The suit also accuses teams of conducting sham interviews simply to adhere to the league’s Rooney Rule, which mandates at least two external minority hires for head coaching, coordinator and executive positions....

Two of the team’s five seventh-round draft picks this year were waived Saturday, cornerback Terrance Mitchell and linebacker Will Smith. Williams, a 2011 second-round pick who had three injury-filled seasons with Arizona, was Dallas’ leading rusher in the preseason but missed the finale with a groin strain. Byrd and Newsome were the top two receivers in the exhibition games, but the Cowboys went to training camp all but set at the position....

Is there any reason for concern with Elliott’s lacking touches in the season opener? Cowboys offensive coordinator Kellen Moore doesn’t think so.

While Elliott’s replacement rushing committee (Alfred Morris and Rod Smith) combined to average 4.6 yards per carry Sunday, Prescott was sacked a shocking eight times. Six came from Adrian Clayborn, the Falcons’ situational edge rusher, at the expense of Smith’s overwhelmed fill-ins, Chaz Green and Byron Bell....

The party’s fault lines were present as Republican leaders gathered in Salt Lake City, Utah, to set a course for the GOP as the 2022 midterm elections approach. Some party leaders signaled that it’s time for the party to look forward to ways to broaden its appeal instead of being ensnared in the feuds of the former president, who remains popular with large segments of the GOP. “[Trump] needs to figure out a way to be constructive and not destructive: Help the party raise money; stay out of primaries unless there’s a really good reason,” William Palatucci, an RNC member from New Jersey, told NBC News....
