Mingo has had back-to-back strong practice days at training camp. He made a deep catch on a bullet pass from Joe Milton on the final play of practice one day, and the next day made himself available to starting QB Dak Prescott for a nice catch and run over the middle of the field. The source highlights 'back-to-back strong days for Jonathan Mingo' and notes he is 'off to a good start for that spot' if the Cowboys keep five receivers.

Mingo is competing for the fifth wide receiver roster spot on the Cowboys after Ryan Flournoy (third) and KaVontae Turpin (fourth). The source notes he is 'a capable target who is trying to grab the fifth spot on the roster' and describes him as 'a big body receiver with very good ball skills for passes thrown into in his radius.' Despite Dallas potentially overpaying in the trade to acquire him, 'the talent is there, and he is trying to show it in this camp so far.'

The source predicts Jonathan Mingo will not make the Dallas Cowboys 53-man roster. Mingo sits behind the top three receivers (CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens, Ryan Flournoy) and competes with KaVontae Turpin and Marquez Valdes-Scantling for remaining spots. Both Turpin and Valdes-Scantling have NFL touchdowns, which Mingo lacks; Turpin adds return game value and Valdes-Scantling brings nine years of NFL contributions. Mingo's statistical trajectory is declining—targets, receptions, and yards have fallen every year since his rookie season. Last year he played six games and caught one pass for 25 yards. Even if Dallas carries six or more receivers, Mingo faces an uphill battle; if the team carries only five, his path becomes even steeper. His youth (25 years old) and physical ability offer a shot to crack the roster, but the source's prediction is that he will not make the cut.

The source predicts Mingo will not make the Cowboys roster after training camp and preseason. He sits behind top three receivers CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens, and Ryan Flournoy, and competes with KaVontae Turpin and Marquez Valdes-Scantling for remaining spots. Mingo lacks an NFL touchdown, unlike Turpin and Valdes-Scantling, and is trending downward in targets, receptions, and yards every year since his rookie season. Last year he played in six games and caught one pass for 25 yards. At 25 years old, his physical ability offers a shot at the 53-man roster, but if Dallas carries only five receivers, his path becomes very difficult.
