The Dallas Cowboys' secondary has been devastated by injuries during the 2024-25 NFL season, with cornerbacks Trevon Diggs, DaRon Bland, Jourdan Lewis, Caelen Carson, and Josh Butler all missing time this season.

Bland started the season on IR, while Diggs, Carson, and Butler all suffered season-ending injuries.

The lack of depth at secondary leaves the Cowboys in desperate need of adding bodies to the secondary, so Jourdan Lewis, who is dealing with an elbow issue, would be a huge addition for Week 16 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
