Wide receiver Parris Campbell joins a growing list of players walking away from football. Following his decision to retire, the Dallas Cowboys placed the 28-year-old on the reserve/retired list on Wednesday.
“Parris Campbell is hanging up his cleats in 2026. The veteran wide receiver has made the decision to officially retire from the NFL, also ending his tenure with the Dallas Cowboys, and will be moved to the team’s reserve/retired list,” the Cowboys said via their team’s official website.
Campbell spent time on injured reserve and the practice squad last season and did not appear in a regular season game for Dallas before signing a reserve/futures contract in January.
