Cowboys' Ryan Flournoy: Signs one-year extension
Flournoy agreed to a one-year contract extension worth up to $6 million with Dallas on Thursday, NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reports.
Flournoy has been a nice find for the Cowboys after they selected him in the sixth round of the 2024 NFL Draft. The wideout tallied a career-best 40 catches for 475 yards and four touchdowns over 16 regular-season games last year and is set for a larger role as the team's No. 3 wide receiver in 2026. Flournoy now is in line to remain with Dallas through 2027, and he could be a great value if he proves to be productive with potentially increased opportunities during the upcoming campaign.

Cowboys' Ryan Flournoy: Locked in as WR3
Flournoy is listed as the Cowboys' third wide receiver on the depth chart behind CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens.
Lamb, Pickens and tight end Jake Ferguson each saw 100-plus targets from Dak Prescott last season, and each of those three pass catchers should see a similar workload in 2026. Flournoy, a sixth-round selection of the Cowboys in the 2024 NFL Draft, saw his offensive production jump in his sophomore campaign, finishing with 40 catches (on 56 targets) for 475 yards and four touchdowns across 16 regular-season games. The Cowboys' offense ranked second in the NFL last season in passing yards per game, and Flournoy would be in line for a bigger workload if one of Lamb, Pickens or Ferguson were to miss time. One of Flournoy's best performances in 2025 was in Week 5 against the Jets, when he caught six passes (on nine targets) for 114 yards in a game that Lamb didn't play in due to an ankle injury.

Cowboys' Ryan Flournoy: Not in line to play Saturday
Flournoy isn't suited up ahead of Saturday's preseason opener versus Seattle, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
Flournoy won't play in the Cowboys' first preseason game, and coach Brian Schottenheimer said in early August that he's planning for the team's starters not to play at all during the preseason. However, Flournoy should have plenty of opportunities to continue to build chemistry with QB Dak Prescott during training-camp practices. Flournoy is essentially locked into the Cowboys' No. 3 receiver role, though that might not come with extensive opportunity behind the dynamic WR duo of CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens.

Cowboys' Ryan Flournoy: Impresses during spring work
Coach Brian Schottenheimer singled out Flournoy as someone who stood out during spring practices, Joseph Hoyt of The Dallas Morning News reports.
"You saw him take that step, I'd say in the middle of the season last year and he came back, man, with just a really strong intent for what he wanted to get done," Schottenheimer said. "He looks great. He's moving great. His routes, I think have gotten better. Here's a guy from a small school that's come in and really adapted to the way we teach route breaks and releases and speed terms and power cuts and things like that. I really think the sky's the limit for him and he's definitely a guy we see finding ways to get him the ball." Flournoy is locked into the Cowboys' third receiver spot behind CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens, and he's one of the best bench stashes at the wideout spot in fantasy. If either Lamb or Pickens were to get injured, Flournoy would assume an every-down role in a high-octane passing attack. With Lamb out for three games last regular season, Flournoy produced one of his two 100-yard receiving games and was targeted 17 times across those three contests.

Cowboys' Ryan Flournoy: Five catches in defeat
Flournoy caught five of seven targets for 68 yards in Sunday's 34-17 loss to the Giants.
Flournoy was able to pace the team in catches and receiving yards as Dallas opted to rest starters CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens, amongst others, after the early moments of the contest. Flournoy finished his second season in Dallas reeling in 40 of 56 targets for 475 yards and four touchdowns while adding 25 yards on four carries over 16 regular-season contests. With Pickens potentially set to become a free agent this offseason, Flournoy could step into a more substantial role next season behind Lamb in the Cowboys' offense.

Cowboys' Ryan Flournoy: Upgrades to full practice
Flournoy (knee) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
Flournoy was limited in practice Wednesday after having missed Week 17 due to a knee injury, but it appears he's ready to go for Dallas' season finale against the Giants on Sunday. Across 15 regular-season appearances, the second-year pro has secured 35 of 49 targets for 407 yards and four touchdowns. He's also logged four carries for 25 rushing yards.

Cowboys' Ryan Flournoy: Limited Wednesday
Flournoy (knee) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
Flournoy wasn't able to play last Thursday in Washington on a short week after he sprained his right knee Week 16 against the Chargers. By kicking off this week with a capped session, he appears to have a chance to return to action Sunday at the Giants, but his status will be monitored as the week continues to get a sense of his odds to play in the Cowboys' regular-season finale.

Cowboys' Ryan Flournoy: Inactive on Christmas
Flournoy (knee) is listed as inactive Thursday at Washington, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
Flournoy was forced out of this past Sunday's loss to the Chargers in the first half due to a knee injury and wasn't able to return. He proceeded to be limited at Monday's walkthrough, but a lack of on-field work Tuesday and Wednesday seemingly forecast his imminent inactive status. With Flournoy out Week 17, KaVontae Turpin, Jonathan Mingo and Jalen Tolbert will be the tertiary wide receivers behind starters CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens. Next up for Flournoy is a Week 18 road matchup with the Giants.

Cowboys' Ryan Flournoy: Setback at practice
Flournoy (knee) was listed as a non-participant in Tuesday's practice, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
Dallas had deemed Flournoy a limited participant for Monday's walk-through session, but the wideout may have suffered a setback in that workout that prompted the team to hold him out for Tuesday's practice. Flournoy was still present at the Cowboys' facility Tuesday, though he was relegated to rehabbing off to the side and was sporting a brace on his right knee, per Todd Archer of ESPN.com. He'll have one more chance to practice this week before the Cowboys decide whether he'll take a designation into Thursday's game at Washington.

Cowboys' Ryan Flournoy: Questionable for Thursday
Flournoy (knee) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game in Washington, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
Flournoy wasn't able to return to this past Sunday's game against the Chargers following a hit on which opposing linebacker Denzel Perryman was penalized for unnecessary roughness. The wide receiver was diagnosed with a sprained right knee afterward, and he followed an LP/DNP/DNP practice regimen since then, indicating that he may be more likely to sit out Week 17 than suit up. Ultimately, Flournoy's status will be confirmed about 90 minutes before Thursday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Cowboys' Ryan Flournoy: Limited to begin Week 17 prep
Flournoy (knee) was estimated as a limited participant on Monday's injury report, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
Flournoy was forced out of Dallas' loss to the Chargers in Week 16 due to an illegal hit by Denzel Perryman, for which the opposing linebacker has been suspended two games. It's encouraging to see Flournoy already evidently healthy enough to be listed as handling limited practice reps, though the Cowboys only held a walkthrough Monday. For his part, the wideout indicated that he's going to try to play Thursday against the Commanders, Joe Hoyt of The Dallas Morning News notes, but chances are, Flournoy will approach the contest with an injury designation.
