Add another familiar face to the list of ex-teammates the Cowboys will see on opposing sidelines in 2023.
Just as the Cowboys are gearing up to face Ezekiel Elliott as a New England Patriot, the team has also learned that they’ll get a reunion with former wide receiver Simi Fehoko in a couple weeks.
Fehoko announced via social media that he has been signed to the Los Angeles Chargers’ 53-man roster following the ACL injury suffered by Mike Williams last weekend.

Fehoko had been on the Steelers practice squad since being cut by Dallas on Aug. 29, but he had not made it into a game for Pittsburgh. The move to L.A. will pair him once again with former Cowboys offensive coordinator Kellen Moore, who now serves in the same capacity for the Chargers.
The 25-year-old Fehoko was a fifth-round draft choice of the Cowboys in 2021. The 6-foot-4-inch receiver offered a tantalizing physical presence and quickly garnered a following among Dallas fans, but he was never able to make much of an impact on the field.
He has three total receptions on four targets for 24 yards over 10 game appearances in 2021 and 2022.

The Chargers got off to a rough start in Moore’s first season as OC, losing a 2-point affair to Miami in Week 1 and following it up with a 3-point loss in Tennessee. They beat Minnesota 28-24 to claim their first victory of the season in Week 3.
Fehoko joins a WR room for the Bolts that includes Keenan Allen, Quentin Johnson, Joshua Palmer, and Derius Davis. Jalen Guyton is currently injured but can rejoin the team after Week 4.
The Cowboys will visit SoFi Stadium to face Moore and Fehoko for a Monday Night Football showdown on Oct. 16 to close out the league’s slate of Week 6 games.
