Jalen Tolbert - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Career-high 98 yards in Week 18 Tolbert caught four of six targets for 98 yards in Sunday's 23-19 loss to the Commanders.

Impact Tolbert showed nice chemistry with Trey Lance, who got the start under center for the season finale. The 25-year-old wide receiver set a single-game career high in receiving yards to finish his third NFL season on a high note. After setting career highs across the board with 49 catches for 610 yards and seven touchdowns on 79 targets in 2024, Tolbert will likely reprise his role as a depth option in a receiving corps led by CeeDee Lamb (shoulder) in 2025.

Catches touchdown in loss Tolbert brought in three of four targets for 30 yards and a touchdown in the Cowboys' 41-7 loss to the Eagles on Sunday.

Impact Tolbert recorded his seventh touchdown of the campaign on a four-yard grab with just under six minutes remaining in the first quarter, a catch that served as the highlight of his afternoon. The third-year pro battled through a finger injury to suit up Sunday, and he served as the No. 2 receiver in the Cowboys' first game without CeeDee Lamb (IR-shoulder). Tolbert will face an inconsistent Commanders secondary in a Week 18 home matchup to close out the season.

Good to go for Week 17 Tolbert (finger) is active for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Impact After suffering a finger injury last week against the Buccaneers, Tolbert was limited at each practice during Week 17 prep and drew a questionable tag. He's been cleared to play and should have an increased role on tap, as CeeDee Lamb (shoulder) has been shut down for the season with the Cowboys out of playoff contention. Since Cooper Rush replaced Dak Prescott (hamstring) in Week 10, Tolbert has recorded 26 targets in seven games. However, he's secured less than half of those, posting a 12-129-3 line in that span.

Questionable for Sunday Tolbert (finger) is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest at Philadelphia, Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Impact The finger injury suffered by Tolbert this past Sunday against the Buccaneers resulted in limited listings on all three Week 17 practice reports for the third-year wide receiver. If he's able to suit up Sunday at 1:00 p.m. ET, he'll be helping to fill the void left behind by the Cowboys' top WR CeeDee Lamb, whose lingering shoulder injury shut him down for the season Thursday. Since Cooper Rush took over for Dak Prescott (hamstring) under center Week 10, Tolbert has notched a 12-129-3 line on 26 targets over the last seven games.

Another limited listing Tolbert (finger) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports.

Impact Tolbert left this past Sunday's game against the Buccaneers just before halftime due to a finger injury and didn't return. Since then, he was listed as limited on the first two Week 17 practice reports, giving him one last chance Friday to return to full participation or otherwise risk entering the weekend with a designation for Sunday's contest at Philadelphia. If he's able to suit up, Tolbert likely will have an elevated role in the Cowboys offense following news Thursday that CeeDee Lamb was shut down for the season due to a persisting shoulder issue.

DECEMBER 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Listed as limited Wednesday Tolbert (finger) was listed as limited on Wednesday's estimated practice report, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Impact Tolbert hurt his finger late in the first half of this past Sunday's game versus the Buccaneers and was unable to return. The fact he would have logged some activity if the Cowboys had held practice Wednesday generally is a good sign, but he may need to maintain that activity level, at least, to give himself a chance to avoid a designation by week's end.

DECEMBER 25, 2024 • SI.COM

Return questionable due to finger Tolbert (finger) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Tolbert injured his finger attempting to make a contested catch late in the first half. Prior to the injury, he caught two of three targets for 20 yards, including a 10-yard touchdown reception in the first quarter.

DECEMBER 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Finds end zone in Week 15 win Tolbert caught one of two targets for an 11-yard touchdown in Sunday's win over the Panthers.

Impact The third-year wideout made his only grab of the day count, getting both feet down at the back of the end zone early in the third quarter for his fifth TD of the season. Tolbert has seen little volume since Cooper Rush took over as the Cowboys' QB, catching two passes or fewer in five straight games and posting a 7-95-2 line on 18 targets over that stretch. However, Tolbert might be able to hit paydirt again in Week 16 against the Buccaneers' vulnerable secondary.

Nabs two catches Thursday Tolbert recorded two catches on four targets for 41 yards in Thursday's 27-20 Week 13 win against the Giants.

Impact Though he managed only two receptions, Tolbert finished second on the Cowboys in receiving yards thanks mostly to a 36-yard catch in the third quarter. He also logged the most offensive snaps (55, for a 72 percent snap share) among the team's wideouts. That was largely a result of CeeDee Lamb sitting out much of the third quarter and all of the fourth due to a shoulder injury. For the time being, there is optimism that Lamb won't have to miss any games due to the issue, but if the star wideout does end of being sidelined, Tolbert would likely ascend to the role of the Cowboys' No. 1 receiver.

NOVEMBER 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Finds end zone Sunday Tolbert caught two of four targets for 22 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's win over the Commanders.

Impact The third-year wideout gave the Cowboys a 10-9 lead late in the third quarter with his six-yard TD grab, setting the stage for a wild fourth quarter in an eventual 34-26 victory. Tolbert has caught two of his four touchdowns on the season since Cooper Rush replaced Dak Prescott (hamstring) under center but has otherwise struggled to make much of an impact, posting a 10-76-2 line on 20 targets over the last four games. With Brandin Cooks (knee) closing in on a return from IR, Tolbert could lose some volume as soon as a Week 13 clash with the Giants.

NOVEMBER 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Two catches in loss Tolbert caught two of his five targets for 21 yards in Monday's 34-10 loss to the Texans.

Impact Tolbert continued his streak of underwhelming performances Monday, as the third-year wideout's two catches accounted for his lowest reception total since Week 1. Operating as the Cowboys' No. 2 wide receiver, Tolbert has seen a decline in his production much like the entire Dallas offense throughout the season. With Cooper Rush starting at quarterback, the 25-year-old receiver will likely continue to struggle to make much of an impact for fantasy going forward. Tolbert remains difficult to trust for fantasy purposes heading into a Week 12 matchup against the Commanders.

NOVEMBER 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Just two catches in blowout loss Tolbert finished with two receptions (five targets) for 21 yards in Monday's 34-10 loss to the Texans.

Impact Tolbert's recent struggles with backup quarterback Cooper Rush under center continued or the second week in a row. The Cowboys' No. 2 option behind CeeDee Lamb (8-93-0) finished with totals even deep-league managers would cringe at over a two-week period. If someone walks through the doors of AT&T Stadium who can resuscitate Dallas' offense sans Dak Prescott (hamstring), then we could recommend Tolbert as a strong play in Week 12. Until then, the talented receiver's floor will remain low.

Three grabs against Philly Tolbert caught three of five targets for 14 yards in Sunday's loss to the Eagles.

Impact The wideout's first game of the year without Dak Prescott (hamstring) under center didn't go smoothly. Tolbert got a few short receptions from Cooper Rush, but when Trey Lance took over the offense late, the duo failed to connect on a deep pass that went for an interception -- in fact, Tolbert never even turned around to see if the ball was coming his way. Prescott could be headed for season-ending surgery, and no matter who his replacement at QB is, Tolbert's ceiling figures to be a lot lower heading into a Week 11 clash with the Texans.

NOVEMBER 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Snags TD in Sunday's loss Tolbert caught three of six targets for 19 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-21 loss to the Falcons.

Impact While he didn't generate much yardage, Tolbert salvaged his day with a four-yard TD late in the fourth quarter. The pass came from Cooper Rush and not Dak Prescott (hamstring), and with Prescott headed for an MRI on Monday, there's a real chance Rush could get the start in Week 10 against the Eagles. CeeDee Lamb was also nursing a sore shoulder late in Sunday's loss, so the Cowboys' passing game could look very different for that key divisional matchup.

NOVEMBER 3, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Three grabs against 49ers Tolbert caught all three of his targets for 44 yards in Sunday's 30-24 loss to the 49ers.

Impact Tolbert tied teammate CeeDee Lamb in snaps (55), operating as the Cowboys' clear No. 2 wideout. Sunday marked the sixth time in seven games in which the 25-year-old Tolbert recorded at least three catches. With the Cowboys facing a favorable passing game schedule down the stretch, its possible that the third-year receiver could see his role grow and have a more consistent impact. With that said, veteran Brandin Cooks (knee) is likely nearing a return from injured reserve, which could put a cap on Tolbert's upside. Up next for the Cowboys is a Week 9 matchup against the Saints.

Four receptions in blowout loss Tolbert recorded four receptions on five targets for 43 yards in Sunday's 47-9 loss to the Lions.

Impact The Cowboys struggled to get their offense going throughout the game, which hurt Tolbert's stat line. He still managed to finish second on the team in yards thanks to a 26-yard reception midway through the first quarter. Dallas will head into their bye week, but Tolbert should keep his role as a key pass catcher in a Week 8 matchup against the 49ers.
