Dark cocoons are often indicative of a pupa that is about to eclose.

If you've enjoyed using my expertise and identifications, please do not create undue ecological risk by releasing your ants. The environment which we keep our pet insects is alien and oftentimes unsanitary, so ensure that wild populations stay safe by giving your ants the best care you can manage for the rest of their lives, as we must do with any other pet.
Exotic ants are for those who think that vibrant diversity is something you need to pay money to see. It is illegal to transport live ants across state lines.

I very much doubt she'd eat a "dead" pupae, just move it as far away from her healthy brood as possible.
But as batspiderfish has said it just means they will eclose very soon and you'll have some nice workers
