Returning to Dallas
The Cowboys re-signed Goodwin (pectoral) on a one-year deal Thursday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Goodwin sustained a torn pectoral in early October that forced him to miss all but five of the Cowboys' games in 2023, but it seems as if he's now past the issue. The 34-year-old cornerback was used almost exclusively on special teams last season, playing a total of 102 snaps (86 on special teams) and recording four total tackles. Expect Goodwin to compete for a similar role in Dallas' special-teams unit this offseason.

Done for season
Goodwin (pectoral) will be out for the remainder of the season, Michael Gehlken of the Dallas Morning News reports.
Analysis: Goodwin was working to return this season by rehabbing his pec injury; however, the 33-year-old will undergo surgery this week to repair it. The injury was initially believed to be season-ending, so although the news does not come as a surprise, his absence for the remainder of the 2023 campaign will still be a blow to Dallas' special teams unit.

Goodwin (hamstring) returned to practice this week, Jori Epstein of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Misses a week of practice
Goodwin (hamstring) has missed the last week of practice and will likely miss more, but is expected to be ready for Week 1, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Analysis: The 31-year old played in all 16 games last season primarily on special teams. The veteran corner's absence in practice will give the Cowboys more opportunities to get a look at what they have in their rookie cornerbacks Kelvin Joseph and Nahshon Wright. Goodwin's spot on the roster is safe due to his value as a key contributor on special teams.
