Flournoy recalled the events of the day, especially his meeting with Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer.
“It was a meeting, probably a quick 10-minute meeting, he said he would love to get me back, for me to survive waivers and stuff like that,” Flournoy said. “That he would be devastated if I was to go to a different team. I came back, got put on practice squad, got elevated and everything he said came true. He is a man of his word.”
Sure enough, Flournoy was back with his teammates in no time on the practice squad shortly thereafter. Two weeks later, he was signed back to the active roster where he’s been ever since.
“Just keep working every single day,” Flournoy said of his mindset. “I’m a person to grind. I don’t want to get handouts, I always want to be on time, I always want to be on time, I always want to do the right thing. I feel like I get rewarded for doing stuff like that. Even when stuff doesn’t go my way, it’s okay, I just continue to put my head down and just keep going.”
