Things aren't going as planned for in 2021. The talented tight end looked forward to regaining prime form in 2021, after suffering a torn ACL in Week 1 of the 2020 season -- thrusting backup into the lead role. Jose Bautista Jersey Schultz went on to have a breakout season that's rolled over into the current one, while Jarwin has seen his targets dwindle. And having now suffered a hip injury in the victory over the Minnesota in Week 8, he's been moved to injured reserve, a source tells CBS Sports.This means Jarwin will mi s a minimum of three games, opening the door for Schultz to continue as the definitive starter and for the Cowboys to Justin Smoak Jersey get a better look at , a player who showed a ton of promise in camp and in the preseason before suffering an ankle injury that landed him on injured reserve. He returned to practice Oct. 13, and has since been moved to the active 53-man roster. He'll compete with veteran for reps, but it seems a foregone conclusion the Cowboys will lean more heavily on getting a regular season look at McKeon in tandem with Schultz.Jarwin has proven himself a playmaker when given the chance and as one of Prescott's favorite targets in the past, but in his absence, Schultz took a gargantuan leap forward and finally established himself as a viable starter in the league as Marco Estrada Jersey well. Schultz took full advantage of his 14 starts in 2020, delivering career-highs in receiving yards (618) and touchdowns (four) despite a carousel of mostly dismal quarterback play following the lo s of Jaime Garcia Jersey Prescott to a season-ending injury in Week 5.When Jarwin does return, he'll potentially have to contend with McKeon as well, if the young upstart can impre s over the next three games. The Cowboys also activated linebacker from injured reserve, where's he's been since the preseason due to a hamstring injury. Bernard rejoins the team only days rookie fourth-round pick with a torn ACL, and he's a talent that can double Kevin Pillar Jersey as a core special teamer who makes it with , whom the waived le s than a month after the Cowboys did so themselves. Bernard is a former undrafted free agent signed by the Cowboys in 2020 and, like McKeon, also showed up big in camp and in the preseason before going down ahead of the season opener with an injury.Both will now get a chance to show their respective coordinator what they're capable of.
