Cowboys Activate Perrion Winfrey's Practice Window, Bolstering Beleaguered Defense

The Dallas Cowboys have opened the 21-day practice window for defensive tackle Perrion Winfrey, signaling his return from injured reserve. The 25-year-old suffered a back injury in late August, leading to his placement on IR. Winfrey, a 2022 fourth-round pick by the Browns, played 13 games as a rookie but was cut in 2023 following a second off-field incident. He made one appearance for the Jets in 2023 and has not played a regular-season game since. His return offers potential help for a Cowboys defense that, despite ranking No. 2 in points and yards, is No. 31 in points and yards allowed. Dallas will play Arizona on Monday night before their Week 10 bye.
