The 2024 season has been one to forget for the Dallas Cowboys and there are still eight games left. The Cowboys sit with a 3-6 record but have dropped four games in a row.
The season already looks lost but the Cowboys have an offensive lineman who appears close to making his 2024 debut.
According to Todd Archer, the Cowboys have opened up the practice window for OT Chuma Edoga. He’s been sidelined since training camp with a toe injury. They now have 21 days to either activate him to the active roster or put him back on IR for the remainder of the season.
Edoga joined Dallas last season, where he suited up in all 17 games and made six starts. He logged 420 total snaps in 2023, logging a 61.4 overall grade per PFF. The USC product gave up 16 pressures with three sacks allowed.
The 27-year-old’s return may have come at the right time. Rookie tackle Tyler Guyton is dealing with a shoulder injury that has cost him two games this season.
Even when he was on the field, the Oklahoma product struggled immensely. Guyton has allowed 19 pressures and gave up four sacks in 2024. He needs to improve his play, and having Edoga potentially take his spot when he’s activated could be an option.
The Cowboys will be looking to see what players can stick around in 2025 and Edoga may have his chance to prove himself.
