Lewis is wearing a walking boot on his left foot. Trevon Diggs appears to be a safe bet to start at one of the two CB spots irrespective of any injuries in the secondary, but things begin to open up after that if Dallas doesnt have Awuzie or Lewis for Week 1 against the Rams. Dallas defense has been steadily rising in season-long drafts as of late, largely due to the additions of Everson Griffen and Dontari Poe along the defensive line. With Pro Bowl potential littering the field, the Cowboys are a high-upside, high-risk selection at this stage.
