According to ESPN, the Dallas Cowboys are calling up linebacker Chris Covington from the practice squad after releasing running back Jordan Chunn, who played a special teams’ role in Week 1. Covington, a sixth-round pick in 2018, battled a shoulder injury for a part of training camp. With running back Mike Weber slowed by a knee injury, the Cowboys plan to add Darius Jackson to the practice squad.

One day after coach Adam Gase’s public criticism of the team, the Ney York Jets traded for wide receiver Demaryius Thomas and changed kickers for the third time since training camp. The Jets acquired Thomas from the New England Patriots for a 2021 sixth-round pick.  It was a first for Patriots coach Bill Belichick, who previously had executed a trade with every team except the Jets.

Cleveland Browns star Odell Beckham Jr. said that he still plans to wear, in games, the luxury watch that he sported in the season opener against the Tennessee Titans. “I’ll still be wearing it. “The same way I wear it every day I go to practice, when I go here, I go there, been wearing it. Take a shower with it on. It’s just on me.”
