Jalen Brooks

WR Jalen Brooks caught 2-of-2 targets for 49 yards in the Cowboys’ preseason game against the Rams on Sunday.

Brooks is listed as holdout WR CeeDee Lamb’s direct backup. He stuffed the stat sheet as a Cowboys starter on Sunday, securing a 43-yard reception on the first drive and finishing with one contested catch, one missed tackle forced and one explosive, 15-plus-yard pass play. More showings like this could earn him the right to compete with presumed three-wide receiver-set starter Jalen Tolbert.
