The\u00a0Dallas Cowboys<\/a>\u00a0mined the NFC East rival Washington Commanders\u2019 practice squad to pluck a familiar name to plug a glaring hole as injuries take root along the front-seven.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wednesday,\u00a0the Cowboys signed Carlos Watkins off Washington\u2019s practice squad<\/a>, after having to place Jordan Phillips on injured reserve after he re-injured his wrist.<\/span>Advertisement<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Since Phillips is slated to miss at least four weeks, Watkins could wind up playing a vital role along Dallas\u2019 defensive line, beginning as soon as this Sunday when the Cowboys host the 0-2 Baltimore Ravens.<\/p>\n

Watkins, 30, returns to Dallas where he spent the 2021 and 2022 campaigns and racked up 58 total tackles with one sack and returned one interception for a touchdown.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The Cowboys are banking on Watkins providing some stability to a run-defense that was absolutely gashed by Alvin Kamara and the New Orleans Saints in Week 2, allowing 190 rushing yards in a blowout loss.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

With Lamar Jackson, Derrick Henry, and a desperate Ravens team looking for its first win, Watkins may be thrust into meaningful snaps immediately.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Here\u2019s how Cowboys fans reacted to the signing:<\/p>\n

Jerry signed Carlos Watkins to get to the superbowl<\/p>\n

Dallas really needs to try harder than adding Carlos Watkins to replace Phillips.<\/p>\n

They said all offseason that fixing the run defense was a top priority.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s looking like a \ud83d\udca9 right now.<\/p>\n
