Sheldrick Redwine, a well-traveled journeyman in the NFL, is making Cowboys roster news as he is elevated from the practice squad to the 53-man roster. With safety Jayron Kearse doubtful to play, Redwine is being brought in as insurance. While Redwine's appearances in games have been limited throughout his career, he is known for his aggressive nature and love for making open-field tackles.
Since being drafted by the Cleveland Browns in 2019, Redwine has played for a total of four teams, including the Browns, Jets, Panthers, and Dolphins. He has appeared in eight games and recorded one regular-season interception. His career highlight came during a 2020 playoff win over the Steelers when he intercepted Ben Roethlisberger, setting up a touchdown.
Despite his journeyman status, Redwine's addition to the Cowboys' roster provides depth and adds another option for the team's defense. While it remains to be seen how much playing time he will receive, Redwine's love for tackling and aggressive style of play make him a valuable asset on the field.
The Cowboys' decision to bring Redwine up from the practice squad shows their confidence in his abilities and willingness to give him an opportunity to make an impact. As the Cowboys prepare to face the Commanders on Thanksgiving, all eyes will be on Redwine and whether he will seize the opportunity to make a name for himself on the Cowboys' roster.
