The Cowboys signed Goodwin to their active roster Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
After being released Tuesday, the Cowboys signed Goodwin to the active roster Wednesday. The signing was made possible as the Cowboys moved two players to injured reserve, opening up a roster spot for the veteran cornerback. Goodwin should provide experienced depth in the Cowboys' defensive backfield in 2025.

Goodwin (pectoral) has participated in the Cowboys' mandatory minicamp, K.D. Drummond of USA Today reports.
EDGE Analysis
Goodwin had his 2023 campaign cut short due to a torn pectoral sustained last October, but the Cowboys still re-signed him on a one-year deal. The 34-year-old cornerback figures to spend the offseason battling for a role that would see him contribute almost exclusively on special teams.

The Cowboys re-signed Goodwin (pectoral) on a one-year deal Thursday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Goodwin sustained a torn pectoral in early October that forced him to miss all but five of the Cowboys' games in 2023, but it seems as if he's now past the issue. The 34-year-old cornerback was used almost exclusively on special teams last season, playing a total of 102 snaps (86 on special teams) and recording four total tackles. Expect Goodwin to compete for a similar role in Dallas' special-teams unit this offseason.

Goodwin (pectoral) will be out for the remainder of the season, Michael Gehlken of the Dallas Morning News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Goodwin was working to return this season by rehabbing his pec injury; however, the 33-year-old will undergo surgery this week to repair it. The injury was initially believed to be season-ending, so although the news does not come as a surprise, his absence for the remainder of the 2023 campaign will still be a blow to Dallas' special teams unit.

Goodwin suffered a torn pectoral in Sunday's loss to the 49ers and is expected to be out for the remainder of the season, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Goodwin suffered what was described at the time as a shoulder injury in the first half and was unable to return. The 33-year-old has been a special-teams standout for the Cowboys over the past several seasons, so his absence will be felt in that capacity.

Goodwin and the Cowboys agreed to a contract Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Goodwin has spent the last five seasons with the Cowboys and will now be returning for a sixth. The cornerback played exclusively on the special-teams unit in 2022, recording eight tackles and forcing a fumble. He'll likely slot into a similar role once again in 2023.
