September 2, 2014

Per ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Dallas Cowboys plan to bring Michael Sam to Dallas on Wednesday for a physical. If all goes well, Dallas would like to sign Sam to the practice squad.

The St. Louis Rams released Sam on Saturday. The seventh-round pick cleared waivers and met with St. Louis head coach Jeff Fisher on Sunday, but the team opted not to sign last year’s Co-SEC Player of the Year to its practic squad. Schefter tweeted earlier today:

Cowboys plan to bring Michael Sam to Dallas for a physical Wednesday, per team source. If all goes well, Sam will be a Cowboy.

To be clear, Dallas would like to sign Michael Sam to practice squad, not active roster. First things first. Physical Wednesday.

The parents of a paralyzed Humboldt Broncos hockey player are preparing for the next phase of his recovery — his return home. Straschnitzki was paralyzed from the chest down in a crash between a semi-trailer and a bus carrying the junior hockey team at a rural Saskatchewan intersection in April. The 19-year-old is expected to return home to Airdrie, just north of Calgary, in a matter of weeks. His father, Tom Straschnitzki, says he's already gone through six training programs on how to care for his son once he's no longer under the constant watchful eye of medical personnel.
