P.J. Locke III activated from IR ahead of Cowboys-Cardinals matchup

The Dallas Cowboys have activated safety P.J. Locke III from injured reserve ahead of their Week 8 game against the Arizona Cardinals. Locke, 29, had been sidelined due to a torn plantar fascia sustained in a Week 2 victory over the Washington Commanders. While his specific role with the team remains unclear, he is expected to provide depth as the Cowboys' defense continues to rely on other safeties. The Cowboys also promoted tight end James Mitchell from the practice squad to bolster their lineup.
