The Dallas Cowboys have made an addition at quarterback this week following Dak Prescott’s injury, having re-signed Will Grier after cutting him before last season.

The acquisition was expected after Grier was released by the Philadelphia Eagles on Thursday, especially given the Cowboys’ injury situation.

Team beat reporter Nick Eatman confirmed the player had joined the practice squad late Tuesday afternoon.

The 29-year-old was with the Cowboys from 2021-2022 but was released before the start of the 2023 season after the team traded for Trey Lance.

He played their final preseason game after being informed of his fate, though it didn’t seem to bother him as he threw for 305 passing yards and two touchdowns, also running two scores in himself in that fixture.

Will Grier Has Never Played A Regular Season Game In The NFL

The Carolina Panthers drafted Will Grier in the third round in 2019. He started two games for them as a rookie and hasn’t appeared in a regular season game since.

He has also had stints with the Cincinnati Bengals, New England Patriots, and Los Angeles Chargers.

Meanwhile, Dallas is expected to place Prescott on the injury reserve after he undergoes season-ending surgery this week, which will leave them with Lance and Cooper Rush as active-roster QBs.

The Dallas Cowboys found an easy way to prevent the sun from ruining their press conference but have refused to take action when it comes to games.

The team came under fire for their sunlight issues after Sunday’s loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, with one particular play standing out as CeeDee Lamb missed an easy catch for a touchdown because he simply could not see the ball.

The NFC East side boasts a $1.2 billion stadium with huge windows but refuses to use curtains despite the sun continuing to cost them games, although they will take measures (shown below) to prevent sunlight from impacting press conferences, which we have to assume are less important.

At Least The Dallas Cowboys Recognize There’s A Problem

On the bright side – pun intended – the Dallas Cowboys are aware that the sun is a problem at their stadium. If it was bad enough for Mike McCarthy to need protection, imagine how it must be for someone trying to make a catch.

In any case, the stadium does have curtains. They’re used for various other events, including concerts and boxing… just not for football.
