Cowboys Rule Out Five Players for Week 5 Matchup Against Jets
FRISCO, TX – โOctoberโ 4, 2025 โข- The Dallasโข Cowboys will โbeโฃ without five โขplayers for their โคWeek 5โ contest against theโข New โYork Jets,โข the โteam announced Friday. โDefensive end โขVandinne Neeland (ankle), linebacker Kenneth Murray (knee), running back Miles โฃSanders (knee/ankle), right guard Tylerโฃ Smithโ (knee), and cornerbackโ Caelenโ carson (knee) have all been ruled out.
This wave of absences โsignificantly impactsโ the Cowboys’ depth โฃon both sides of the ball as they prepare to face โคthe โฃjets. The lossโ of Smith is particularly notable, weakening the offensive line. Sanders’ continued absence leaves a void in the running back room,and Murray’s injury further thinsโค the linebacker corps. Carson’sโ unavailability adds to challenges in the secondary.Players currently โฃlisted โas questionable include Jets edge rusher Jermaine Johnson (ankle) and running backโค knee Nwangwu (hamstring).
