Re-ups with Jags Jacksonville re-signed Dallas on Monday.

Impact 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.

Sitting out playoff opener Dallas (coach's decision) is a healthy inactive for Sunday's wild-card game against the Bills.

Impact 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.

JANUARY 11 • ROTOWIRE

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.

Impact 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.

Signs with Jacksonville The Jaguars signed Deejay Dallas to the active roster Tuesday.

Impact 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.

DECEMBER 16, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Back to practice squad Dallas reverted to the Panthers' practice squad Tuesday, per the NFL transaction log.

Impact 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.

NOVEMBER 26, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

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.

Impact 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 logged just one carry for zero yards on offense. Versus the 49ers, Dallas will figure to similarly handle a reserve role behind Rico Dowdle, Chuba Hubbard and Trevor Etienne, while potentially also fielding kick returns. He'll revert to the practice squad after Monday's contest.

Staying in Carolina The Panthers signed Dallas to the practice squad Tuesday, Kassidy Hill of the team's official site reports.

Impact 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.

NOVEMBER 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Dropped by Carolina Dallas was released by the Panthers on Saturday, Sheena Quick of Fox Sports Radio 1340 reports.

Impact 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.

NOVEMBER 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

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.

Impact 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.

OCTOBER 15, 2025 • Associated Press

Gets first carry with Carolina Dallas carried once for zero yards and returned five kickoffs for 113 yards in Sunday's 30-27 win over the Cowboys.

Impact 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 12 snaps on offense -- just two 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. Dallas could end up getting the nod over Etienne due to his contributions on special teams, where he played 19 snaps in Week 6 and served as Carolina's kickoff and punt returner.
