Cowboys Designate Perrion Winfrey to Return From IR as Defense Seeks Help

The 25-year-old defensive tackle enters a 21-day practice window that will determine whether he joins the 53-man roster.

Overview

  • Dallas formally opened Winfrey’s return-to-practice period after a back injury sidelined him since late August and led to an IR placement before Week 1.
  • The club also opened 21-day practice windows for linebacker DeMarvion Overshown and rookie cornerback Shavon Revel.
  • Under NFL rules, Winfrey must be activated within the 21-day window or he will revert to injured reserve for the rest of the season.
  • Owner Jerry Jones said he currently has no defensive trade candidate in mind ahead of next week’s deadline.
  • Winfrey was a preseason standout for Dallas after earning All-UFL honors with the Birmingham Stallions and was originally a 2022 fourth-round pick of Cleveland.
