Dallas Cowboys Sign Former Super Bowl Champion WR To Help Replace CeeDee Lamb Posted September 30, 2025

Seven months after winning a Super Bowl 59 championship with the Philadelphia Eagles, veteran wide receiver Parris Campbell will not suit up for the rival team.

On Tuesday, the 

Dallas Cowboys’ PR team announced on X/Twitter that they signed Parris Campbell to their practice squad. The move comes nine days after Dallas lost All-Pro receiver CeeDee Lamb to an ankle injury in a Week 3 loss to the Chicago Bears

The Cowboys signed Campbell in free agency after the new league year opened, only to release him in August. However, with Campbell having had five months to learn Dallas’ playbook, the Cowboys are bringing him in as an insurance option.

A former second-round pick (59th overall) by the Indianapolis Colts in 2019, Parris Campbell won a Super Bowl 59 championship ring when the Eagles defeated the Kansas City Chiefs in the big game.

 

Campbell appeared in all three postseason games and suited up for five regular-season contests, finishing with six catches for 30 yards and one touchdown, per Pro Football Reference.

Dallas visits the 

New York Jets at 1:00 p.m. EST on Sunday.

Parris Campbell Gets Another Chance To Revive His Career

A rash of injuries limited Campbell to just 15 total games over his first three 

 

NFL seasons. He finally stayed healthy in 2022 and had a solid season on a lousy Colts team, catching 63 passes for 623 yards and three touchdowns.

Campbell spent the 2023 season with the New York Giants, totaling 20 receptions for 104 yards in 12 games. Of course, he didn’t have it easy with 

 

Daniel Jones, Tyrod Taylor and Danny DeVito serving as the Giants’ three QBs that year.

With Dallas short on quality receivers outside of George Pickens during Lamb’s absence, the opportunity is there for Campbell to step in and become a key contributor on the Dallas offense.

Amid NFL Community’s Criticism of Bad Bunny as a Super Bowl “Mistake” — Cowboys Legend’s Strong Offensive Leaves Fans Speechless
Dallas, October 3, 2025 The NFL conversation has flared after some voices labeled the decision to invite global superstar Bad Bunny to the Super Bowl Halftime Show a “mistake.” Traditionalists argued the league should stick to artists more closely aligned with old-school football culture. The debate snowballed across talk shows and social platforms. But few expected a Dallas icon to flip the narrative. Emmitt Smith — Hall of Famer, all-time rushing leader, and one of the game’s most respected ambassadors — stepped up with a crisp offensive that cut through the noise: “Bad Bunny being chosen to perform at the Super Bowl tells you everything — he’s not just a singer; he’s a world-class artist. The Super Bowl isn’t only about football. It’s a global cultural moment where music and sport collide. If the NFL selected Bad Bunny, it means he’s earned the right to stand on the biggest stage.”Super Bowl Tickets The words hit like a clean seam route. Within minutes, Smith’s take ricocheted around the timeline, prompting even early skeptics to acknowledge a broader point: the Halftime Show isn’t just for the 70,000 in the building — it’s a gateway for hundreds of millions worldwide to touch the NFL. Why This Matters Bad Bunny’s reach extends far beyond football’s borders. His selection is a lever to expand the league’s cultural footprint and invite new audiences into the sport. When a universally respected figure like Smith speaks, it reframes the conversation: the NFL isn’t shrinking to satisfy a narrow definition of “football culture”; it’s meeting the moment of a global stage.        👉 In one sound bite, a Cowboys legend helped swing sentiment — proving that long after the pads come off, his voice still moves the game forward        Note: While Bad Bunny's selection for the 2026 Super Bowl halftime show is real, Emmitt Smith's offensive in this article is hypothetical and generated for illustrative purposes.
