  Falcons | Atlanta makes two roster moves    Tue Sep 13, 03:14 PM

Undrafted free-agent RB Blake Sims (Alabama) was signed to the Atlanta Falcons' practice squad Tuesday, Sept. 13. RB Gus Johnson was subsequently waived.

Footballguys view: Sims was a QB in college at Alabama, but he's made the transition to RB in the pros. Undrafted in 2015, Sims got to workout with the Packers and Washington (as a RB) but did not get signed. He spent last year in the CFL and now finds his way onto an NFL team.

  Cowboys | Gus Johnson separates shoulder    Fri Aug 14, 08:08 AM

Dallas Cowboys RB Gus Johnson (shoulder) suffered a separated AC joint in his shoulder in the first preseason game Thursday, Aug. 13.

Footballguys view: Johnson ran with power and good intention, but this injury could hurt his chances of making the team. With the uncertainty around the Cowboys backfield, high volume of their running game and quality of their offensive line, we'll be monitoring any running back that makes the team.

  Cowboys | Gus Johnson impressing QB    Tue Aug 11, 06:21 PM

Dallas Cowboys RB Gus Johnson drew praise from QB Tony Romo Tuesday, Aug. 11, for his work in practice Monday. Romo said Johnson did well in both short yardage and goal-line work.

Footballguys view: He's a name to keep an eye on because both Joseph Randle and Darren McFadden are banged up. We'll see if Johnson can continue to shine for the Cowboys in practice and the preseason.

  Cowboys | Joseph Randle may sit out    Tue Aug 11, 08:11 AM

Dallas Cowboys RB Joseph Randle (oblique) may sit out of the preseason game Thursday, Aug. 13, due to a slight oblique strain. Randle suffered the injury in practice Monday, Aug. 10. RB Gus Johnson took the first-team snaps with Randle out. FB Tyler Clutts also played some tailback and scored a touchdown in practice.

Footballguys view: The Cowboys don't need to aggravate any injury with their lead back. Randle should be a nice RB2 for fantasy owners this year running behind that incredible offensive line in Dallas.

  Cowboys | Gus Johnson signs with Dallas    Tue Jul 28, 11:37 AM

Undrafted free-agent RB Gus Johnson (Stephen F. Austin) signed an undisclosed deal with the Dallas Cowboys Tuesday, July 28.

Footballguys view: Johnson has a strong lower body, and he does a good job of keeping his pads low before contact. He lacks speed to the edge and will be a longshot to make an impact of any kind in the NFL.
