JONATHAN MINGO NEWS

Ready to go for TNF Mingo is active for Thursday night's matchup with the Lions.

Impact Mingo will be active for just the second time this season, suiting up in place of Jalen Tolbert (coach's decision) against Detroit. Mingo has played just three snaps on offense this year, failing to garner a target. He'll operate behind Ceedee Lamb, George Pickens, Ryan Flournoy and KaVontae Turpin in Week 14.

Healthy scratch Thanksgiving Day Mingo (coach's decision) is Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram for Thursday's game against the Chiefs.

Impact Mingo has consistently been a healthy scratch since returning from IR late October, as his first game being listed as active came Week 12 versus the Eagles. With Jalen Tolbert now back in the lineup versus Kansas City, however, Mingo reverts to his usual role. His next chance to suit up will come Thursday, Dec. 4 versus the Lions in Week 14.

Active for first time this season Mingo is active for Sunday's Week 12 matchup against the Eagles.

Impact Mingo had been a healthy scratch for the three games that had transpired since he came off injured reserve ahead of Week 8, but he'll break that streak Sunday while fellow wideout Jalen Tolbert is inactive for the first time this season. Despite his availability against Philadelphia, Mingo isn't slated for a sizable role, considering he projects as the No. 5 receiver behind the top quartet of CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens, Ryan Flournoy and KaVontae Turpin.

Remains healthy scratch Mingo (coach's decision) is inactive for Monday's game against the Cardinals.

Impact Mingo was activated from injured reserve ahead of Dallas' Week 8 matchup, but he'll be a healthy scratch for the second consecutive contest. It's unclear if he's still ramping up, or if the Cowboys are content with their wide receiver depth for the time being.

Season debut delayed Mingo (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game in Denver.

Impact After the Cowboys activated Mingo from injured reserve Tuesday, Mingo was a full practice participant Wednesday through Friday and entered the weekend without a designation. However, his season debut will be delayed at least one week, perhaps to give him a bit more time to complete his recovery from the PCL sprain that he suffered in his right knee in preseason Week 2. Mingo's next chance for game action is Monday, Nov. 3 against the Cardinals.

Makes return from IR The Cowboys reinstated Mingo (knee) from injured reserve Tuesday.

Impact Though Mingo closed this past week as a full practice participant, the Cowboys chose not to activate him from IR ahead of Sunday's eventual 44-22 win over the Commanders. The wideout looks to be fully recovered from the PCL sprain of his right knee he sustained in an Aug. 16 preseason game, and with his 21-day evaluation window nearing its end, the Cowboys have now added him back to the 53-man roster. Mingo should be available for this Sunday's game in Denver, but it's not clear if the Cowboys will make him active for the contest with fellow wideouts CeeDee Lamb and Kavontae Turpin having recently returned from multi-game absences due to injury.

Expected to be activated this week Coach Brian Schottenheimer said Monday that Mingo (knee) will be activated from injured reserve this week, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Mingo was designated for return from injured reserve Oct. 1, so the Cowboys had to make a decision on his status this week before his 21-day window closes. Upon his return, Mingo will join a loaded wide receiver room that includes CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens, KaVontae Turpin, Ryan Flournoy and Jalen Tolbert. Mingo is unlikely to have any fantasy value unless there are injuries ahead of him.

OCTOBER 20 • ROTOWIRE

Remaining on IR Mingo (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Commanders and will remain on injured reserve.

Impact Mingo earned the questionable tag for Week 7 after logging a full practice Friday, bu the third-year wideout hasn't progressed enough in his recovery to return from a PCL sprain in his right knee that he sustained during the preseason in mid-August. Mingo's 21-day window to be reinstated from injured reserve opened Oct. 1, and he would be forced to remain on IR for the rest of the season if he's not reinstated by the Cowboys prior to the window closing. Mingo's next opportunity to make his 2025 regular-season debut is Week 8 against the Broncos on Sunday, Oct. 26.

OCTOBER 18 • ROTOWIRE

Chance to play Week 7 Mingo (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Commanders, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Impact Mingo ended the week strong with a full practice Friday, and the third-year wideout has a chance to make his 2025 debut Sunday. Even if he does return, Mingo would likely work in a rotational role in the Cowboys' offense, given that CeeDee Lamb (ankle) and KaVontae Turpin (foot) have both been cleared to play in Sunday's NFC East tilt.

OCTOBER 17 • ROTOWIRE

Limited in Wednesday's practice Mingo (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Impact Mingo's practice participation has been inconsistent since the Cowboys designated the 2023 second-rounder to return from injured reserve Oct. 1. He's opened the week with a limited session Wednesday, but he would give himself a better chance at being reinstated from IR ahead of Sunday's game against the Commanders were he to practice in full over the next two days.

OCTOBER 16 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Week 6 Mingo (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Panthers.

Impact Mingo was not on the field for practice Thursday or Friday, and the third-year wideout will not make his 2025 regular-season debut against the team that drafted him in the second round of the 2023 NFL draft. Mingo will remain on injured reserve for at least one more week, and his next chance to play will be Week 7 against the Commanders on Sunday, Oct. 19.

Won't play Week 6 Mingo (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Panthers.

Impact Mingo was not on the field for practice Thursday or Friday, and the third-year wideout will not make his 2025 regular-season debut against the team that drafted him in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft. Mingo will remain on injured reserve for at least one more week, and his next chance to play will be Week 7 against the Commanders on Sunday, Oct. 19.

Officially questionable for Week 6 Mingo (knee) did not practice Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Clarence Hill Jr. of AllDLLS.com reports.

Impact Mingo ended the week with back-to-back DNPs after practicing in a full capacity Wednesday. Given his lack of practice to end the week, it appears the third-year wideout is on the doubtful side of playing against the team that selected him in the 2023 NFL Draft. If Mingo is in fact ruled out for Sunday's game, his next opportunity to make his 2025 regular-season debut will be Week 7 against the Commanders on Sunday, Oct. 19.

OCTOBER 10 • ROTOWIRE

Sits out practice Thursday Mingo (knee) didn't practice Thursday.

Impact After having his 21-day evaluation window opened Oct. 1, Mingo turned in a trio of limited practices last week, then upgraded to full participation Wednesday. He's regressed to no activity just one day later, though it's unclear if Mingo's absence Thursday was the result of a setback in his recovery from a PCL sprain in his right knee or simply a pre-planned maintenance day. Whatever the case, Mingo will likely need to get back on the practice field in some capacity Friday in order for the Cowboys to consider activating him from injured reserve ahead of Sunday's game at Carolina.

OCTOBER 9 • ROTOWIRE

Upgrades to full practice Mingo (knee), who remains on IR, was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Impact Mingo had his 21-day practice window opened last Wednesday and logged a trio of limited practices before being ruled out for Week 5, but he's now practicing without restrictions. That seemingly sets the stage for Mingo to be activated from IR ahead of Sunday's road game against the Panthers and make his regular-season debut. With CeeDee Lamb (ankle) and KaVontae Turpin (foot) both candidates to miss Week 6, Mingo's return would provide the Cowboys with needed depth at the wide receiver position.

OCTOBER 8 • ROTOWIRE

Not ready to return The Cowboys are not in line to activate Mingo (knee) from IR ahead of Sunday's game against the Jets, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Impact Mingo was designated to return from IR on Wednesday, but after a week of limited practices, the wideout's return to action remains on hold. With CeeDee Lamb (ankle) and KaVontae Turpin (foot) both sidelined this week, the Cowboys will elevate Jalen Brooks and Jalen Cropper from their practice squad.

OCTOBER 4 • ROTOWIRE

Officially questionable for Sunday Mingo (knee) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Mingo was limited at practice all week after being activated from the Cowboys' injured reserve list Wednesday, and his availability in Week 5 seems like a coin-flip proposition. If he were able to suit up, he'd be joining a wide receiver corps already missing CeeDee Lamb (ankle) and KaVontae Turpin (foot), potentially setting him up to see an increased workload right off the bat.

OCTOBER 4 • ROTOWIRE

Limited in practice Wednesday Mingo (knee) was limited in Wednesday's practice, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Impact Mingo was designated for return from injured reserve Wednesday, opening his 21-day practice window. He sprained his PCL during the preseason. With CeeDee Lamb (ankle) injured, Mingo is missing out on a chance to see some playing time on offense.
