Cornerback has not been a position of depth for the Dallas Cowboys early in training camp. Multiple guys are going through long-term injuries. Rookie Shavon Revel is one of them, recovering from a torn ACL he suffered while at East Carolina.

From the get-go, the Cowboys have been optimistic about Revel getting back sooner rather than let. But on Thursday, Revel’s father provided an update on when his son could be back on the practice field. It could be another two months due to the knee issue.

“Right now, just take your time,” his father said Thursday via 105.3 The Fan in Dallas. “They’ll probably get him out there and work the next six to eight weeks. Do what they need to do in order to get stronger, get acclimated to the system. Once he gets acclimated, probably seeing, I’m predicting, six to eight weeks.”

With the early end being six weeks, that would have Revel practicing just before the Cowboys take on the Chicago Bears in Week 3. If he need the extra 14 days, Dallas is scheduled to face the New York Jets on Oct. 5. However, as Revel’s father mentioned, getting acclimated to the NFL is going to take some time. The cornerback might need to get up to speed before officially taking a competitive snap for the Cowboys.
