Dallas signed McKeon from its practice squad to the 53-man roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game versus Chicago, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
What it means:
McKeon had already been brought up with his three allowed standard elevations, and with regular starting tight end Dalton Schultz (knee) still struggling with a PCL sprain, the Cowboys saw fit to promote McKeon for good. He has one reception for 10 yards on one target through three games in 2022.
McKeon reverted to the Cowboys' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
What it means:
McKeon was elevated for the third time this season ahead of Sunday's 24-6 win over the Lions. However, the third-year tight end saw his lowest offensive usage of the year, playing 16 of his 18 snaps on special teams against Detroit. McKeon has now recorded one reception (on one target) for 10 yards in 2022, and he will require a full spot on the active roster in order to suit up for Dallas again this season.
Dallas elevated McKeon to the 53-man roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's Week 7 clash against the Commanders.
What it means:
This is the third elevation of the season for McKeon, who was also active in Weeks 3 and 6. He has logged 20 total offensive snaps on the campaign, catching his only target for 10 yards. Since he's now been elevated three times, he'll need to be signed to the 53-man roster the next time the Cowboys desire his services for gameday.
McKeon reverted to the Cowboys' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
What it means:
McKeon was elevated to Dallas' active roster for the second game in a row, as tight end Dalton Schultz was still unable to suit up while dealing with a lingering PCL sprain. As a result, the 24-year-old hauled in his lone target for 10 yards while playing nine of the Cowboys' 67 offensive snaps behind Peyton Hendershot and Jake Ferguson. McKeon also appeared on seven special-teams snaps, and he is now eligible for just one more elevation from Dallas' practice squad this season.
The Cowboys elevated McKeon from the practice squad Saturday.
What it means:
The addition of McKeon gives Dallas a fourth option at tight end behind Dalton Schultz, Jake Ferguson and Peyton Hendershot ahead of Sunday's game in Philadelphia. It's unclear if McKeon will be active for the contest.
McKeon reverted to the Cowboys' practice squad Tuesday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
What it means:
McKeon received the bump to the active roster with Dalton Schultz (knee) unable to play. He saw 11 snaps on offense and nine on special teams, but he failed to tally any stats. Depending on Schultz' status for Week 4 against Washington, McKeon may be called upon again.
