Dallas Cowboys Nailed With Another Injury Hit
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. After receiving unfortunate news on the injury front on Monday, the Dallas Cowboys suffered another loss this week, adding their cornerback Caelen Carson to the injury report. Over the weekend, Carson went down with a suspected knee injury. On Tuesday, the Cowboys' medical team reached a diagnosis, and while the results aren't season-ending, they aren't promising either. Carson is believed to be dealing with a hyperextended knee. According to ESPN's Todd Archer, he is looking at a four-to-six-week timeline for recovery. Last season, the Cowboys picked up Carson in the fifth round of the 2024 NFL Draft. After his four-year run at Wake Forest, Carson became the 174th pick in the draft. He left the NCAA with 36 games played. During that time, he totaled 119 tackles, two forced fumbles, and three interceptions. As a rookie, Carson appeared in just six games for the Cowboys. He started all but one of those matchups. Over that stretch, the rookie picked up 27 tackles and four pass deflections.

Unfortunately, he'll find himself on the injury report for the time being. The Cowboys are already without Trevon Diggs, Josh Butler, and Shavon Revel. Carson joins the club. Beyond the group of defensive backs, the Cowboys dealt with some setbacks in the trenches this week. On Monday morning, the team confirmed that Rob Jones broke a bone in his neck. The veteran offensive lineman was recently added to the team on a one-year deal. The initial timeline for Jones is expected to be between two and three months. That's a big hit for Dallas, which had high hopes for the veteran after picking him up in the free agency market. During Monday's practice session, the Cowboys watched another lineman go down. The veteran Tyler Guyton was feared to have a potential ACL tear just hours after he was forced off the practice field. The Cowboys received a positive update after an MRI revealed that his ACL was intact. Instead of scheduling ACL surgery, Guyton will deal with a four-to-six recovery period after being diagnosed with a bone fracture. While it's been a tough offseason so far on the injury front, some of the injured Cowboys have time to recover before making it to Week 1 against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Bisexual ex-NFL star Ryan Russell explains what it really means to 'go both ways'
In 2019, Ryan 'RK' Russell, an NFL veteran who played for the Dallas Cowboys and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, made history when he became the first NFL player to come out as bisexual in an article he wrote for ESPN. Since then, he's been a proponent of bisexual equality and is outspoken about his bisexual nature. In a world where bi erasure is a real thing, it's imperative to have people like him as a spokesperson for the community. In a recent TikTok video, Russell addressed the way people viewed bisexuality and broke down how queer culture mirrors sports.'Today, we're going to be talking about how sports culture is queer culture,' he said at the top of the video. He went on to discuss the way people talk about bisexuality, citing how he often hears the term 'goes both ways.' He said the phrase was first introduced to him in the context of sports and athletics, then compared the question to someone like LeBron James, who, 'at the height of his career, was both a devastating defender and an offensive force to be reckoned with.' He then compared that to 'playing both ends of the floor' or 'going both ways.' Later, he mentioned Travis Hunter, a rookie for the Jacksonville Jaguars who's already earned top 10 status in this year's draft. Russell highlighted Hunter's versatility in the sport, saying his value as a player was upped due to his ability to play both defense and offense. 'Unfortunately, when we talk about bisexual people, we don't see it with that same lens,' he continued. 'As if one day I could be waking up and 'playing offense,' then midplay switch to play defense and ruin my own team.' Outside of sports, he said, 'Or, I could be in a relationship with a man and decide, 'Hey, actually today, I want to be in a relationship with a woman,' which, for some people, that's not an issue.' In both sports and queer culture, he said he wanted the idea of 'going both ways' to be 'seen as a value, as added paint to the diverse canvas that is our society.' He closed the video saying, 'So the next time that you think about a bisexual person 'going both ways,' think about them as the all-star of their team.' Check out the full video below: Sports culture is queer culture. If going both ways is elite on the field, it should be celebrated off it too. Bisexuality is strength, versatility, and heart. 🏳️🌈🏈 We couldn't have said it better ourselves.

Dallas Cowboys training camp injuries mount with cornerback Caelen Carson's hyperextended knee
The injuries are mounting at training camp for the Dallas Cowboys, with cornerback Caelen Carson the latest expected to miss multiple weeks after injuring a knee. The team reported on its website Tuesday that Carson hyperextended a knee in practice Monday and could miss four to six weeks. There's a similar time frame for left tackle Tyler Guyton, who went down with a knee fracture in the same practice in California. Offensive lineman Rob Jones broke a bone in his neck in the first padded practice of camp over the weekend and is expected to be out two to three months. Carson and Guyton are second-year players with strong chances to start. Carson would be filling in for Trevon Diggs, who isn't expected to be ready for the Sept. 4 opener at Philadelphia in what has been a long recovery from knee surgery. Last year, Carson surged into a starting role as a rookie fifth-round draft pick when DaRon Bland was diagnosed with a stress fracture in his foot late in the preseason and ended up missing the first 10 games. Carson was also limited by injuries, including a season-ending shoulder issue, and played in just six games all season after starting the first three. Diggs and Josh Butler, who tore an ACL late last season, are on the physically unable to perform list. Dallas added depth at cornerback for camp by signing Christian Matthew, a seventh-round pick by Arizona three years ago.
