Cowboys activate CB Caelen Carson

The Dallas Cowboys will have cornerback Caelen Carson available for Sunday’s game against the Washington Commanders. Carson was activated from injured reserve on Saturday afternoon, marking a positive development for the team’s defensive backfield.

Carson missed the entire season so far due to a knee injury. The 2024 fifth-round draft pick recorded 27 tackles in six games during his rookie season, showcasing his potential early in his career. His return provides valuable depth at the cornerback position, especially with Trevon Diggs sidelined on Sunday due to a concussion.

In addition to Carson’s activation, the Cowboys elevated running back Malik Davis from the practice squad for the game. However, wide receiver Jonathan Mingo, who was also eligible to be activated, will remain on injured reserve and will not suit up Sunday.

The Cowboys’ defensive secondary will look to capitalize on Carson’s return as they face the Commanders in a crucial matchup this weekend.

Commanders' penalty leads to Chargers' opening touchdown

The Commanders had the Chargers stopped at the Washington 11-yard line, with Cameron Dicker lined up for a field goal. Dicker made the chip-shot kick, but the Chargers took the points off the board due to a penalty.

Mike Sainristil was flagged for offsides, giving the Chargers a first down. This costly error shifted the momentum in Los Angeles’s favor.

Just two plays later, Justin Herbert connected with Ladd McConkey for a 2-yard touchdown, putting the Chargers ahead 7-0.

During the play, Herbert sustained a cut on his left hand and scraped his elbow after a 41-yard run. Despite the injury, he was efficient on the opening drive, completing 3 of 4 passes for 21 yards.
