Revel logged six tackles (four solo) during the Cowboys' 44-30 loss to the Lions on Thursday.
The rookie third-rounder finished with the third-most tackles on the Cowboys behind DaRon Bland and DeMarvion Overshown (seven each). Revel struggled on coverage and was unable to recover enough in his zone assignment to break up a 12-yard touchdown pass from Jared Goff to Isaac TeSlaa early in the third quarter. Revel has accumulated 15 takcles (nine solo) and one pass defense through four regular-season games.

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: Designated to return
Rotowire
Revel (knee) was designated to return from the reserve/non-football injury list Wednesday.
Revel tore his ACL in September of 2024 and has yet to play for the Cowboys this season, but it now appears he's nearing a return. The 2025 third-round pick from East Carolina recorded 54 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and 13 passes defended, with one interception, over 12 games during his last full collegiate season (2023). He now has 21 days to be added to Dallas' active roster and will likely operate as a depth piece in the secondary once fully healthy.

Cowboys' Shavon Revel: Sent to reserve/NFI list
Rotowire
The Cowboys placed Revel (ACL) on the reserve/non-football injury list Tuesday.
Revel will be required to miss the first four games of the regular season, at least, as he continues to work his way back from a torn ACL suffered last September during his final collegiate season at East Carolina. Once healthy, the rookie third-round pick is expected to compete for a significant role in the Cowboys' secondary, but he'll have to wait until after Week 4 at the earliest to resume practicing.

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.

Cowboys' Shavon Revel: Starting training camp on NFI list
Rotowire
Revel (knee) was placed on the active/non-football injury list Monday, Calvin Watkins of the Dallas Morning News reports.
Revel dropped to 76th overall in the 2025 NFL Draft due to a torn ACL which he suffered in September. His camp has been optimistic about gaining clearance at some point during training camp, but Revel isn't quite ready to begin football activities at the start of training camp. It remains to be seen whether he'll be healthy in time to play Week 1 against the Eagles on Sept. 4.

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.
