💥 COWBOYS SHOCKER: “I Did Not Expect Him” — Dallas adds a Super Bowl champion weapon for Dak Prescott after a tie against the Packers, shaking up the offense, energizing the locker room, and now the burning question is… can this addition change the trajectory of their season?..ll

The Dallas Cowboys dropped to 1-2-1 after a historic 40-40 tie against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday Night Football.  Dallas was able to force overtime after falling behind in the first half, however, Green Bay would kick a game tying field goal as time expired in overtime.

Following the tie, Dallas decided to add some reinforcements on offense.

Linebacker Buddy Johnson was poached by the Indianapolis Colts this week, leaving the Dallas Cowboys with a practice squad spot. The Cowboys reunited with a familiar face when that spot opened up:

Dallas is without star wide receiver CeeDee Lamb and Jonathan Mingo for the next few weeks, so the team has signed veteran wideout Parris Campbell to fill the void.

Campbell was with the Cowboys during training camp.

Unfortunately, he suffered a knee injury during practice. Campbell was diagnosed with a sprained MCl which ultimately ended his tenure with the team.

Now, Campbell is back in an offense that he has some brief familiarity with, so we’ll see if he gets the chance to hit the field during the regular season as Lamb and Mingo continue to recover.

Campbell spent the last two seasons with NFC East rivals, the 2023 season with the New York Giants, and the 2024 campaign with the Philadelphia Eagles, winning Super Bowl LIX. He spent the first four years of his career with the Indianapolis Colts.

Throughout his NFL career, Campbell has hauled in 123 catches for 1,117 yards, and six touchdowns.
