Scandrick (groin) will not play in the Cowboys' preseason matchup with the Texans on Thursday, David Helman of DallasCowboys.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Scandrick returned to practice on Sunday after missing time last week due to a groin injury, but the team doesn't want him to play through any lingering pain and risk aggravating the injury prior to the regular season. He's still expected to play in Week 1. Look for Daxton Swanson and Deji Olatoye to see extra reps with Scandrick out.

Scandrick (groin) is unlikely to play in Thursday's preseason game at Seattle, Jon Machota of the Dallas Morning News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Although Scandrick's groin has held him out of practice the last two days, the Cowboys don't figure the injury to be too serious. In fact, Scandrick claims that Dallas is simply being cautious by keeping him on the sideline. The team reiterated Tuesday that Scandrick did not pull anything in his groin, but is rather just dealing with soreness. All bets are that the 29-year-old is 100 percent for the team's season opener.

Scandrick has looked good through the early part of training camp as he returns to action from a torn ACL, Bryan Broaddus of DallasCowboys.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Working in a two-minute drill Thursday, Scandrick has perfect position on Cole Beasley in the slot and broke up an attempted pass from Dak Prescott. Scandrick's loss last season was overshadowed by the Cowboys' other injuries, but their secondary and overall team defense will get a big boost with his return.

Scandrick (knee) has been medically cleared to resume all football activities, ESPN's Josina Anderson reports.
EDGE Analysis
Scandrick is in line to participate throughout training camp as he returns from a torn ACL, while it appears realistic he could be at 100% health by Week 1 of the regular season. The Cowboys' cornerback corps also includes Morris Claiborne and Brandon Carr, with Scandrick slated to fill in as the No. 3 option.

Scandrick (knee) declared, "I'll be totally fine. I see myself working my way into training camp and being full-go very, very soon," the Cowboys' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Scandrick supported his claim by pointing out that he'll be 13 months removed from the injury when the season begins. Wisely, the cornerback has been patient in his recovery this offseason and hasn't tried to force himself back into action, keeping his eyes on a healthy return to training camp. His return can only help Dallas' encore after allowing the fifth-least passing yards in the NFL during 2015.

Scandrick's recovery from a torn ACL is going well, ESPN's Todd Archer reports.
EDGE Analysis
While he could be healthy enough to participate in some offseason activities, the Cowboys plan on treating Scandrick much the same way they treated Sean Lee the year before as he recovered from his own torn ACL, with a focus on getting him ready for the start of training camp. Lee came back and played 14 games in 2015, missing one due to a concussion and the season finale with a hamstring strain, so the team is confident that with a similar program, Scandrick will be at full strength for Week 1.

Scandrick (knee) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, Ian Rapoport reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Scandrick out for the year due to a torn ACL, Morris Claiborne is expected to start outside, and Tyler Patmon is the favorite for slot duties. The injury could also lead to some extra snaps for first-round draft pick Byron Jones, who worked at both safety and cornerback during training camp.
