Matthew exited Saturday's preseason game against the Ravens with a groin injury, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old signed with the Cowboys last month and is competing for one of the final roster spots in the Dallas secondary. A seventh-round pick by the Cardinals in the 2022 Draft, Matthew didn't play in a regular-season game last season after being placed on injured reserve by the Ravens prior to Week 1.

EDGE Analysis
Matthew is fully healthy after having spent the entire 2024 season on IR with Baltimore. Between Arizona and Chicago, Matthew previously appeared in six regular-season games in 2023, and he suited up for 14 regular-season contests as a rookie with the Cardinals in 2022.

The Ravens did not tender Matthew (undisclosed) by Wednesday, making him an unrestricted free agent, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old cornerback missed all of Baltimore's 2024 campaign on injured reserve due to an undisclosed injury sustained in August. However, he now appears to have moved past the issue. Matthew last appeared in six regular-season games with the Cardinals and Bears in 2023, recording one solo tackle while playing strictly on special teams (97 snaps).
