As the Dallas Cowboys prepare for the 2026 NFL season, they are entering the week with a mostly healthy roster. The team has been fortunate to avoid significant injuries during the offseason and hopes to maintain this trend throughout the year.

Currently, defensive lineman Jonathan Bullard is recovering from an abs/groin injury. Reports indicate he participated in rehab work as of September 1, suggesting he could potentially be available for the season opener, though he might require more time to fully recuperate.

Guard Ajani Cornelius, who has shown potential in training camp, is also on the mend. He was absent from practice on September 2 but was seen engaging in rehab activities on September 1, indicating he might be ready for Week 1, contingent on his recovery progress.

Additionally, linebacker Marist Liufau and cornerback Devin Moore have been placed on injured reserve. Liufau sustained a fractured forearm during the preseason finale and underwent surgery, while Moore is recovering from a hip injury following previous groin issues. Both players will miss at least the first month of the season. Updates on Bullard and Cornelius are expected as the week continues.
