Cowboys' Cornerback Shuffle: Revel's Spot in Jeopardy

0:00On March 30, Dallas Cowboys got some defensive headaches heading into 2026, especially at cornerback where depth is thin. They added Kobe Durantza help, but Durant bland injuries leave questions, and now coach Brian Shottenheimer says they won bland playing outside. Not in the slot where he's thrived. That shift comes after Shottenheimer noted Nickel Corner is still a big need before the NFL draft. Dallas guys like Durant, Jalen Thompson, and PJ Lot could fill the slot, shaking up the plans. For second year player Shavon Revel, this is Rough News. He spent almost all his rookie snaps on the boundary last year, and with bland outside, Revel might get squeezed out of a starting gig. Dallas could draft the boundary corner like LSU's Mansour Delane in the first round to pair with bland, then grab a nickel later or lean on Durant over. Revel. Revel spot looks shaky with all these moves brewing. Cowboys prioritizing bland outside means tough competition ahead for the young corner.
