Cowboys bring back veteran OT La'el Collins
Collins, 32, played for the Cowboys from 2015-19 and again in 2021 but last appeared in an NFL game with the Cincinnati Bengals in 2022. He worked out for the team on Friday at training camp in Oxnard, Calif.
Christian, 28, split the 2024 season with the Los Angeles Rams and Cleveland Browns. He has appeared in 63 games (25 starts) with five teams since breaking into the league as a third-round pick by Washington in 2018.
Collins played both right and left tackle during his previous stints with the Cowboys. He has started 86 of his 89 career NFL games since going undrafted out of LSU in 2015.
Dallas needed reinforcements on the offensive line while dealing with a rash of injuries to Terence Steele (ankle), Rob Jones (neck), Tyler Guyton (knee), Tyler Smith (knee) and Hakeem Adeniji (concussion).
To make room for Collins and Christian, the Cowboys placed wide receiver Parris Campbell (knee) on season-ending injured reserve and waived/injured tackle Matt Waletzko (ankle).

Report: Vikings brace for 3-game ban for Jordan Addison
August 4 - The Minnesota Vikings are bracing for a three-game suspension for wide receiver Jordan Addison over last year's DUI arrest, ESPN reported Monday. Addison, 23, resolved his legal case last month by pleading no contest to a lesser charge. He was placed on 12 months of probation and ordered to pay a fine and complete two online courses. He was arrested in July 2024 near Los Angeles International Airport after police found him asleep at the wheel of his Rolls-Royce, which was blocking a lane of traffic on Interstate 105. The Vikings' first three games of the regular season are at Chicago in Week 1 and home games against Atlanta in Week 2 and Cincinnati in Week 3. Addison caught 63 passes for 875 yards and nine touchdowns in 15 games (all starts) in his second season in 2024. The 2023 first-round draft pick (23rd overall) has 133 receptions for 1,786 yards and 19 TDs in 32 games (29 starts). --Field Level Media

Mike McDaniel's disturbingly morbid answer in Dolphins press conference leaves fans baffled
Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel has left fans baffled after providing a surprisingly morbid answer in a press conference. Late last month, McDaniel corrected a reporter after seemingly being greeted with 'good morning' - before explaining the dark reason that it was actually a 'great morning.' 'You should stand corrected - good morning? False, great morning, let's go,' he said. Asked what was so 'great' about that morning, the coach answered: 'Because we're another day closer to death.' McDaniel's quip resulted in some laughs from the reporters present, while fans online were taken aback by the remark after it surfaced on social media on Monday. 'Outlook seems optimistic in Miami,' one said on X. lol — Egan (@SlamDunkEpic) August 4, 2025 'Just like me on a Monday,' another quipped. 'Appropriate reaction to being associated with this cursed franchise,' a third cracked. And a fourth said: 'The latest graduate from the Joe Mazzulla School of Communications,' comparing McDaniel to the famously dry Celtics coach. McDaniel is in a pivotal offseason as Dolphins coach after his team missed the postseason last year. That occurred in large part due to more injury woes for quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, who missed six games due to concussion and hip issues. The passer, who was hosted by Donald Trump at the White House on Thursday, was urged by the president to 'stay healthy' and McDaniel echoed those comments afterward. 'If I was concerned about how serious he was taking his part in staying healthy, I think he got an executive order last night to stay healthy, if I'm not mistaken,' McDaniel told NFL Network over the weekend. 'He then praised his quarterback, adding: 'It's been cool to watch him really evolve into who he is on the national stage but more so, really in his own skin, be the true leader of the team. 'It's real and authentic and all he's done is - in a ton of noise - focus on the right stuff. So there's a lot of things that go into staying healthy but first and foremost you have to front-end prioritize and really acknowledge what you mean to the team,' the coach continued. 'And, like in years past, he lives and embraces "control-ables" and is not afraid of any work. So guys respond to him.' The Dolphins begin their season on September 7 at the Colts.

The two-time All-Star is a career .270 hitter with 169 home runs and 483 RBIs in 821 games since making his debut with the Braves in 2019.
