Late on Tuesday night, the Dallas Renegades of the XFL sent out a press release stating that former Syracuse football quarterback Eric Dungey was being placed on the “reserve/left squad list” due to a family matter.
In a corresponding move, the Renegades added former HBO Hard Knocks’ star, Brogan Roback. In addition, Dallas also swapped two linebackers. Johathan Calvin was placed on injured reserve and linebacker Gerald Rivers was added to the roster to replace him.
This news out of nowhere seemingly indicated the end of Dungey and the XFL altogether, but shortly after the press release, Dungey came out on social media and provided a statement on the situation to clarify things:
“Very fortunate Coach Stoops understands and supports the meaning of family first and is allowing me to be released for the week due to personal family reasons.
