Records six tackles in win
Revel finished with six tackles (two solo) in Thursday's 31-28 win over the Chiefs.
ANALYSIS
The cornerback also played on 95 percent of the defensive snaps with Caelen Carson out due to a hamstring injury.

Practices in full
Revel (knee) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegramreports.
ANALYSIS
Revel, a third-round rookie, is eligible to make his NFL debut against the Raiders on Monday and likely will as long as he is able to continue to string practices together. If the rookie cornerback is set to suit up for Monday's primetime game he will likely share snaps with Kaiir Elam.

Revel started the regular season on the reserve/non-football injured list while recovering from a torn ACL that he sustained during his final collegiate season at East Carolina in September of 2024. Revel was limited in practice during Week 9 prep, and with the Cowboys on the bye Week 10, he'll have additional time to progress in his recovery and be available for Week 11 in Las Vegas.

He won't activated ahead of Sunday's game against the Cardinals, but with the Cowboys on a bye Week 10, the rookie third-rounder will have additional time to progress in his rehab and be available for Week 11.

ANALYSIS
Revel continues to recover from a torn ACL that he suffered in September of 2024. He was cleared to return to practice Oct. 22 after starting the 2025 season on the non-football injury list, but he'll need to log full practices before the Cowboys activate him from the NFI list.

ANALYSIS

Designated to return
Revel (knee) was designated to return from the reserve/non-football injury list Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Revel tore his ACL in September of 2024 and has yet to play for the Cowboys this season, but it now appears he's nearing a return. The 2025 third-round pick from East Carolina recorded 54 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and 13 passes defended, with one interception, over 12 games during his last full collegiate season (2023). He now has 21 days to be added to Dallas' active roster and will likely operate as a depth piece in the secondary once fully healthy.

Sent to reserve/NFI list
The Cowboys placed Revel (ACL) on the reserve/non-football injury list Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Revel will be required to miss the first four games of the regular season, at least, as he continues to work his way back from a torn ACL suffered last September during his final collegiate season at East Carolina. Once healthy, the rookie third-round pick is expected to compete for a significant role in the Cowboys' secondary, but he'll have to wait until after Week 4 at the earliest to resume practicing.

Unlikely to play in season opener
Revel (knee) is unlikely to be ready to play by the time Dallas' regular season begins in Philadelphia on Sept. 4, Joe Hoyt of The Dallas Morning News reports.
ANALYSIS
The cornerback continues to rehab an ACL that he tore last September while playing for East Carolina. Revel fell to the 76th pick in the draft as a result of the injury and began training camp on the active/non-football injury list. In an undefined Dallas secondary, Revel should be able to compete for snaps and a role upon his return.

Starting training camp on NFI list
Revel (knee) was placed on the active/non-football injury list Monday, Calvin Watkins of the Dallas Morning News reports.
ANALYSIS
Revel dropped to 76th overall in the 2025 NFL Draft due to a torn ACL which he suffered in September. His camp has been optimistic about gaining clearance at some point during training camp, but Revel isn't quite ready to begin football activities at the start of training camp. It remains to be seen whether he'll be healthy in time to play Week 1 against the Eagles on Sept. 4.
Apr 26, 2025
Will begin camp on PUP list
Executive Vice President Stephen Jones said Saturday that Revel (knee) will begin training camp on the PUP list, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.
ANALYSIS
Revel was taken by the Cowboys in the third round of the 2025 NFL Draft, though he could have been selected much sooner had it not been for a torn ACL injury that he suffered in November. Revel's chances of being active for Week 1 appear to be slim, but he should be cleared to play during the first half of the 2025 regular season.
Apr 25, 2025
Slide ends in Dallas
The Cowboys selected Revel (knee) in the third round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 76th overall.
ANALYSIS
If not for a torn ACL this fall, Revel could have heard his name called much earlier. He showed sticky coverage ability and playmaking ability while at East Carolina and checks in with good size for a corner (6-foot-1, 194 pounds). The torn ACL isn't the only injury on his record, so durability is a concern. The hope is that Revel will be ready to go by training camp, but that remains to be seen. Regardless, Dallas is getting a Top 50 talent at a discount.
