Jonathan Mingo faces roster uncertainty with Cowboys ahead of training camp
Summary

Jonathan Mingo, the Dallas Cowboys’ wide receiver, is entering a critical training camp in 2026 as he battles for a spot on the roster. Acquired via a trade that sent a fourth-round pick to the Carolina Panthers, Mingo has struggled, making only one catch last season after being limited to six games. With other notable receivers returning, including CeeDee Lamb, Mingo is at risk of being cut if he does not show significant improvement. A pay cut earlier this spring reflects the team’s hope to keep him in the system for another chance to contribute on the field.
