The Dallas Cowboys continue to be ravaged by injuries. It was reported on Tuesday morning by ESPN’s Todd Archer that cornerback Caelen Carson suffered a hyperextended knee on Sunday (the first padded practice of training camp) and that he is set to miss 4-6 weeks.
Cowboys CB Caelen Carson suffered a hyperextended knee Sunday that will keep him out 4-6 weeks, according to sources. Thins out a position that’s been w/o Trevon Diggs, Shavon Revel, Josh Butler, who are on PUP/NFI, and DaRon Bland until Monday. Hence Christian Matthew addition.

As Archer notes, this makes the Cowboys’ Tuesday morning signing of Christian Matthew make a bit more sense.
