Cowboys' Caelen Carson: Practices in full Wednesday
Rotowire
Carson (shoulder) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice session, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
Carson has missed the last two games due to a shoulder injury, but the rookie fifth-round pick appears past the issue. Barring any setbacks, he should make his return Sunday against the Lions and reclaim his starting spot at corner opposite Trevon Diggs. Carson has registered 15 tackles (14 solo) and two passes defended across three regular-season games.

Cowboys' Caelen Carson: Iffy for Week 5
Rotowire
Carson (shoulder) is questionable to face Pittsburgh on Sunday, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports.
Carson sat out Week 4 versus the Giants and logged a trio of limited practices during Week 5 prep, putting his status up in the air for Sunday. Trevon Diggs is also questionable for that contest, so Dallas' secondary could be without two starters. If that's the case, Andrew Booth and C.J. Goodwin could be asked to step up.

Cowboys' Caelen Carson: Opens week with limited work
Rotowire
Carson (shoulder) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
Carson was inactive for the Cowboys' Week 4 win over the Giants due to a shoulder injury, but he upgraded to limited participation Wednesday and appears to be trending in the right direction.

Cowboys' Caelen Carson: Likely missing Week 4
Rotowire
Carson (shoulder) is listed as doubtful ahead of Thursday night's game against the Giants, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.
Carson was held out of practice all week after seemingly sustaining a shoulder injury during the Cowboys' Week 3 loss to the Ravens. The rookie cornerback has been an important part of Dallas' secondary thus far, but if he's unable to suit up in Week 4 as expected, C.J. Goodwin projects to see more work with the Cowboys' first-team defense.
