Cowboys' Shavon Revel: Season over due to concussion
Rotowire
Revel (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Giants, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
Revel was unable to practice all week due to the concussion he sustained in the Christmas Day win over the Commanders. After getting a late start to his rookie campaign due to an ACL tear he suffered in college, the cornerback will end the regular season with 35 tackles (23 solo) and three passes defensed over seven games. With Trevon Diggs recently waived by the Cowboys, the team will likely start Reddy Steward at outside cornerback opposite Caelen Carson and move Markquese Bell or Alijah Clark to slot cornerback for Sunday's game.

Rotowire
Revel (knee) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Chargers, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
Revel ended Week 16 prep with a full practice Friday, which was enough for the rookie third-rounder to avoid an injury tag for Sunday's contest.

Cowboys' Shavon Revel: Expected to play Week 11
Rotowire
Executive vice president Stephen Jones said Friday that Revel (knee) is expected to return from the reserve/non-football injury list ahead of the Cowboys' Week 11 clash against the Raiders on Monday, Nov. 17, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
Revel has been limited in practice since he was designated to return from the NFI list Oct. 22. He won't be activated ahead of Sunday's game against the Cardinals, but with the Cowboys on a bye Week 10, the rookie third-rounder will have additional time to progress in his rehab and be available for Week 11. Revel's return would bolster a Cowboys secondary that will be without starting corner Trevon Diggs (knee) until at least Week 13 against the Chiefs on Thursday, Nov. 27.

Cowboys' Shavon Revel: Unlikely to play in season opener
Rotowire
Revel (knee) is unlikely to be ready for the start of the regular season, Joe Hoyt of The Dallas Morning News reports.
The cornerback continues to rehab an ACL that he tore last September while playing for East Carolina. Revel fell to the 76th pick in the draft as a result of the injury and began training camp on the active/non-football injury list. Once healthy, Revel should have an opportunity to carve out a meaningful role in the Cowboys' secondary.

Revel dropped to 76th overall in the 2025 NFL Draft due to a torn ACL which he suffered in September.

Cowboys' Shavon Revel: Slide ends in Dallas
Rotowire
The Cowboys selected Revel (knee) in the third round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 76th overall.
If not for a torn ACL this fall, Revel could have heard his name called much earlier. He showed sticky coverage ability and playmaking ability while at East Carolina and checks in with good size for a corner (6-foot-1, 194 pounds). The torn ACL isn't the only injury on his record, so durability is a concern. The hope is that Revel will be ready to go by training camp, but that remains to be seen. Regardless, Dallas is getting a Top 50 talent at a discount.
