Dallas has been active with their roster leading up to their regular season finale in Washington. Not only str the Cowboys signing former starting right tackle La’el Collins to the practice squad, but they also will add former Cowboy linebacker Damien Wilson. These are among four players expected to join the club once they create room on the 16-man squad.

Collins signed with Dallas back in 2015 and started 71 games along the offensive line. Collins accounted for $8.1 million against the Cowboys salary cap this season after the team released him back in March 2022. His practice squad salary goes unaccounted for as only the top 51 salaries in the NFL count against the cap.

Wilson signed with Kansas City and wound up winning and losing a Super Bowl in his two years in the Midwest. Wilson suited up for 17 games with the Carolina Panthers in 2022, with five starts. His path to seeing the field will hinge on how quickly he can adapt to the scheme.

They did not stop there as the team is also adding wideout Racey McMath and running back SaRodorick Thompson.

McMath was a sixth-round draft pick by Tennessee back in 2021. The former LSU product played in five games this season catching two passes for 40 yards.

Thompson is a rookie undrafted free agent who started with the Seahawks and was signed to their original practice squad after failing to make the initial 53-man roster. All four players will be eligible to practice once the official announcement is made.

Twitter reacts to CeeDee Lamb’s 8th TD in 7 games as Cowboys take lead

The Cowboys retook the lead in the first quarter with a sensational catch and run the star runner.

The Dak Prescott to CeeDee Lamb connection is alive and kicking. Early on in the important Week 16 matchup against the Miami Dolphins, the QB-WR combo is lighting up the opposing secondary. Still in the first half, Lamb already has topped 100 yards from scrimmage, with the last 43 coming on a beautiful touchdown run.

Dallas was trailing 3-0 after rookie FB Hunter Luepke fumbled at the goal line and the defense finally stopped the responding Miami drive and forced a long field goal. It took just three plays to respond. Prescott found Lamb for catch No. 3 outside the right hash for 22 yards. A Tony Pollard run later, the two connected again. Lamb took the catch and weaved through the Dolphins secondary for a 43-yard score. It was Lamb’s eight TD in the last seven games (six receptions, two rushes). Twitter reacted accordingly.

Cowboys return to form, check all boxes in 38-3 drubbing of Patriots

The Cowboys were able to avoid back-to-back losses and instead reclaimed their place as one of the league’s top teams with another blowout. | From @KDDrummondNFL

The Dallas Cowboys had to deal with a long week following their disappointing Week 3 performance in the desert. The loss to the Arizona Cardinals was an eye opener, tarnishing the great start to the 2023 season with two blowout victories. Detractors looked to throw dirt on Dallas’ chances to have a special season, but on Sunday afternoon the club did what they set out to do in restoring order to their universe.

While the red-zone woes were once again prevalent, Dallas excelled in every other phase of the game. QB Dak Prescott was precise, missing only six of his 34 pass attempts. The offense got the Cowboys the early lead and then the defense and special teams made it an easy victory. For the second time in four games, Dallas scored twice on returns, this time on a fumble recovery and an interception. The special teams threw in a fake extra point to pour salt in the wounds and the result was a 38-3 dominating victory.

The win moved Dallas to 3-1 on the young season, with a revenge date on the horizon. The Cowboys will travel to San Francisco for Sunday Night football next week to take on the team that has eliminated them from the playoffs for the last two seasons. The 49ers won big as well to improve to 4-0 on the season.

The victory saw DaRon Bland, starting on the outside with Trevon Diggs out for the year, secure his second and third interceptions of the young season and his second touchdown. Linebacker Leighton Vander Esch scooped the ball up after a strip sack by Dante Fowler and returned it for a score. But the most fun defensive score came on the extra point, when Bryan Anger took the snap and found Chauncey Golston on a pass for a two-point conversion.

Meanwhile Prescott spread the ball around on offense, finding CeeDee Lamb for his first touchdown of the season. Michael Gallup had another strong game with five catches for 60 yards. Second-year tight end Jake Ferguson caught all seven of his targets for 77 yards, while Jalen Tolbert had his strongest game as a pro with four catches for 53 yards.

Prescott finished the game 28 for 34 for 261 yards with a 108.5 passer rating. His day would’ve been better if rookie TE Luke Schoonmaker didn’t drop a touchdown pass in the first quarter, a common theme for the tight ends through four games.

Injury wise, Dallas saw Micah Parsons miss several plays with a leg injury, however he would return and finish the game. The same couldn’t be same for backup RB Rico Dowdle, who was lost to a hip injury of unknown severity.

Twitter reacts to Cowboys’ disrespectful, unneccessary, but fun fake XP

The Dallas Cowboys probably could’ve saved the trickery for a bigger situation, but sometimes it feels good just to feel good. Midway through the second quarter, the Cowboys found themselves up 16-3 after a defensive strip sack, scoop and score. The Patriots gave them a golden opportunity to run a trick play.

For whatever reason, perhaps they saw something in film study, the Patriots sent the house to try and block the extra point. Only Dallas holder, punter Bryan Anger was ready for it. Anger never placed the ball on the turf after the snap, stood up and found  defensive lineman Chauncey Golston wide open on his way to the end zone. Social media of course loved it all, including the fact this happened against a Bill Belichick team.
