2025 Fantasy Outlook
A fifth-round pick in 2024 out of Wake Forest, Carson played only six games as a rookie due to shoulder woes that eventually required surgery in December. He looked healthy during the offseason program but suffered a hyperextended knee in late July that's expected to sideline him 4-to-6 weeks. With Trevon Diggs and 2025 third-round pick Shavon Revel both looking iffy for Week 1, though, Carson could be leaned on for significant snaps early in the season, assuming he's healthy.

Signed a four-year, $4.27 million contract with the Cowboys in May of 2024.
Tagged as questionable Week 16
Carson (shoulder/hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Carson was limited in practice all week due to shoulder and hamstring injuries, and his status for Sunday's game may not be officially known until the Cowboys announce their list of inactive players approximately 90 minutes before the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. Daron Bland (foot) has already been ruled out, and if Carson joins the former on the sidelines for Week 16, then Trikweze Bridges, C.J. Goodwin and rookie third-rounder Shavon Revel would be slated to see more defensive snaps at outside corner.
