News

  • Cleared to return

    Awuzie (head) was cleared and returned to Sunday's game against the Packers.

    Analysis: Awuzie exited the game in the first half with a head injury and was evaluated for a concussion. However, he cleared all testing and has been able to return to bolster the Bengals' secondary in the final two quarters.

  • Evaluated for concussion

    Awuzie is being evaluated for a concussion after exiting Sunday's game against the Packers.

    Analysis: Awuzie had been very active early in the game, logging four tackles and an interception prior to his exit. It's unclear whether he will be able to return, and Eli Apple will likely see a bigger role in Awuzie's absence.

  • Available Sunday

    Awuzie (groin) will play in Sunday's game against the Packers.

    Analysis: Awuzie missed last week's win over Jacksonville with a groin issue, but he shed his injury designation after he logged a full practice Friday. The 26-year-old has recorded nine tackles (seven solo) and three pass defenses across three appearances to begin the year.

  • Inactive Thursday

    Awuzie (groin) is inactive for Thursday night's game against the Jaguars, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    Analysis: Awuzie sustained a groin injury in Sunday's win over the Steelers, and he'll be held out of Thursday's matchup as a result. Eli Apple and Mike Hilton should see increased work against Jacksonville, while Awuzie's next chance to return will be Oct. 10 against Green Bay.

  • Dealing with groin injury

    Awuzie (groin) is questionable to return Sunday against the Steelers.

    Analysis: It remains to be seen whether the cornerback's injury is serious enough to keep him sidelined for the rest of the game. In case he can't return to action, then Mike Hilton or Darius Phillips would see an increased amount of snaps.

  • Thriving in camp

    Awuzie has been shutting down the Bengals' receivers all camp, looking more than adequate in filling the part vacated by William Jackson III when Jackson left via free agency, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Awuzie was limited to eight games last season with lower-body injuries and a trip to the COVID list, but in his previous three seasons he was a solid cover corner. So far Awuzie appears to be the version of the player that we saw in his first three years.

  • Joins Bengals on three-year deal

    Awuzie agreed to a three-year contract with the Bengals on Tuesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: The financial terms of the contract have yet to be disclosed, but Awuzie will add depth to Cincinnati's revamped secondary, which will also be adding former Steelers cornerback Mike Hilton. Awuzie had 38 tackles and five passes defensed with the Cowboys last season, needing just eight games to rack up those statistics.

  • Battles through tough season

    Awuzie recorded 38 tackles (29 solo) with five passes defended, an interception and a fumble recovery during eight games in 2020.

    Analysis: Lower-body issues and a brief stint on the COVID-19 list cost him half the year, but when he was on the field Awuzie delivered his usual rate of IDP production. The fourth-year corner is headed for free agency, and with the Cowboys bringing in a new defensive coordinator in Dan Quinn, it's not clear whether retaining the services of the 2017 second-round pick will be a priority this offseason.

  • Returns from COVID list

    Awuzie was activated off the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday.

    Analysis: Awuzie was placed on the list after being in close contact with an infected individual, but he has cleared the protocols necessary to return. Barring any setbacks in practice this week, the cornerback should be out there Sunday against San Francisco.

  • Expected to play Week 15

    Coach Mike McCarthy said Monday that Awuzie will be activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list soon, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Analysis: Awuzie was a high-risk close contact to an infected person, and he's cleared the necessary protocols to return to the team facilities. He's expected to practice Wednesday. Barring a setback, Awuzie should start at cornerback in Sunday's game against the 49ers. Through five games this season, Awuzie has allowed 215 yards and two touchdowns in coverage.

  • Shifts to COVID-19 list

    The Cowboys placed Awuzie (undisclosed) on the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Awuzie was placed on the list due to either testing positive for the virus or coming into close contact with someone who did. The Colorado product has been used in a starting role the past three games, racking up 20 tackles (15 solo) and a pass breakup over that span. If Awuzie is forced to miss Sunday's game against the Bengals, Deante Burton and C.J. Goodwin would be in line for an uptick in snaps.

  • Moves to active roster

    The Cowboys activated Awuzie (hamstring) from injured reserve Tuesday, Rob Phillips of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Awuzie has recovered from a severe hamstring injury, and he'll make his return to the lineup in Week 11 against the Vikings, his first appearance since Week 2. The Cowboys' defense could use the boost, as it's allowed a league-high 32.2 points per game this season. Awuzie should return to a starting role after allowing just 45.1 receiving yards per game in 2019.

  • May make it back against Steelers

    Coach Mike McCarthy said that Awuzie (hamstring) "was not quite ready" to be activated for Sunday night's 23-9 loss to the Eagles, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Analysis: Awuzie has been residing on injured reserve since Sept. 26, missing a total of six games for the Cowboys. Dallas' defense has been brutal this season, getting torched for 34 or more points in five outings already. The return of Awuzie would provide some relief for a Cowboys team that has lost five of its past six contests, and it seems that development is on the horizon with him being designated to return from IR on Oct. 22.

  • Shifting off IR

    Awuzie was designated to return from injured reserve Thursday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: The banged-up Cowboys secondary has performed pitifully this season, allowing the fourth-most passing touchdowns per game (2.3) and the fourth-most completions of 40-plus yards (five). Awuzie's pending return has a chance to sure up Dallas' back end, as he has held opponents to a sub-60 percent completion rate each of the past two seasons. Though Awuzie surrendered two passing TDs over his first two appearances of 2020 during Weeks 1 and 2, he did at least record an interception and two pass…read more

  • Placed on IR

    Awuzie (hamstring) was put on IR on Saturday.

    Analysis: The 2020 IR rules dictate that Awuzie will need to sit a minimum of three weeks before returning, so the soonest he could return to the field will be in Week 6 against the Cardinals. Saivion Smith was signed from the practice squad to fill the roster spot vacated by Awuzie.

  • Not suiting up Week 3

    Awuzie (hamstring) won't play Sunday in Seattle, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Analysis: Awuzie suffered a hamstring injury in the fourth quarter of the Cowboys' Week 2 win against the Falcons while working on special teams. After failing to practice all week, he'll yield his 86-percent snap share to some combination of Jourdan Lewis and Daryl Worley for at least one game and perhaps more.

  • Multi-week absence expected

    Awuzie (hamstring) is expected to miss multiple weeks, Rob Phillips of the Cowboys' official site reports.

    Analysis: It's never a good time to suffer an injury, but Awuzie's absence figures to be especially glaring with Russell Wilson and the high-flying Seahawks passing game on the schedule in Week 3. Given the multiweek timeline of his absence, the soonest Awuzie could realistically return to the field will be Week 5 against the Giants.

  • Done for day

    Awuzie (hamstring) is out for the remainder of Sunday's game against Atlanta, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Analysis: It's unclear how Awuize suffered the injury, but with the game seemingly out of reach, the team could elect to save the corner from further injury. As long as Awuize is sidelined, expect Jourdan Lewis to see an uptick in snaps.

  • Snags pick in Sunday's loss

    Awuzie recorded two tackles and his first interception of the season in Sunday's loss to the Rams.

    Analysis: He intercepted exactly one pass in each of his first three seasons in the NFL, and Awuzie took care of extending that streak very quickly in 2020, snagging a Jared Goff pass intended for rookie Van Jefferson in the third quarter. With free agency looming, Awuzie should be very motivated to make an impact this season, and a more aggressive defensive philosophy under new coordinator Mike Nolan should give him more chances to ball hawk than he had under Rod Marinelli's system.

  • Officially ready for Week 1

    Awuzie (leg) will play in Sunday's game versus the Rams, Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

    Analysis: Awuzie was expected to be available, but it's good news that it's official since Jourdan Lewis (ankle) has been ruled out. The 25-year-old cornerback may not be a starter Sunday with rookie Trevon Diggs on board, but Awuzie will likely still log a major workload after playing nearly every snap last season and recording 79 tackles, 14 pass breakups and an interception.

  • Practices in full

    Awuzie (leg) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

    Analysis: Awuzie suffered a leg injury late August, but he's already resumed practicing without restrictions. The 2017 second-round pick is on track to suit up Sunday night against the Rams. Coach Mike McCarthy alluded to the possibility of Awuzie taking snaps at both cornerback and safety earlier this offseason.

  • Held out Sunday

    Awuzie did not practice Sunday due to a leg injury, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Analysis: The severity of Awuzie's injury remains unclear, but there's not yet any reason to worry about his regular-season availability. With Jourdan Lewis (ankle) still not practicing and in a walking boot, however, the Cowboys will be forced to practice with a depleted cornerback group as long as Awuzie remains sidelined.

  • Could see snaps at safety

    Head coach Mike McCarthy said after the draft that he was comfortable with the Cowboys' flexibility in the secondary, and Awuzie would seem to be the most likely player to split time between corner and safety, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Dallas added two cornerbacks, including second-round pick Trevon Diggs, in the draft but didn't pick up a safety, but the team's new coach doesn't think lack of depth at the latter position will be an issue. "We may have some players that can not only play corner but can also slide over and play some safety," McCarthy said afterward. Awuzie was viewed as a possible corner/safety hybrid coming out of college, as he lined up all over the field in the Colorado defense, but so far he's played only…read more

  • Another solid season

    Awuzie finished the 2019 campaign with 79 tackles (48 solo), one interception on 14 passes defended and a fumble recovery.

    Analysis: The tackles and PDs were both career highs for the third-year corner, while his 87.2 QB rating allowed on 96 pass attempts sent his way was a slight improvement on his 2018 performance. Awuzie's efforts have made him a solid complement to Byron Jones in the Cowboys' secondary, but with Jones headed into free agency, Awuzie could find himself overmatched as the team's No. 1 cornerback in 2020 if Jones doesn't return or isn't replaced by another true shutdown CB.

  • Has thigh contusion

    Awuzie suffered a thigh contusion in Thursday's loss to the Bills, Brianna Dix of D210 Sports reports.

    Analysis: The team is optimistic Awuzie will be able to suit up Week 14 against the Bears. The 24-year-old has 60 tackles (36 solo), one interception and 10 pass breakups in 12 games this season.
