The Ollison move says Zeke sits another week. 3 games in 12 days is not easy. TP will be auditioning for a RB1 roll for 2024.

Haven't heard much about this dude? Is he decent?????
Well of coarse, he was a 1st round, 5th overall pick of the Canadian league in 2018. We’re about the 5th teams practice squad he’s been on since. Sunday will be the 10th game he’s been active in since 2018!

The Cowboys have three quarterbacks on the 53-man roster; Dak Prescott, Cooper Rush and Will Grier. Each of the last two were originally on the practice squad, and were elevated the maximum of three times each while Prescott nursed his broken thumb.

That means their call-up eligibility is expired; they can’t be put back on the practice squad.

Think about it; Dallas would’ve preferred not to use roster space on backup QBs at all and now they’re eating up two. Rush isn’t going anywhere, not after going 4-1 in Prescott’s absence.

But if the team needs a spot for an Odell Beckham signing, or a Tyron Smith activation and want to go down to just two active QBs, then they’d have to expose Grier to waivers before placing him on the practice squad again. He’d be at risk and considering how well Rush did, it’s a fair assumption another of the 31 teams could want to see if the Cowboys’ QB Eye is just that good.

Therefore, the club should certainly be ready to call on a street FA as a potential practice squad signing for third QB.



They trying to make room for players without losing players. All the more they want Odell Beckham.

Just call him “Butter”. He’ll be auditioning for RB1 role too.
