The Dallas Cowboys have made another change to their quarterback room.

One day after parting ways with Ben DiNucci and Garrett Gilbert, the Cowboys claimed Will Grier. The former Panthers backup was beaten out by P.J. Walker in August, just two years after Carolina made him a third-round selection in the 2019 draft.

Now he'll compete with Cooper Rush to be Dallas' QB2 behind Dak Prescott. Grier has completed 28 of 52 passes (53.8%) for 228 yards with four interceptions in two career starts. Those are also his only two appearances, and they were both losses.
