Rotowire
Golston (neck) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Packers.

He'll miss a fifth consecutive game as a result of his injury, and his next opportunity to play is Week 12 against the Lions on Sunday, Nov. 23. With Golston and Kayvon Thibodeaux (shoulder) both ruled out, Abdul Carter, Victor Dimukeje and Tomon Fox are all candidates for increased snaps at linebacker alongside Brian Burns.

Giants' Chauncey Golston: Inactive for Week 3
Rotowire
Golston (ankle) is inactive for Sunday night's contest against the Chiefs, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Golston will be forced to miss Week 3 while dealing with an apparent ankle injury. The linebacker combined to play 32 defensive snaps over the team's first two games of the year, so his absence doesn't carry a massive impact.

Cowboys' Chauncey Golston: Strong finish to season
Rotowire
Golston recorded three tackles, including 1.5 sacks, in Sunday's loss to the Commanders.
The fourth-year defensive end had something of a breakout campaign in 2024, finishing with career highs in tackles (56) and sacks (5.5), and 3.5 of those sacks came in the final four weeks of the season. Golston, a third-round pick in 2021, may have played well enough to earn himself a big contract and a starting role with another team in 2025 as he heads into free agency, but Dallas may not make a strong push to bring him back with an extension to Micah Parsons to worry about, and Sam Williams (knee) and Marshawn Kneeland expected to fill supporting roles in the pass rush.

Cowboys' Chauncey Golston: Sacks Mayfield in close Week 16 win
Rotowire
Golston registered six tackles (three solo), including 1.0 sacks, and one pass defense in Sunday's 26-24 win over the Buccaneers.
Golston took down Baker Mayfield for a five-yard loss midway through the second quarter, and the former has now registered at least 1.0 sacks in two straight games. Golston has started at defensive end since Week 5 due to DeMarcus Lawrence (foot) being on injured reserve. Over that span, Golston has registered 41 tackles (22 solo), including 3.0 sacks, four pass defenses (including one interception) and one fumble recovery across 11 games.

Cowboys' Chauncey Golston: Returns to Sunday's game
Rotowire
Golston has returned to Sunday's Week 12 contest against the Commanders after temporarily exiting in the first quarter due to dehydration, Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
Golston went to the locker room briefly but was able to re-enter the game in the second quarter. He made a big play soon after his return, ripping the ball out of Washington running back Brian Robinson's grasp for an interception that he advanced 18 yards.

Cowboys' Chauncey Golston: Exits due to dehydration
Rotowire
Golston is questionable to return to Sunday's Week 12 game against Washington due to dehydration, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
Golston headed to the locker room in the first quarter and was subsequently deemed questionable to return. The fourth-year pro has been a staple on Dallas' D-line of late, logging at least 82 percent of the team's defensive snaps in four straight contests following the Cowboys' Week 7 bye. Carl Lawson and Marshawn Kneeland could get increased work if Golston is unable to return Sunday.

Golston (ankle) performed well during OTAs, David Helman of the Cowboys' official site reports.
Golston underwent ankle surgery in January but was back on the field during OTAs.

Cowboys' Chauncey Golston: Practices in pads for first time
Rotowire
Golston (hamstring) fully participated in his first padded practice in the NFL on Friday, but he doesn't appear likely to play in a game anytime soon, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Coach Mike McCarthy said Golston is progressing well, but he thinks the Cowboys have to be "practical" with where he is at. The rookie third-round pick missed all of training camp with a hamstring injury, and he is unlikely to suit up for the second straight regular-season game.
