Cowboys Release Ronald Jones Monday

The Dallas Cowboys released running back Ronald Jones on Monday, the team announced. Jones was eligible to return to the active 53-man roster on Monday after serving a two-game suspension for violating the league's performance-enhancing drug policy, but the Cowboys have opted to go in another direction. The 26-year-old will now be hoping to latch on with another organization to provide some backfield depth. Tony Pollard is the team's clear-cut starter, with Rico Dowdle and rookies Deuce Vaughn and Hunter Luepke backing him up in the running back room. Jones shouldn't be rostered in single-year fantasy leagues right now.

Ronald Jones Could Play In Preseason Finale

Dallas Cowboys running back Ronald Jones (groin) returned to training camp practice on Tuesday, suggesting that he could make his preseason debut this Saturday in the team's preseason finale against the Las Vegas Raiders. It's been a bad summer for Jones, who has missed valuable time with a groin injury while also being suspended for the first two games of the 2023 season for performance-enhancing drugs. When he's healthy and back from his suspension in Week 3, he'll be battling Rico Dowdle, impressive rookie Deuce Vaughn and Malik Davis for backup work behind starter Tony Pollard in Dallas' backfield. Jones should be off the fantasy radar in most upcoming drafts.

Ronald Jones Likely To Miss Preseason Opener

Dallas Cowboys running back Ronald Jones (groin) is not practicing on Tuesday and is likely to miss the team's preseason opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Saturday. It's a tough development for Jones after he was handed a two-game suspension for violating the NFL's PED policy. The Cowboys listed the two-time Super Bowl Champion behind Tony Pollard, Rico Dowdle, and Malik Davis on its initial depth chart, so his chances to make the 53-man roster could be dwindling. Jones was a healthy scratch for the Kansas City Chiefs last season on many occasions and his career outlook is looking bleak.

Ronald Jones Dealing With Groin Injury

Dallas Cowboys running back Ronald Jones (groin) is set to miss practice time after suffering a groin injury on Saturday. The 26-year-old was recently given a two-game suspension for PEDs, so his stock is continuing to fall as the preseason progresses. Ultimately, the two-time Super Bowl Champion isn't a lock to make the Cowboys' 53-man roster, so any lost practice time is bad news. He's competing with Malik Davis, Rico Dowdle, and Deuce Vaughn to earn a reserve role behind Tony Pollard in 2023.

Ronald Jones Suspended For PEDs

Dallas Cowboys running back Ronald Jones has been suspended by the NFL on Monday for the first two games of the 2023 regular season for violating the league's policy on performance-enhancing substances. Jones will be eligible to play in the preseason and continue practicing in training camp, but he'll miss the first two games of the season. Tony Pollard (ankle) is expected to be good to go for the start of the regular season as Dallas' lead back, but Malik Davis should now see an elevated role behind him in the first two weeks of the season with Jones now suspended. Rookie Deuce Vaughn and Rico Dowdle could also see more work early in the year with Jones sidelined. When healthy, the 25-year-old Jones should have more opportunity than he did in Kansas City last year, but that doesn't mean he'll be fantasy relevant.

Will the Cowboys bring back Ezekiel Elliott? Fantasy Football Outlook

The Dallas Cowboys released running back Ezekiel Elliott this offseason after a disappointing 2022 year. The veteran back finished the season with a career-low 231 carries and 876 yards in 15 games. Elliott did rush for 12 touchdowns (tied for the second most of his career in a season) but averaged a mere 3.79 yards per carry. The release was expected because of the Cowboys' cap situation and the running back's season. Dallas saved more than $10.9 million towards their cap space in 2023, and the move opened the door for Tony Pollard to be the new RB1 in the offense. But is a reunion in the works to bring Elliott back? What would his fantasy outlook look like back in Dallas? Let's take a look.   Will the Cowboys bring back Ezekiel Elliott? Owner Jerry Jones has not ruled out bringing back Elliott for the 2023 season. On Monday, Jones met with reporters and reiterated that he hasn't closed the door on a possible reunion with the former All-Pro back. https://twitter.com/jonmachota/status/1665774979101650944?s=20 Elliott still remains a free agent and has yet to find a new home following his release in March. Shortly after being cut, the 27-year-old running shared a wish list of teams he would love to go to: Cincinnati Bengals, New York Jets, and Philadelphia Eagles. But all three teams seem content with their current running back group. The return of Elliott to Dallas makes a lot of sense for the Cowboys. The team lacks a power runner behind Pollard. Malik Davis, Ronald Jones, and Deuce Vaughn all lack size. The team could roll with undrafted rookie fullback Hunter Luepke, but bringing back a veteran like Elliott, on a cheaper one-year deal, could help big time.   Ezekiel Elliott's Fantasy Outlook With The Cowboys If the Cowboys bring back Elliott, he could be a solid weekly flex play with RB2 upside in 2023. He put together the worst fantasy football season of his career last season. However, he was still inserted in fantasy lineups almost every week, finishing as the RB22 in PPR formats. Elliott had 10 double-digit performances, averaged 12.39 fantasy points per game, and scored a touchdown in nine straight games he played in from Week 6 to Week 17. With Pollard locked in as the RB1, Elliott would complement him in short-yard and goal-to-go situations -- similar to how he did in 2022. He might take on a slighter workload in Dallas this year. But in a high-scoring Cowboys offense, he should be a touchdown machine again and provide weekly flex numbers, if he were to re-sign with them.

Cowboys Agree To Deal With Ronald Jones

The Dallas Cowboys agreed to an undisclosed one-year deal with free-agent running back Ronald Jones on Tuesday after he visited with the team on Monday, according to a source. Jones spent last year with the Kansas City Chiefs after a four-year run with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. His best year came in 2020, when he had 192 carries for 978 yards and seven touchdowns for the Bucs. The 25-year-old was buried on the Chiefs' depth chart in 2022 and played in only six regular season games (zero starts), carrying the ball 17 times for 70 yards and one touchdown. Jones will have a chance for a much bigger role in 2023 behind Tony Pollard after Dallas let cut Ezekiel Elliott, but Jones' value will also depend on who the Cowboys add at the position through the draft next month.

Cowboys To Host Ronald Jones On Monday

According to Michael Gehlken of the Dallas Morning News, the Cowboys will host free-agent running back Ronald Jones on Monday. The organization recently parted ways with Ezekiel Elliott, and Tony Pollard (fibula) suffered a leg injury during the NFC Divisional Round. As a result, the team needs to explore its options while being mindful of its cap situation. Jones spent last season in Kansas City, where he saw the field sparingly. He finished with just one touchdown in 2022-23 after amassing 20 in four years with the Buccaneers. If the 25-year-old ends up in Dallas, he's someone to watch, especially since he could see additional work early in the season if Pollard isn't healthy enough to play.

The Carolina Panthers Trade up to No. 1 Overall - Trade Reaction

The weekend officially started with a bang as Adam Schefter and Ian Rapoport dropped the first trade bombshell of the NFL offseason. The Bears decided to stick with Justin Fields as their quarterback and traded the No.1 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft to the Carolina Panthers. The trade made sense for both teams. The Bears did not have their second-rounder in 2023 and the Panthers have been stuck in QB purgatory ever since Cam Newton's body began breaking down. Since 2019 the Panthers have shuffled through the likes of Kyle Allen, Will Grier, Teddy Bridgewater, P.J. Walker, Sam Darnold, and Baker Mayfield and were stuck in blatant Quarterback Purgatory. Sure they might have given up a lot, but I'm always a fan of going up to get your guy. If the pick hits it's a small price to pay for 10+ years of success. Let's break down the trade now, shall we?   Latest on the Blockbuster Bears - Panthers trade Ever since the NFL offseason began, trade rumors have swirled around the Bears trading out of the No. 1 spot being that they already had Justin Fields in the fold. The teams rumored to be in the mix were the Indianapolis Colts, Houston Texans, Las Vegas Raiders, and Carolina Panthers. This was a massive haul for the Bears who are basically just playing Madden franchise mode right now. They have the most salary cap space heading into free agency and they will have a war chest of draft picks for the next two years. Landing a veteran wide receiver in DJ Moore was great for Justin Fields and his development as well. Fields was dealt a pretty bad hand since he came into the league as he's had coaching turnover and a weak supporting cast. Now that the Bears' days of tanking appear to be over, they can finally put some solid pieces around him on offense and build their roster back up. Expect the Bears to be a big player once free agency kicks off next week where they will hopefully add some important pieces on the offensive line to help Justin Fields. Running back David Montgomery is a free agent and it is unknown if he will be back in Chicago in 2023. The good news for the Bears is Aaron Rodgers is expected to be traded from Green Bay. Rodgers has haunted the Bears for many years. Might we see a changing of the guard in the NFC North with the Bears and Lions rising up while the Packers and Vikings fade into the background after many years in the playoffs?   Who Will the Panthers Draft No. 1 Overall? The latest FanFuel sportsbook odds changed after the trade. CJ Stroud was -170 to go first overall in the draft. That number has now moved all the way down to -320, which suggests many of the talking heads around the league believe that the Panthers really like CJ Stroud. It's no secret that Panthers Owner: David Tepper has gotten tired of all the bandaid options available in the draft and wants his team to make a splash at quarterback. The betting odds are on CJ Stroud, Bryce Young, Anthony Richardson, and Will Levis. We have seen several instances in years past when four quarterbacks went in the top 10 of the NFL Draft, but we have never seen four quarterbacks go in the top seven picks before. Might what change this year? Were the Texans willing to stay put at two because they know the Panthers aren't interested in the same quarterback that they are? The NFL is continuing to become a quarterback-driven league and teams are tired of feeling like they are behind the 8-ball. If the Panthers really believe in being able to go up and get their guy then they should be applauded for having the guts to make the move. In a span of 12 months we've seen the Broncos, the Browns, and now the Panthers give up multiple first-round picks to get a quarterback. Nobody knows what the future holds, but after a wild 2022 offseason, we should expect 2023 to be no different. The NFL is king.

Ronald Jones Finds The End Zone In Season Finale

Kansas City Chiefs running back Ronald Jones rushed for 45 yards on 10 carries and a touchdown in the Week 18 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. The 25-year-old recorded his heaviest usage and scored his first touchdown of the year. He was efficient, averaging 4.5 yards per carry and logging more attempts than Jerick McKinnon (two) and Isiah Pacheco (eight). The former Buccaneer rushed for 70 yards and a touchdown while catching one pass for 22 yards across six games in 2022. Jones will serve as the Chiefs' No. 3 back behind McKinnon and Pacheco but remains off the fantasy radar in playoff leagues.
