The Cowboys are still tinkering with their roster, just days before their season-opening game against the defending Super Bowl champs.
The club released offensive lineman Saahdiq Charles from the practice squad on Saturday, and in a corresponding transaction, brought wide receiver Ryan Flournoy back to take his spot. The move shores up depth for a dangerously thin pass-catching corps that currently has just four Cowboys wide receivers (CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens, Jalen Tolbert, and KaVontae Turpin) on the 53-man roster.
Flournoy, a sixth-round draft pick from 2024, had been waived earlier in the week to make room for a new offensive lineman, Trevor Keegan, who was claimed off waivers. Now having cleared waivers himself, the promising Flournoy is back.
A big-bodied receiver out of Southeast Missouri State, Flournoy saw action in 11 games last season for the Cowboys, starting one contest. He ended his rookie season with 10 catches for 102 yards and is seen as a still-ascending prospect at the position.
Flournoy, 25, will join Jalen Brooks, Traeshon Holden, and Jalen cropper on the Cowboys practice squad; each of them can be elevated for three regular-season games.
