2026 Week 5 Cowboys Injury Report: Jonathan Mingo Questionable, CeeDee Lamb Clear
Mingo's illness popped up Wednesday and puts his Thursday Night Football status in doubt.
According to ProFootballTalk (NBC Sports), the Cowboys have added wide receiver Jonathan Mingo to Wednesday's injury report with an illness. He did not practice and is listed as questionable for Thursday Night Football. That's an extremely short turnaround — if he can't go Thursday, there's no extra day to recover.

Mingo's illness designation is a same-day concern on a short week, which makes him a genuine game-time question mark with almost no time to clear. If you're starting him in PPR (point-per-reception) leagues, you're banking on him practicing or at least being active Thursday — which is far from confirmed right now. Have a handcuff ready. The good news for Dallas's passing game overall: CeeDee Lamb (thigh) carries no injury designation after full practices all week, so the top target is good to go regardless of Mingo's status.
The Cowboys also ruled out cornerback Cobie Durant (hamstring), linebacker DeMarvion Overshown (hamstring), and offensive tackle Drew Shelton (hamstring) — none of whom carry direct fantasy relevance in standard formats. Left guard Tyler Smith (thumb surgery) is listed as questionable but trending toward his 2026 debut after a full practice Wednesday, per the report.
