FRISCO, Texas – The Cowboys' lack of depth at cornerback has been no secret. Flooded with injuries before the start of camp to key players such as Trevon Diggs and Shavon Revel, the Cowboys have also lost a cornerback to an injury in each of the first two preseason games, even further creating a depth problem.
On Monday, the Cowboys have signed veteran Michael Ojemudia, who has played for three NFL teams but also had a standout season in the UFL.
Ojemudia, a third-round pick of the Broncos in 2020, has 13 career starts in his career, but hasn't played a regular-season game in the league since 2022, when he played in one game with the Bears. That season, Chicago's head coach was Matt Eberfllus, who is now the Cowboys' defensive coordinator.
Ojemudia also spent the 2023 season on the Rams practice squad and was with the Cardinals in the 2024 offseason and preseason.
To make room on the roster, the Cowboys placed cornerback Bruce Harmon on the waived/injured list. Harmon was injured in the middle of Saturday's game with the Ravens and did not return.
For this week's preseason finale against the Falcons, the Cowboys are running thin at cornerback once again. With veterans DaRon Bland and Kaiir Elam not expected to play, plus Caelen Carson still out with a knee injury, that leaves players such as Andrew Booth, Troy Pride, Kemon Hall, Zion Childress and Israel Mukuamu to man the position. Booth scored the Cowboys' only touchdown last week on a 40-yard interception return in the first quarter. But he's had his share of struggles in coverage as well and at this point, is not a lock to make the roster.
There aren't many locks at all at the cornerback spot, which is why the Cowboys continue to search for help. Ojemudia gives them some help but he might not be the last cornerback to walk through the doors here at The Star.
