\n

The Dallas Cowboys have placed defensive tackle Perrion Winfrey<\/strong> on the injured reserve list due to a back injury, meaning he will miss at least four games<\/strong> while recovering from the injury.<\/p>\n

The Cowboys announced the injury designation on Tuesday, with the team now having only a few days to determine which player will take Winfrey\u2019s spot on the active roster in Week 2.<\/p>\n

Although Winfrey did not take the field for the Cowboys in Week 1, the former fourth-round draft selection put together an impressive offseason to make the active roster.<\/p>\n

Winfrey joined the Cowboys during the offseason following one season with the Birmingham Stallions, becoming the only player from the 2025 UFL draft class to sign with an NFL team.<\/p>\n

Dallas could look to replace Winfrey on the 53-man roster, although the addition of defensive tackle Kenny Clark has likely moved this position down on the team\u2019s list of needs.<\/p>\n

One potential option for the team to replace Winfrey during his absence is former first-round draft pick Mazi Smith<\/strong>, who was listed as a healthy inactive during the Cowboys\u2019 Week 1 game.<\/p>\n

Cowboys Head Coach Brian Schottenheimer said following Week 1 that Smith has the potential to become an effective player in the NFL, but the day-to-day performance has not been sustainable at this time.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s not even begun to reach his peak, but the consistency has not been there and therefore, if your philosophy is [to] compete every day, then that\u2019s what you have to do. Make those decisions,\u201d Schottenheimer added, per The Cowboys.<\/p>\n

Although Dallas could look to add another defensive tackle in free agency, the team could also choose to pursue a free agent at another position of need.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The biggest defensive position of need for this Cowboys team is linebacker<\/strong>, as Dallas struggled heavily at that position against the Philadelphia Eagles and may look to free agency to fill that role in the future.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
