Cowboys' Jalen Tolbert: Snags TD in Sunday's loss
Jalen Tolbert caught three of six targets for 19 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-21 loss to the Falcons.While he didn't generate much yardage, Tolbert salvaged his day with a four-yard TD late in the fourth quarter. The pass came from Cooper Rush and not Dak Prescott (hamstring), and with Prescott headed for an MRI on Monday, there's a real chance Rush could get the start in Week 10 against the Eagles. CeeDee Lamb was also nursing a sore shoulder late in Sunday's loss, so the Dallas Cowboys' passing game could look very different for that key divisional matchup.

Cowboys' Jalen Tolbert: Three grabs against 49ers
Jalen Tolbert caught all three of his targets for 44 yards in Sunday's 30-24 loss to the 49ers.Tolbert tied teammate CeeDee Lamb in snaps (55), operating as the Dallas Cowboys' clear No. 2 wideout. Sunday marked the sixth time in seven games in which the 25-year-old Tolbert recorded at least three catches. With the Cowboys facing a favorable passing game schedule down the stretch, its possible that the third-year receiver could see his role grow and have a more consistent impact. With that said, veteran Brandin Cooks (knee) is likely nearing a return from injured reserve, which could put a cap on Tolbert's upside. Up next for the Cowboys is a Week 9 matchup against the Saints.

Cowboys' Jalen Tolbert: Four receptions in blowout loss
Jalen Tolbert recorded four receptions on five targets for 43 yards in Sunday's 47-9 loss to the Lions.The Dallas Cowboys struggled to get their offense going throughout the game, which hurt Tolbert's stat line. He still managed to finish second on the team in yards thanks to a 26-yard reception midway through the first quarter. Dallas will head into its bye week, but Tolbert should keep his role as a key pass catcher in a Week 8 matchup against the 49ers.

Cowboys' Jalen Tolbert: Steps up in Sunday's win
Jalen Tolbert finished with seven receptions (10 targets) for 87 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Steelers.Tolbert saw his role on offense increase with Brandin Cooks (knee) unavailable Sunday. The former wound up being the hero of Sunday's victory by catching the game-winning touchdown pass with seconds remaining in regulation. Even more impressive is the fact that Tolbert appeared to injure his hand on the previous play, forcing Dallas to use its final timeout so the wideout could remain in the game. Cooks was shifted to injured reserve this weekend, so Tolbert could solidify his grip on the No. 2 behind CeeDee Lamb over the next few weeks, assuming the third-year wideout's injury is minor.

Cowboys' Jalen Tolbert: Should benefit from Cooks' absence
Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy suggested Wednesday that Jalen Tolbert could be in line for an increased role on offense with Brandin Cooks (knee) ruled out for Sunday's game against the Steelers, and possibly longer, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports. "I love the guys we have here," McCarthy said. "The two Jalens [Tolbert and Jalen Brooks], this is more opportunities for them, [KaVontae] Turpin. Yeah, love our practice squad guys. We'll be in good shape [at receiver]."Tolbert has already been a regular fixture in three-receiver sets this season, with his snap shares ranging from 67 to 85 percent through four games. While Cooks' absence may not necessarily lead to a dramatic spike in playing time for Tolbert, the 4.8 targets per contest that Cooks had been averaging could be redistributed to Tolbert and others. CeeDee Lamb and tight end Jake Ferguson will likely continue to rank as quarterback Dak Prescott's preferred options in the passing game, but with none of the team's running backs representing major receiving threats, Tolbert could emerge as the clear No. 3 target sans Cooks.

Cowboys' Jalen Tolbert: Three catches in win
Jalen Tolbert brought in all three targets for 24 yards in the Dallas Cowboys' 20-15 win over the Giants on Thursday night.Tolbert was a distant third to CeeDee Lamb and Jake Ferguson in the pass-catching hierarchy, but he notably recorded two more receptions and eight more yards than No. 2 receiver Brandin Cooks. Tolbert now has more receptions and receiving yards than Cooks in three straight games, while the former's 17 targets over that span also notably outpace the latter's 12 in the same span. It remains to be seen if there will be any official depth chart swap between the two wideouts, but either way, Tolbert figures to have a modest but reliable role in a Week 5 road matchup against the Steelers on Sunday, Oct. 6.

Cowboys' Jalen Tolbert: Hauls in first TD of season
Jalen Tolbert caught three of five targets for 42 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's loss to the Ravens.The third-year wideout was on the other end of Dak Prescott's first TD pass of the game, a 15-yard strike midway through the fourth quarter as the Dallas Cowboys tried to rally from a 28-6 deficit. Tolbert has out-produced Brandin Cooks in back-to-back games, and through three weeks the younger player has a 10-136-1 line on 16 targets compared to Cooks' 8-75-1 line on 15 targets. Tolbert could continue to push for the team's No. 2 receiver role Week 4 against the Giants.

Cowboys' Jalen Tolbert: Career-best performance in loss
Jalen Tolbert caught six of nine targets for 82 yards in Sunday's 44-19 loss to the Saints.The third-year wideout led the Dallas Cowboys in targets on the afternoon, and his receptions and yardage were both career highs. Tolbert had a quiet performance in the team's opener, but his usage Sunday dwarfed Brandin Cooks, who saw only two targets, and is a good sign that the 2022 third-round pick could be headed for a breakout campaign. Tolbert will attempt to build on this effort in Week 3 against the Ravens.

Cowboys' Jalen Tolbert: Held out of preseason
Jalen Tolbert didn't suit up for any of Dallas' preseason contests this year.Dak Prescott and the rest of the team's first-string players were kept out of the preseason entirely, with Tolbert counting among that group. The 2022 third-round pick could be poised for a big role to begin the season with CeeDee Lamb still holding out and Brandin Cooks (knee) not 100 percent, as Tolbert looks to build on the 22-268-2 line on 36 targets he compiled over 17 regular-season games last year.

Cowboys' Jalen Tolbert: Shining in camp
Jalen Tolbert has been one of the most impressive players so far in the Dallas Cowboys' training camp, Nick Harris of the team's website reports.With CeeDee Lamb holding out while seeking a contract extension, Tolbert has used the available first-team reps to solidify his hold on the WR3 job. The third-year player out of South Alabama was the wideout who worked with Dak Prescott the most this offseason, and the duo is flashing much-improved chemistry in camp. If Lamb's holdout extends into the regular season, or he has a slow start due to the time he missed, Tolbert seems positioned to burst out of the gates on the 2024 campaign.
