“Whatever gets me on the field, I’ll do it,’’ Mingo said of his role in Dallas’ offense.
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Jonathan Mingo is wrapped up by New York Giants cornerback Adoree' Jackson following a fourth quarter pass completion at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, November 28, 2024.. Still, he’ll return to Carolina this weekend to play against the team that took him in the second round of the 2023 draft.“Just trying to win,’’ Mingo said. “I’ve got old teammates and stuff and it will be good to see them. That’s about it, though. I’ll just try to go out there and make plays.
Mingo has been targeted a total of 11 times in those games, resulting in two catches for 10 yards. Despite the lack of production, Mingo calls the transition a smooth one. Head coach Mike McCarthy said he likes how the second-year receiver is coming along. “It’s all the NFL,’’ Mingo said about learning this offense on the fly. “Sometimes you have similar plays that we ran in Carolina that are run here. It’s just different names and verbiage and stuff that you have to get used to.“I feel like I’ve got everything down pat since I’ve been here. The more I practice and hear the play calls, the more it becomes familiar.Mingo also said he’s comfortable with all three receiver spots, a requirement in McCarthy’s system.
