Jonathan Mingo's Future in Dallas Uncertain Following Latest Injury

Cowboys Linebacker Suffers Setback in Recovery from Torn Meniscus

Return to Field Remains a Question Mark

The Dallas Cowboys' hopes of having Jonathan Mingo back on the field anytime soon have been dealt a setback, as the linebacker has suffered a setback in his recovery from a torn meniscus.

Mingo, who signed with the Cowboys in March after spending the previous season with the Carolina Panthers, was placed on injured reserve in early September after suffering the injury in a preseason game.

At the time, the Cowboys were hopeful that Mingo would be able to return to the field in 6-8 weeks. However, his recovery has taken longer than expected, and it is now unclear when he will be able to play again.

Mingo's absence has been a blow to the Cowboys' defense, which has struggled to generate pressure on the quarterback this season. The Cowboys rank 29th in the NFL in sacks, and their defense has allowed the most points per game in the league.

If Mingo is unable to return this season, the Cowboys will likely have to look to other players to fill his role. One option could be rookie linebacker Micah Parsons, who has impressed in limited action this season.

The Cowboys are also hoping to get DeMarcus Lawrence back from injury soon. Lawrence, who has been out since Week 1 with a broken foot, is one of the Cowboys' best pass rushers.

The Cowboys are currently 2-4 on the season and in danger of missing the playoffs for the second straight year. The addition of Mingo and Lawrence could help the Cowboys turn their season around, but it remains to be seen when those players will be able to return.
