Cowboys' Jordan Hudson may return to college football soon
Summary

Dallas Cowboys rookie wide receiver Jordan Hudson, after a solid showing in the team's final preseason game against the New Orleans Saints, might be heading back to college football. Hudson caught two significant passes, including a touchdown, during the game, but his overall preseason performance raises doubts about his chances of making the Cowboys' 53-man roster. With an option to enter the transfer portal after being granted a temporary restraining order against the NCAA, Hudson could seek opportunities at a college team if released. He faces a decision soon regarding his football career, balancing staying in the NFL with potentially better financial incentives from a college program.
