Carson registered seven tackles (six solo) during Sunday's 27-21 loss to the Falcons. Carson missed the Cowboys' last four regular-season games due to a shoulder injury he sustained in Week 3 against the Ravens. He returned Sunday and tied with DeMarvion Overshown for third-most tackles on the Cowboys behind Eric Kendricks (nine) and Donovan Wilson (eight). Carson could start in Week 10 against the Eagles if DaRon Bland (foot) is unable to play.
Carson (shoulder) was a full practice participant Wednesday, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports. Carson has been unable to play since Week 3 due to a shoulder injury, even though he was a full practice participant in the leadup to Week 6 and 8. Even if he's listed as a full participant in each of the next two days, that doesn't appear to guarantee that he'll be able to return against Atlanta on Sunday.
Carson (shoulder) is inactive for Sunday night's contest against the 49ers. Carson was able to log three full practices in a row to end the week, but he'll still be forced to miss Week 8 with the shoulder injury that has sidelined him since late September. In his absence, C.J. Goodwin will likely operate in an expanded role again versus San Francisco.
Carson (shoulder) was a full participant during Friday's practice and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports. Carson has been able to log three consecutive full practices this week, and although he's tagged as questionable, the rookie fifth-round pick is leaning towards the probable side of playing Sunday. He missed the Cowboys' last three regular-season games due to a shoulder injury, but assuming he plays Sunday, he should reclaim his starting corner job alongside Trevon Diggs.
Carson (shoulder) was listed as a full practice participant on Wednesday's injury report. Carson missed the Cowboys' three games before the Week 7 bye due to a shoulder injury. He was able to practice without restriction Wednesday, though it should be noted he was a full practice participant in all three sessions leading up to the Cowboys' Week 6 game against the Lions but still didn't play in that contest. Still, the extra rest should be enough for Carson to suit up against the 49ers on Sunday, barring any setbacks.
Carson (shoulder) is listed as inactive Sunday against the Lions. Carson practiced fully during the entirety of Week 6 prep but received a questionable designation on the Cowboys' final injury report Friday. With the decision to keep him in street clothes Sunday, he'll miss his third game in a row due to a shoulder issue. With a Week 7 bye on tap, Carson will turn his focus to the team's next game Sunday, Oct. 27 at San Francisco.
Carson (shoulder) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice session, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports. Carson has missed the last two games due to a shoulder injury, but the rookie fifth-round pick appears past the issue. Barring any setbacks, he should make his return Sunday against the Lions and reclaim his starting spot at corner opposite Trevon Diggs. Carson has registered 15 tackles (14 solo) and two passes defended across three regular-season games.
Head coach Mike McCarty stated Monday that Carson (shoulder) is getting closer to returning, Joe Hoyt of AllDLLS.com reports. Carson hasn't played since Week 3, but he did log a trio of limited practices last week. His potential return Week 6 against the Lions would be good news for a Cowboys defense that is dealing with multiple injuries to its front seven.
Carson (shoulder) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Steelers. Carson was listed as questionable heading into Week 5, but the rookie fifth-round pick will miss a second straight game due to a shoulder injury. Amani Oruwariye and Andrew Booth will see an uptick in snaps at corner Sunday opposite starter Trevon Diggs.
