Booth finished Sunday's 41-7 loss to Philadelphia with six tackles (three solo) and one pass defense.

EDGE Analysis

Booth got the start at outside corner Sunday due to the absence of Amani Oruwariye (foot). Booth finished with a season-high in tackles, but he struggled in coverage against DeVonta Smith, with the Eagles' wideout finishing with six catches (on seven targets) for 120 yards and two touchdowns. Booth and the Cowboys' defense will look to bounce back in the regular-season finale against the Commanders next Sunday.

The Cowboys waived Booth on Tuesday, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Booth has appeared in just three games through nine weeks this season, and now he'll have to part ways with Dallas. He's recorded six tackles (five solo) in 35 defensive snaps in 2024.

The Cowboys acquired Booth via trade from Minnesota in exchange for Nahshon Wright on Friday, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Booth will make his way to Dallas after serving in a supplementary cornerback role with the Vikings in the 2023 season. The 6-foot defensive back is likely to compete against rookie Eric Scott for a backup spot behind Trevon Diggs on the Cowboys' depth chart.

Booth did not have a tackle and played all his 11 snaps on special teams in Sunday's loss to Tampa Bay.

EDGE Analysis

Booth was expected to be fighting for a starting cornerback job by now as a 2022 second-round draft pick, but he had an underwhelming preseason and looks relegated to special teams.

Booth (knee) has been participating in OTAs, Will Ragatz of Sports Illustrated reports.

EDGE Analysis

Booth had an injury-plagued rookie season and struggled in coverage in his limited opportunities on the field. He registered 12 total tackles in just six games last season and was placed on injured reserve in November after having surgery on his meniscus. The 2021 second-round pick out of Clemson appears to have moved past his procedure and will now compete for an increased role in the Vikings' cornerback corps as he enters his second year in the NFL.

Booth (knee) is doing well in his recovery from knee surgery, and should be ready for training camp, head coach Kevin O'Connell said Thursday, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Booth underwent surgery in November and is expected to be limited during OTAs. However, if he can be healthy by training camp, he should be able to begin the 2023 campaign on time. The 2022 second-round selection made six appearances last season for the Vikings, recording 12 tackles.

Booth was placed on injured reserve Wednesday after having surgery on his injured meniscus.

EDGE Analysis

Booth's injury comes as a major blow to the Vikings, making an injury-riddled secondary even thinner. The rookie cornerback is expected to miss the remainder of the regular season but could potentially return for the playoffs. Booth's presence will be greatly missed this week against the Jets, who's passing game looked red-hot in the win over the Bears.

Booth (knee) will not return this season, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Booth had surgery Monday to repair his knee, and initially it was believed there was a chance he could return in January. However, it appears after the procedure was completed it was determined that would not be possible. The second-round rookie selection will now turn his focus to being ready for the 2023 campaign. Kris Boyd will be a candidate to see increased opportunity with Booth sidelined.

Coach Kevin O'Connell said Monday that Booth (knee) will "more than likely" head to injured reserve after having undergone knee surgery, Chris Tomasson of the Pioneer Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

O'Connell said Booth's injury is "either going to be something that potentially ends his season" or a situation that could see him return "at some point in January." The rookie second-round pick began earning a role on defense starting Week 10, and he notched 12 total tackles in his last two games played. Starting with Sunday's game against the Jets, and as long as Booth remains out, Kris Boyd will likely handle an increased defensive role.

Booth will undergo a procedure on his knee Monday, the significance of which won't be determined until post-surgery, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

The surgeon needs to be able to access the knee before determining what specific procedure Booth will undergo, potentially ending his season after he popped up on the injury report in Week 12. The rookie made 12 tackles over the last two weeks prior to being absent Thursday, and Kris Boyd will likely see a slight uptick in usage moving forward in Booth's absence.
