Dallas, TX – September 23, 2025
The Dallas Cowboys have added a new piece to their offensive line, claiming a former first-round pick off waivers less than a day after the Philadelphia Eagles released him for the second time this season.
The move drew attention across the league, given how quickly Dallas acted. For a roster that has struggled with depth on the interior, this transaction reflects both urgency and opportunity heading into Week 4.
The player in question is Kenyon Green, originally drafted in the first round of the 2022 NFL Draft by the Houston Texans. Once projected as a franchise building block, his career has since been disrupted by injuries and inconsistency.
After a stint with Houston and a lost 2023 season due to knee issues, Green landed with the Eagles. Philadelphia waived, re-signed, and then waived him again in rapid succession before Dallas stepped in.
For the Cowboys, Green offers both upside and insurance. He appeared in 15 games as a rookie, flashing power in run-blocking, but has yet to prove himself against elite pass rushers. His health remains the biggest question mark.
The Cowboys’ offensive line has leaned heavily on its starters, and adding Green provides depth at a critical time. Coaches believe his talent and pedigree could translate into a valuable rotational role if developed properly.
For Green, this is a second chance to revive his career. What once looked like a promising path now demands resilience and adaptability as he begins a new chapter in Arlington.
As Dallas prepares for its upcoming matchup, fans and analysts alike will be watching closely to see if this waiver claim pays off — or if it becomes another missed opportunity.
