The Dallas Cowboys have made several roster changes before their game against the Baltimore Ravens in Rio de Janeiro, including placing safety P.J. Locke on injured reserve with a foot injury. Locke was hurt in the game against the Washington Commanders, and the move means he is expected to miss at least four more weeks before he can return.
Dallas also signed linebacker Logan Barron to its 53-man roster after using him as a game-day elevation from the practice squad in the previous game. The move provides additional linebacker depth with DeMarvion Overshown sidelined by a hamstring injury. Jaishawn Barham and Dee Winters were also dealing with injuries after the Commanders game but finished that contest.
Cornerback Reddy Steward was elevated from the practice squad for the Ravens matchup. Steward played significant snaps for Dallas in 2025 as a nickel cornerback and occasionally as a safety, giving the team another option in the secondary.
The Cowboys will be without several defensive players. Overshown and starting cornerback Cobie Durant, who has a hamstring injury, were ruled out of the trip to Brazil. Safety Malik Hooker is also unavailable while recovering from a fractured forearm, and the source said his return could come no earlier than Week 4 against the Houston Texans, though that timing remains uncertain.
With Locke and Hooker unavailable, Dallas still has safeties Jalen Thompson, Caleb Downs, and Markquese Bell, while Alijah Clark and Steward are available as additional options. Further details were not provided.
