During an interview with Variety last June, Whiteley discussed his hopes for Season 2. 'Our last two or three weeks of filming, we were just starting to hit our stride. I'd love to have more time to see if we can get deeper and deeper with more and more of the team,' Whiteley said.
'Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders' joins Netflix's continued relationship with the Dallas Cowboys, including the upcoming docuseries 'America's Team: The Gambler and His Cowboys,' which is set to release in August.

Jaguars scratch Travis Hunter ahead of preseason game against the Saints
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Travis Hunter was scratched Sunday by the Jacksonville Jaguars before their preseason game against the New Orleans Saints. Hunter, the 2024 Heisman Trophy winner out of Colorado and No. 2 pick in last spring's NFL draft, had missed practice in recent days because of what team officials have described as an upper-body injury. The Jaguars also scratched veteran wide receiver Dyami Brown, although it was not immediately clear why. Hunter and Brown both played in Jacksonville's preseason opener last week, a 31-25 loss to Pittsburgh. Hunter, a rare, two-way player, caught two passes for 9 yards and also participated in eight plays as a defensive back. Brown had 7 yards rushing on an end-around. ___ AP NFL:

Former Packers QB Throws Brutal Shade at Coaching Staff
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The Green Bay Packers are fresh off of a 23-19 win over the Indianapolis Colts in their second preseason game of the year. While they won the game, it was also their seconds straight ugly preseason outing of the year. So far, there hasn't been a lot for Packers fans to cheer about. On both sides of the football, the team has looked sluggish. Granted, the starters have not seen much playing time. Matt LaFleur has not been known to play his first team very much in exhibition games. However, there is some reason for concern about how unengaged the team has looked. Head coach Matt LaFleur of the Green Bay Packers reacts during the second quarter of the game against the Minnesota Vikings at Lambeau Field on September 29, 2024 in Green Bay, Wisconsin.

Read more: Packers QB Jordan Love Shares Significant Injury Update Kurt Benkert, who spent some time with the Packers and was a fan favorite, took to social media to share his sharp opinion about Green Bay. He has not liked what he has seen thus far during the team's two preseason games. "I don't care that it's preseason," Benkert wrote on X. "The product the Packers have put on the field looks disgusting. The games don't matter but have some pride in the performance at least a LITTLE bit." He continued on, shading the coaching staff for being "unprepared" even when he was on the team. "I dealt with this when I was there," he wrote. "We played against the Jets first team defense for an entire half and were completely unprepared for their nickel double mug package. It's frustrating when you're trying to put your best foot forward and you're not given a schematic chance." That is not a glowing opinion when it comes to head coach Matt LaFleur. Calling the team "unprepared" usually falls back on the head coach for not having his group ready to play. From a scheme perspective, that would also fall on LaFleur.

Either way, the product that the Packers have put on the field over the course of two preseason games has not looked good. Hopefully, the team is able to get things firing on all cylinders by the time their Week 1 matchup with the Detroit Lions comes around. Only time will tell, but Benkert's comments certainly resonate for Green Bay fans. In a season that is expected to come with Super Bowl contention, at least seeing a team playing sharp football in the preseason would be nice.
