The Dallas Cowboys are in the business of making moves on Thursday. If you thought the trade of All-Pro defensive end Micah Parsons is where the train would stop, think again. The team has claimed former Philadelphia Eagles offensive lineman Trevor Keegan off waivers. In a corresponding move to free up a roster spot, the team has released second-year wide receiver Ryan Flournoy.
The move is a bit surprising considering the Cowboys had ten offensive linemen already on the roster after bringing back Hakeem Adeniji on Wednesday. Keegan was a fifth-round pick by the Eagles in 2024, so Dallas is getting a younger offensive lineman to develop for the next few seasons.
On the flip side, releasing Flournoy is also confusing, considering his absence leaves just CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens, KaVontae Turpin, and Jalen Tolbert as the only four wide receivers on the active roster. They do have Jalen Brooks, Jalen Cropper, and Traeshon Holden on the practice squad, so they could always elevate someone to fill the need.
Flournoy was coming off his best camp and preseason performance as a pro and was becoming a solid special teams player. Dallas could bring him back to the practice squad, and the move does not mean a lot, but if there’s just one team that finds value in what Flournoy has shown up to this point, Dallas could lose him to a waiver claim tomorrow.
The New England Patriots are sending shockwaves through their fanbase as an insider drops a major update on their injured rookie fullback, a player many expected to make an immediate impact this season. Sources close to the team suggest the situation is more serious than initially reported, leaving fans and analysts scrambling to understand the full implications for the Patriots’ backfield and offensive schemes.
The rookie, who burst onto the scene with impressive preseason performances, had been pegged as a key weapon in short-yardage and goal-line situations, and early concerns about his injury now have the organization weighing multiple contingency plans. Patriots coaching staff and medical teams are reportedly in constant discussions, attempting to balance the player’s long-term health with the team’s immediate needs.
While the team remains tight-lipped publicly, the insider’s revelation has stirred debate across NFL circles. Some analysts argue that the Patriots might rethink their offensive strategies, potentially leaning more on veteran backs and tight ends if the rookie’s recovery timeline extends further than expected. Others speculate that a quick return could make him a breakout star, one whose impact will define the Patriots’ early-season success.
Fans are now closely monitoring every practice report, social media update, and insider tip, with the rookie’s health becoming a flashpoint for both optimism and concern. With New England aiming to compete at the highest level, this update could reshape expectations and force rapid strategic adjustments.
The situation also raises questions about the Patriots’ depth and resilience, testing the team’s ability to adapt when key young talent faces setbacks. One thing is certain: all eyes are on the organization as they navigate this unexpected twist, with implications that could ripple through the season.
