Dallas will have linebacker Barron on its 53-player roster and cornerback Reddy Steward available for the game against the Baltimore Ravens in Rio de Janeiro. Barron appeared in the previous game as a temporary promotion from the practice squad before joining the active roster, adding depth while DeMarvion Overshown is sidelined.

Steward was brought up from the practice squad for the Ravens matchup. He handled substantial defensive work for Dallas in 2025 as a nickel cornerback and also took occasional snaps at safety. His ability to cover both roles gives Dallas another secondary option alongside safeties Jalen Thompson, Caleb Downs, Markquese Bell and Alijah Clark.

Four Cowboys players will miss the game. Safety P.J. Locke is headed to injured reserve because of the foot injury he suffered against Washington, a move that keeps him out for at least four more weeks.

Safety Malik Hooker, recovering from a fractured forearm, also remains unavailable. Overshown has a hamstring injury, while cornerback Cobie Durant is out with a hamstring issue. Durant had been a starter and was hurt in Dallas’ Week 2 win over Washington.

Linebackers Jaishawn Barham and Dee Winters were injured in that game but finished it. The Dallas Cowboys’ official website reported the roster updates.
