Jonathan Mingo is making it harder and harder to justify Cowboys' patience Yet another Jonathan Mingo setback is only making it harder for the Cowboys to justify keeping him on the roster.

JUNE 10 • THELANDRYHAT.COM

Dealing with groin strain Coach Brian Schottenheimer said Tuesday that Mingo is tending to a minor groin strain, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Impact There was no indication as to when Mingo suffered the injury, but it doesn't sound like it's a serious issue. Any time that Mingo potentially misses could turn into a small opportunity for Tyler Johnson to make a bigger impression outside.

Jonathan Mingo's days might be numbered after Cowboys' Marquez Valdes-Scantling move The Cowboys' signing of Marquez Valdes-Scantling could give them all they need to part ways with wide receiver Jonathan Mingo.

Fails to make impact in 2025 Mingo caught one of five targets for 25 yards while active for six games with the Cowboys in 2025.

Impact The third-year wideout didn't see his first snap of the season until Week 12, and he saw exactly one target in each of Dallas' last five games, catching just one of them. Mingo has one year left on his rookie contract after being a second-round pick of the Panthers in 2023, but he's done nothing with the Cowboys to suggest a breakout is coming next season, and he may not even be guaranteed a roster spot.

Could have bigger role Thursday Mingo is not among Dallas' inactives for Thursday's Week 17 game against the Commanders, per Todd Archer of ESPN.com, and he could see an increased role with Ryan Flournoy (knee) o...

Impact Mingo has had a quiet season so far, tallying one catch on three targets for 25 yards over four games. He'll still be behind CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens and KaVontae Turpin in the WR pecking order Thursday, but Mingo could get a few more looks due to Flournoy's absence. Mingo has been a bit more involved of late anyway, notching 14 offensive snaps Week 15 and eight offensive snaps last Sunday against the Chargers.

DECEMBER 25, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

First catch of season Mingo caught his only target for a 25-yard gain in Sunday's 34-26 loss to the Vikings.

Impact His first catch of the season came on the Cowboys' final drive, helping to set up a Brandon Aubrey field goal that got the home side to within a score, but they couldn't recover the subsequent onside kick. Mingo has seen only two targets in three games since making his 2025 debut in Week 12, and it would likely take a rash of injuries ahead of him on the depth chart to get him on the fantasy radar.

DECEMBER 15, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Ready to go for TNF Mingo is active for Thursday night's matchup with the Lions.

Impact Mingo will be active for just the second time this season, suiting up in place of Jalen Tolbert (coach's decision) against Detroit. Mingo has played just three snaps on offense this year, failing to garner a target. He'll operate behind Ceedee Lamb, George Pickens, Ryan Flournoy and KaVontae Turpin in Week 14.

DECEMBER 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Healthy scratch Thanksgiving Day Mingo (coach's decision) is Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram for Thursday's game against the Chiefs.

Impact Mingo has consistently been a healthy scratch since returning from IR late October, as his first game being listed as active came Week 12 versus the Eagles. With Jalen Tolbert now back in the lineup versus Kansas City, however, Mingo reverts to his usual role. His next chance to suit up will come Thursday, Dec. 4 versus the Lions in Week 14.

NOVEMBER 27, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Active for first time this season Mingo is active for Sunday's Week 12 matchup against the Eagles.

Impact Mingo had been a healthy scratch for the three games that had transpired since he came off injured reserve ahead of Week 8, but he'll break that streak Sunday while fellow wideout Jalen Tolbert is inactive for the first time this season. Despite his availability against Philadelphia, Mingo isn't slated for a sizable role, considering he projects as the No. 5 receiver behind the top quartet of CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens, Ryan Flournoy and KaVontae Turpin.

Healthy inactive again for Week 11 Mingo (coach's decision) is inactive for Monday night's game against the Raiders.

Impact Mingo was activated from injured reserve ahead of Week 8 but has remained a healthy scratch for all three contests since his activation. He's buried on the Cowboys' wideout depth chart.

Remains healthy scratch Mingo (coach's decision) is inactive for Monday's game against the Cardinals.

Impact Mingo was activated from injured reserve ahead of Dallas' Week 8 matchup, but he'll be a healthy scratch for the second consecutive contest. It's unclear if he's still ramping up, or if the Cowboys are content with their wide receiver depth for the time being.

Season debut delayed Mingo (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game in Denver.

Impact After the Cowboys activated Mingo from injured reserve Tuesday, Mingo was a full practice participant Wednesday through Friday and entered the weekend without a designation. However, his season debut will be delayed at least one week, perhaps to give him a bit more time to complete his recovery from the PCL sprain that he suffered in his right knee in preseason Week 2. Mingo's next chance for game action is Monday, Nov. 3 against the Cardinals.

Makes return from IR The Cowboys reinstated Mingo (knee) from injured reserve Tuesday.

Impact Though Mingo closed this past week as a full practice participant, the Cowboys chose not to activate him from IR ahead of Sunday's eventual 44-22 win over the Commanders. The wideout looks to be fully recovered from the PCL sprain of his right knee he sustained in an Aug. 16 preseason game, and with his 21-day evaluation window nearing its end, the Cowboys have now added him back to the 53-man roster. Mingo should be available for this Sunday's game in Denver, but it's not clear if the Cowboys will make him active for the contest with fellow wideouts CeeDee Lamb and Kavontae Turpin having recently returned from multi-game absences due to injury.

Expected to be activated this week Coach Brian Schottenheimer said Monday that Mingo (knee) will be activated from injured reserve this week, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Mingo was designated for return from injured reserve Oct. 1, so the Cowboys had to make a decision on his status this week before his 21-day window closes. Upon his return, Mingo will join a loaded wide receiver room that includes CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens, KaVontae Turpin, Ryan Flournoy and Jalen Tolbert. Mingo is unlikely to have any fantasy value unless there are injuries ahead of him.

OCTOBER 20, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Remaining on IR Mingo (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Commanders and will remain on injured reserve.

Impact Mingo earned the questionable tag for Week 7 after logging a full practice Friday, bu the third-year wideout hasn't progressed enough in his recovery to return from a PCL sprain in his right knee that he sustained during the preseason in mid-August. Mingo's 21-day window to be reinstated from injured reserve opened Oct. 1, and he would be forced to remain on IR for the rest of the season if he's not reinstated by the Cowboys prior to the window closing. Mingo's next opportunity to make his 2025 regular-season debut is Week 8 against the Broncos on Sunday, Oct. 26.
