That was when Jonathan Mingo landed awkwardly as he jumped for a pass from Joe Milton III near the end zone.
Mingo, 24, was seen limping to the sidelines before going into the medical tent and was immediately ruled out.
According to ESPN, the wide receiver is likely to begin the season on injured reserve.
Dallas physios deemed the Mississippi star suffered a sprained posterior cruciate ligament in his right knee.
Mingo is expected to be out of action for about four to six weeks, if not longer.
The Cowboys can place two players on injured reserve at the time of finalizing their 53-man roster by August 26.
The NFL giants acquired Mingo last year alongside a seventh-round 2025 draft pick in exchange for a fourth-round pick from the Carolina Panthers.
The Brandon alumnus caught five passes for 46 yards across eight games, but did not have a reception from starting quarterback Dak Prescott.
The Ole Miss college graduate is registered as the backup for CeeDee Lamb in Brian Schottenheimer’s squad.
He enjoyed a productive offseason with some impressive moments in training camp in Oxnard, California.
Mingo’s injury could see the likes of Jalen Tolbert, Jalen Brooks and Ryan Flournoy earn more minutes.
