The Cowboys are signing quarterback Will Grier to their practice squad in the wake of Dak Prescott’s season-ending hamstring injury, Newy Scruggs of NBC5 reports.
The move was expected after Prescott’s injury in Week 9 and Grier’s release from the Eagles on Thursday.
Grier, 29, spent 2021-22 with the Cowboys. They cut him before the start of the 2023 season after acquiring Trey Lance in a trade with the 49ers.
Grier threw for 305 passing yards and two touchdowns and also ran for two touchdowns in the final preseason game in 2023.
The Panthers made him a third-round pick in 2019, and he also has spent time with the Bengals, Patriots and Chargers.
He started two games for the Panthers as a rookie and has not appeared in an NFL regular-season game since.
The Cowboys are expected to place Prescott on injured reserve this week, leaving Cooper Rush and Lance on the active roster at the position.
