FRISCO, Texas – Two more roster moves helped the Cowboys near completion of their 53-man roster on Sunday.

The Cowboys officially signed veteran quarterback Mark Sanchez, who was reportedly expected to sign after being released by the Denver Broncos. To make room for Sanchez on the roster, the team released Jameill Showers, who served as the No. 3 quarterback for most of the preseason.

The Cowboys also signed seven players to their practice squad, including 2015 fifth-round draft pick Ryan Russell and 2016 sixth-round draft pick Rico Gathers – both of whom were released on Saturday.

All seven of the signees were players the Cowboys released at the conclusion of training camp. They also added center Jake Brendel, wide receiver Andy Jones, linebacker Deon King, wide receiver Vince Mayle and Austin Taylor rounded out the list.

For the time being, three spots remain open on the 10-man practice squad. If Showers clears waivers, the Cowboys could seek to make him the eighth member of the group as an insurance policy.

He was waived injured. He could be brought back once healthy.
