What happened: Dallas has used 12 defensive backs through three weeks. Caelen Carson, Ameer Speed and Reddy Stewart combined for four snaps in the first two games, then 27 against Baltimore.
Why it matters: The surge reflects attrition that has pushed end-of-roster players into regular rotation. That workload tests coverage matchups against starting receivers. Dallas Cowboys depth remains under strain until starters return.
By the numbers: 12 defensive backs have taken snaps; Carson, Speed and Stewart: 4 total snaps in first two games, 27 vs. Ravens.
What to watch: Watch practice participation and any secondary additions before the next game.
