Landry Jones reaggravates knee injury suffered in training camp during Dallas Renegades loss

An MRI revealed Dallas Renegades quarterback Landry Jones reaggravated his left knee injury he suffered in training camp in January. 

Dallas Renegades quarterback Landry Jones underwent an MRI on Monday, which revealed a reaggravation of the left knee injury he suffered on the first day of training camp in January. 

Jones walked off Sunday’s game against the Houston Roughnecks in what looked like a considerable amount of pain. He had thrown 3 interceptions against the Roughnecks, as the Renegades lost just 27-20. Dallas head coach Bob Stoops said after the game that the knee brace Jones was wearing might’ve minimized the damage.

The recovery period is said to be at least two weeks, but there is currently no timetable for Jones’ exact return date. 

Dallas will be allowed to add an additional quarterback to its roster due to the XFL’s rules on short-term injuries. The Renegades have not yet announced if they’ll add another quarterback to their roster. 

Jones’ backup Philip Nelson took over the duties in Sunday’s game following the former Sooners’ departure. 

Former Longhorn Jerrod Heard Waived From Dallas Renegades

The Dallas Renegades made roster moves today and one was waiving former Longhorn, Jerrod Heard. He had been injured for most of the season.

The Dallas Renegades made three roster moves today and one was waiving former Texas wide receiver/quarterback, Jerrod Heard. Being injured for the entire season, Heard was falling and falling down the depth chart, before being waived.

Heard has been replaced by former Carolina Panther, Cleveland Brown, and Chicago Bear wide receiver Armanti Edwards. Like Heard, he was a quarterback during his time in college at Appalachian State.

During his time at Texas, Heard had a 58.3 completion percentage, while passing for 1,214 yards and five touchdowns. Making the switch to receiver after his freshman year, he then had 540 receiving yards and four touchdowns on 58 receptions.

After going undrafted in 2019, Heard will now look to get healthy again to make his way back into professional football. If the NFL is not there for him, the XFL should have a spot for his talent.

St. Louis was one of three teams in the XFL East division to come away with a victory in the league’s opener. The Battlehawks edged the Renegades 15-9 in Dallas. Quarterback Jordan Ta’amu completed 20 of 27 passes for 209 yards and one touchdown. Ta’Amu, who played collegiately at Ole Miss, also rushed for 77 yards on nine carries. Former Florida running back Matt Jones led the team with 21 carries and 85 yards, while Keith Ford scored the lone rushing touchdown. The Battlehawks defense was also stout, holding the Renegades to just 58 yards rushing. Linebacker Terence Garvin was all over the field with eight total tackles (two of those for a loss) and one sack.

In the XFL West division, Houston sits in first place after a 37-17 trouncing of the visiting Los Angeles Wildcats.  After being down 17-12 late in the third quarter, the Roughnecks took the lead on a 39-yard touchdown pass from quarterback P.J. Walker to wide receiver Sam Mobley. That series was part of a 25-0 run for head coach June Jones. It’s no secret that Jones’ offenses like to air the ball out. Walker finished the day 23 of 38 for 272 yards, four touchdowns, and one interception. If St. Louis wants to stay in the game, it starts with limiting Walker and the passing game.
