Cornerback Depth A question mark over a short week

Brown spent three reserve / injured games with a rib injury earlier this season.

The cornerback got a bit healthier last week when Chidobe Awuzie (hamstring) returned from a nearly two month stint in reserve / injured. But the Cowboys had to revisit the depth chart on Sunday, turning to Rashard Robinson – high on the practice squad on Saturday – for his first game of the season.

If Brown is limited or unable to play on Thursday, the Cowboys could look to raise Robinson again. Saivion Smith (who played in Week 9 against Pittsburgh) is also on the practice squad, along with cornerbacks Deante Burton and Chris Westry.

The Cowboys are already without rookie rookie Trevon Diggs, who broke a bone in his foot on November 8 against the Steelers and could miss 4-6 weeks. McCarthy said “there’s definitely a chance” Diggs could come back later this season.
