Vikings' DeeJay Dallas: Signed to Vikings' active roster
The Vikings signed Dallas from the practice squad to the active roster Wednesday.
With Jordan Mason (thumb) landing on injured reserve, Dallas will presumably jump into a prominent role behind Aaron Jones. The 2020 No. 144 overall pick has appeared in contests for the Seahawks, Cardinals, Panthers, Jaguars and Vikings during his career. In 84 regular-season games, Dallas accumulated 538 yards and four touchdowns off 124 carries, adding 64 catches for 407 yards and two touchdowns.

DeeJay Dallas: Reverts to Minnesota's practice squad
Dallas reverted to the Vikings' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Dallas played just six offensive snaps in Sunday's win over the Packers. The running back made a larger impact on special teams, logging one tackle on kick coverage over 14 special-teams snaps. Dallas can only be elevated two more times, and after that point he may only play for the Vikings if he is signed to the active roster.

Vikings' DeeJay Dallas: Elevated for Sunday
The Vikings elevated Dallas from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Craig Peters of the team's official site reports.
Dallas signed with the Vikings on Sept. 2 after being released by the Jaguars during cutdown day. The running back will likely provide a special teams presence in Sunday's game against the Packers with minimal offensive usage.

DeeJay Dallas: Catches on with Minnesota's practice squad
The Vikings signed Dallas to the practice squad Wednesday, Rob Kleifield reports.
The Jaguars released Dallas during Sunday's cut-down day. The running back cleared waivers and has found a new home with the Vikings. Dallas appeared in six games last year, totalling three rush attempts for 21 yards between the Panthers and Jaguars rosters.

Jaguars' DeeJay Dallas: Re-ups with Jags
Jacksonville re-signed Dallas on Monday.
Dallas appeared in six total regular-season games between Carolina and Jacksonville in 2025, in which span he rushed twice for 21 yards and failed to secure his only target. He also logged 12 kickoff returns for 321 yards. Dallas ended the 2025 campaign on the Jaguars' roster but he was made a healthy scratch for the team's sole postseason contest, a wild-card round loss to the Bills. If the Jaguars opt to let Travis Etienne depart as a free agent this offseason, Dallas could find himself competing for an interesting depth role.

Jaguars' DeeJay Dallas: Sitting out playoff opener
Dallas (coach's decision) is a healthy inactive for Sunday's wild-card game against the Bills.
Dallas suited up for the Jaguars over the final three games of the regular season and had been a key contributor on special teams, but Jacksonville has opted to make him a healthy scratch for the playoff opener in order to prioritize depth at other positions. Between his stops with Carolina and Jacksonville during the regular season, Dallas played in six total games and carried twice for 21 yards while failing to haul in his lone target. He also brought back 12 kickoffs for 321 yards.

Jaguars' DeeJay Dallas: Efficient in Week 17
Dallas rushed twice for 21 yards and didn't catch his lone target during Sunday's 23-16 win over the Colts. He added two kickoff returns for 62 yards.
Dallas received his first two carries since joining the Jaguars during the Week 17 win, averaging 10.5 yards per rush. The veteran from Miami also contributed on special teams, tallying a team-high 62 kick-return yards. Expect Dallas to remain one of Jacksonville's top kick returners in the Week 18 matchup against the Titans, even if Bhayshul Tuten (finger) returns from injury.

Jaguars' DeeJay Dallas: Signs with Jacksonville
The Jaguars signed Deejay Dallas to the active roster Tuesday.
Dallas was signed off the Panthers' practice squad and will be the No. 4 running back for the Jaguars going into Week 16. The running back played in three games for the Panthers, totalling 16 offensive snaps with one rush attempt for zero yards. If Bhayshul Tuten (finger) is unable to suit up, Dallas will join LeQuint Allen as a rotational backup to starter Travis Etienne.

DeeJay Dallas: Back to practice squad
Dallas reverted to the Panthers' practice squad Tuesday, per the NFL transaction log.
Dallas was active for the first time since Week 6 after being elevated from the Panthers' practice squad. He logged 16 special teams snaps in Monday's loss to the 49ers but did not record a stat.

Panthers' DeeJay Dallas: Elevated to face 49ers
The Panthers have elevated Dallas from the practice squad to the active roster for Monday's contest against San Francisco, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.
Dallas has previously appeared in two regular-season games with Carolina this year, having been a part of the team's active roster at the time. In that span he primarily contributed in the return game, and he logged just one carry for zero yards on offense. Versus the 49ers, Dallas figures to similarly handle a reserve role behind Rico Dowdle, Chuba Hubbard and Trevor Etienne while potentially also fielding kickoff returns. He'll revert to the practice squad after Monday's contest.

DeeJay Dallas: Staying in Carolina
The Panthers signed Dallas to the practice squad Tuesday, Kassidy Hill of the team's official site reports.
Dallas was released from the Panthers' active roster Saturday, but the 2020 fourth-rounder has opted to stay in Carolina as a member of the team's practice squad. He would be a top candidate to be elevated to the Panthers' 53-man roster if Rico Dowdle, Chuba Hubbard or Trevor Etienne were to miss time due to injury, illness or suspension. Dallas played for the Panthers in Weeks 5 and 6 and accumulated 141 kick return yards.

DeeJay Dallas: Dropped by Carolina
Dallas was released by the Panthers on Saturday, Sheena Quick of Fox Sports Radio 1340 reports.
The veteran running back was a healthy scratch in each of the Panthers' last two games, so it's no surprise that he was let go Saturday. Dallas appeared in two games and played 49 total snaps (33 on special teams, 16 on offense) for Carolina this season, recording 141 kick-return yards. He'll likely return to the Panthers' practice squad if he goes unclaimed on waivers.

Panthers' DeeJay Dallas: Inactive for second straight game
Dallas (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bills, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
Dallas will be in street clothes for the second straight game while the Panthers go with Chuba Hubbard, Rico Dowdle and Trevor Etienne as their available running backs. Over his two appearances with Carolina this season, Dallas primarily served as a kickoff return man, but the Panthers appear to be comfortable with Etienne handling those duties for the time being.

Panthers' DeeJay Dallas: Gets first carry with Carolina
Dallas carried once for zero yards and returned one kickoff for 28 yards in Sunday's 30-27 win over the Cowboys.
For the second straight week, Dallas suited up as the Panthers' No. 3 running back behind Rico Dowdle and Trevor Etienne while Chuba Hubbard (calf) remained sidelined. Dallas ended up playing four snaps on offense -- just four fewer than Etienne -- but Dowdle once again dominated the playing time while accounting for 34 of the 38 touches from the Carolina backfield. If Hubbard returns for the Panthers' Week 7 game against the Jets, Carolina will likely keep just one of Dallas and Etienne active for the contest, with either running back expected to see most of his playing time on special teams.

Panthers' DeeJay Dallas: Signs with active roster
The Panthers signed Dallas off their practice squad Wednesday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.
The 27-year-old running back signed with Carolina's practice squad after failing to make the Cardinals' initial 53-man roster in late August. However, Dallas has now been promoted to the active roster and will likely operate in a depth role in the Panthers' backfield, playing behind Chuba Hubbard, Rico Dowdle and Trevor Etienne.

DeeJay Dallas: Signs with Carolina
The Panthers signed Dallas to their practice squad Thursday, Sheena Quick of Fox Sports Radio 1340 reports.
The Cardinals released Dallas earlier in the week. The veteran running back appeared in all 17 regular-season games with Arizona last season, rushing nine times for 49 yards while catching three passes for 11 yards and one touchdown. Most of Dallas' contributions came on special teams, where he returned 15 kickoffs for 459 yards and one touchdown.

DeeJay Dallas: Released by Arizona
Dallas was released by the Cardinals on Tuesday, Darren Urban of the team's official website reports.
Dallas appeared in all three preseason games with Arizona, turning seven carries into 13 rushing yards and two catches into 11 yards through the air. The running back also compiled 129 yards on five kick returns, which is something he specialized in with Arizona in 2024, recording 459 yards and a score on kick returns over 17 regular-season games. Dallas will likely find a new team in the near future.

Cardinals' DeeJay Dallas: Mostly used on special teams
Dallas tallied nine carries for 49 yards and no touchdowns, three catches (on three targets) for 11 yards and one TD and 15 kick returns for 459 yards and another score in 17 games during the 2024 campaign.
Dallas took advantage of the NFL's new kickoff rules, reeling off a 98-yard TD return in a Week 1 loss at Buffalo. He was limited to special teams through Week 8, but as injuries took a toll on the Arizona backfield down the stretch, he earned touches in each of the last four contests. He's under contract through 2026, but with James Conner (knee), 2024 third-rounder Trey Benson (ankle) and Emari Demercado (back) also on the books, Dallas should remain primarily a special teamer.
