As training camp is officially one month away, the Dallas Cowboys are tasked with collecting a 90-man roster to take the trip to Oxnard.<\/p>\n
While in Southern California, head coach Brian Schottenheimer and his new staff will conduct intense workouts, go over the schemes installed at minicamp, and – perhaps most importantly – check up on the players recovering from injury.<\/p>\n
Most eyes will be on the rehabbing cornerbacks, All-Pro Trevon Diggs and promising rookie Shavon Revel Jr.<\/p>\n
Both of their official return dates are still up in the air, but based on initial timelines, Revel is expected to be healthy a touch before Diggs, which still leaves the Cowboys in a tough spot in trying to make a decision on how to fill out the rest of the roster.<\/p>\n
When it comes time to cut the 90 down to 53 ahead of the regular season, a cornerback is likely to get the boot to make way for the returners off the injured list, especially Diggs since he’s expected to not be ready by Week 1.<\/p>\n
A release could come before we even make it to training camp.<\/p>\n
Who that might that be?\u00a0Clutch Points believes former second-round pick Andrew Booth is the most in danger of getting cut.<\/p>\n
The load-up this offseason in the secondary – largely due to the injury-plagued depth, but maybe because of Booth’s underwhelming play – places him in an uncomfortable scenario.<\/p>\n
“Booth also got caught in the draft crunch. The Cowboys picked Shavon Revel in Round 3,” the article read. “It\u2019s true Revel is trying to come back from an injury, but his abilities when healthy put him in front of Booth [on the depth chart].<\/p>\n
“The Cowboys also added three undrafted free agents at the cornerback position. There are plenty of signs they weren\u2019t satisfied with the play of Booth in 2024. But the injury status of Revel and Trevon Diggs could give Booth a second chance to show what he\u2019s got.”<\/p>\n
In order to keep his job, Booth will have to exceed expectations in his increased reps while Diggs and Revel remain sidelined.<\/p>\n
Booth got a chance last season when Diggs went down for good late in the year. He subbed in for seven total games, starting in two, and registered 15 tackles and one pass defensed.<\/p>\n
The most alarming numbers were the amount of completions against him. Booth allowed a staggering 80 percent completion on passes in his direction, giving up 12 catches on 15 targets. He allowed 193 receiving yards and two touchdowns in man coverage.<\/p>\n
Dallas could be the second team to move on from the Clemson product. Booth spent his first two years with the Minnesota Vikings before being traded straight up for Nahshon Wright last offseason.<\/p>\n
With someone destined to hit the chopping block and other formidable options left in free agency, Booth may be playing with everything left to lose this summer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
