After all, Jerry Jones had a move up his sleeve.

The Dallas Cowboys agreed to acquire wide receiver Jonathan Mingo from the Carolina Panthers, sending him a fourth-round pick while receiving a seventh-round pick, a person with knowledge of the matter said. deal to Tyler Dragon of USA TODAY Sports. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the trade was not yet official.

NFL Network was first to report the move.

Prior to the deal, Jones said during an interview with 105.3 The Fan on Tuesday that the team brought in a receiver that the team really liked during the draft process.

Mingo, 23, was a second-round pick out of Mississippi in 2023. He has struggled to make his mark amid the Panthers’ broader offensive struggles, catching just 43 of 85 targets in his rookie campaign. He has just 12 catches for 121 yards in nine games this year.

The acquisition of the Cowboys comes amid serious injuries on offense for the 3-5 team. Quarterback Dak Prescott will likely be placed on injured reserve and miss at least four games because of his hamstring injury, Jones said Tuesday. Top wide receiver CeeDee Lamb is also dealing with a shoulder injury.

How did the Cowboys do in our trade classes? Look away, Dallas fans.

The Cincinnati Bengals have added depth in the backfield as they prepare for a potential late-season run.

The Bengals are acquiring running back Khalil Herbert from the Chicago Bears in exchange for a seventh-round draft pick in 2025, the Bears announced.

The Bengals faced uncertain prospects for running back Chase Brown after Zack Moss was sidelined indefinitely by a neck injury that kept him out of Sunday’s win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Moss 74 has racked up 242 yards and two touchdowns so far this season.

Herbert, 26, has been a healthy scratch in the last two games for the Bears. He has just eight carries for 16 yards this season, while starter D’Andre Swift and backup Roschon Johnson have done the bulk of the work. However, last season he rushed for 611 yards, averaging 4.6 yards per carry.

The Detroit Lions finally have their fill-in pass rusher.

According to multiple reports, the team acquired Za’Darius Smith from the Cleveland Browns on Tuesday. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported that Smith and a 2026 seventh-round draft pick will end up with the Lions, who in turn will receive a 2025 fifth-round draft pick and a 2026 sixth-round draft pick.

Lions coach Dan Campbell had acknowledged for weeks that the team was looking defensively for a replacement for Pro Bowl selection Aidan Hutchinson, who suffered a broken tibia and fibula against the Dallas Cowboys.

“I don’t think it’s entirely up to us,” Campbell said Monday. “I can tell you we’re trying, (Lions general manager) Brad (Holmes is doing that too), and we’ve looked at everything, we really have. We’ve been making a lot of calls and he’s working on it, so we’ll see. We still have a little time here. We still have until tomorrow night, so we’ll see what happens.”

Smith has five sacks in nine games so far this season.
