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.

Jets Offensive Coordinator Accuses Refs of Favoritism Toward Cowboys in Controversial Loss
New York, NY – October 6, 2025 Jets Offensive Coordinator Tanner Engstrand publicly criticized NFL officials after Sunday’s 37–22 overtime loss to the Dallas Cowboys, claiming multiple missed calls directly changed the outcome of the game. Engstrand submitted an official report to the league office highlighting three officiating errors that he called “unacceptable and damaging to the integrity of competition.” In the third quarter, a pass from Justin Fields to Garrett Wilson clearly struck the SkyCam cable, which by rule (Rule 8, Section 1, Article 4) should result in a dead ball and replay of the down. Referee Ron Torbert ruled it incomplete, forcing a Jets punt deep in Cowboys territory — a sequence Engstrand argued “robbed us of a touchdown opportunity.”   Later, in overtime, Cowboys defensive end Dante Fowler Jr. delivered a late hit on Fields after a throw — a textbook roughing the passer that went uncalled. The non-call led to a Jets punt and set up Dallas’s 64-yard game-winning field goal.   Finally, after Jake Ferguson’s fourth-quarter touchdown, Cowboys lineman Nate Thomas appeared to taunt a Jets player near the sideline. Officials ignored the unsportsmanlike conduct, allowing Dallas to keep favorable field position. Engstrand didn’t hold back after the game:“I’ve beaten the Cowboys before — they’re nothing special without help from the refs. What we saw tonight wasn’t football; it was manipulation,” he said. “If we let this slide, it’ll happen again.”   According to multiple reports (ESPN, Pro Football Network), the NFL is expected to review Torbert’s officiating crew for potential disciplinary action, citing misapplication of rules and missed fouls in key moments that heavily benefited Dallas.
