On 2nd stint with Cowboys, veteran CB looking to land in right slot

After being a special teamer in 2024, Kemon Hall is looking to be the Cowboys' solution at slot corner in 2025.

The Cowboys entered their 2025 training camp with a dire situation at cornerback, though one that has a clear solution: patience. Two of the team's top three players at the position are still recovering from 2024 injuries as Trevon Diggs and Shavon Revel work towards healthier knees. To make matters worse, the team's top slot corner from the last decade, Jourdan Lewis, signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars in the offseason.

That left a hole they've been trying to fill. One of the hopeful solutions has been Kemon Hall, a slot corner whom the team signed during last season. Hall appeared in six games in 2024, Weeks 11 through 16, but playing only on special teams for the club. This is his second stint with the Cowboys, also spending some offseason weeks on their roster back in 2020. He's also been rostered by the Los Angeles Chargers, twice, the Minnesota Vikings, New Orleans Saints and San Francisco 49ers. The Chargers and Cowboys are the only stops where he's seen regular-season action.

Hall is hoping to stand out as a slot-only option, allowing the Cowboys to keep DaRon Bland as a boundary corner, where the latter earned All-Pro designation in 2023. He's battling for snaps in camp with Andrew Booth, Troy Pride, Robert Rochell, Bruce Harmon and Josh Butler.
