The Dallas Cowboys open the second half of the season with a 3-5 record after losing three straight games. They mostly chose to remain silent at the deadline, with the exception of making a trade for Jonathan Mingo.
Their quarterback problem is the most important issue they must resolve for their game against the Eagles in Week 10 and beyond. Last week, Dak Prescott sustained a severe hamstring injury that could endanger his season-long condition. The rest of the NFL is making roster changes while the Cowboys must decide between Cooper Rush and Trey Lance. The Philadelphia Eagles, the NFC East opponents, reportedly changed their quarterback depth right after the trade deadline. Philadelphia cut former Cowboys signal-caller Will Grier from their practice squad, according to Eagles source Jeff Mclane.

The Cowboys, who require more depth at quarterback following Prescott’s injury, may now consider Grier. Additionally, having Grier in might help the Cowboys prepare for their rivals, especially with Dallas and Philadelphia playing each other on Sunday.
Despite spending two seasons in Dallas, the 29-year-old never played. He hasn’t really participated in an NFL game since his debut season with Carolina in 2019. Grier was cut before the 2023 season because he was no longer needed after the Cowboys acquired Trey Lance. After that, he played for the Eagles, Chargers, Patriots, and Bengals, but he hasn’t been able to establish himself on an active roster. The Eagles are among the teams with three quarterbacks on their 53-man roster, but they currently do not have a quarterback on their practice squad. Jalen Hurts’ backups are still Tanner McKee and Kenny Pickett.
