The Dallas Cowboys have signed quarterback Will Grier to their practice squad on Tuesday. Grier was recently cut off the Philadelphia Eagles practice squad, but it didn't take him long to find a new home. He figures to join the team as depth with Dak Prescott (hamstring) done for the season. The former third-round pick has done very little since being drafted by the Carolina Panthers in 2019. He played in two games as a rookie and hasn't done anything since then. Grier is likely brought in as depth in case Cooper Rush or Trey Lance suffer an injury at some point. The 29-year-old figures to remain on the practice squad going forward.

The Philadelphia Eagles signed former Dallas Cowboys and New England Patriots quarterback Will Grier to an undisclosed one-year deal on Saturday, according to sources. In the last week, the Eagles have now added Grier and former Pittsburgh Steelers QB Kenny Pickett to their QB room behind starter Jalen Hurts. Grier was originally a third-round pick by the Carolina Panthers in 2019 out of West Virginia. The 28-year-old has only made two starts in the NFL, and they came back in his rookie season in 2019 in Carolina, when he went 28-for-52 for 228 yards, no touchdowns and four interceptions. In addition to Hurts, Pickett and Grier, the Eagles also have Tanner McKee in their quarterback room. Grier and McKee figure to battle for No. 3 duties this summer.

The Los Angeles Chargers signed quarterback Will Grier off the New England Patriots practice squad on Monday, according to a source. It's the first significant move by interim general manager JoJo Wooden after both head coach Brandon Staley and long-time GM Tom Telesco were fired last Friday following the embarrassing 63-21 loss to the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders on Thursday night. The move gives the Bolts more quarterback insurance behind Easton Stick and rookie Max Duggan with regular starter Justin Herbert (finger) finished for the rest of the season. The 28-year-old Grier never saw the field in New England this year despite the team's struggles at QB, and he hasn't played in an NFL game since his rookie season in 2019 for the Carolina Panthers, when he went 28-for-52 for 228 yards, no touchdowns and four interceptions in two starts.

The New England Patriots re-signed quarterback Will Grier to their practice squad on Tuesday after they released him this past weekend. It was a bit odd that the Patriots waived Grier from the QB room with Mac Jones being benched yet again in the Week 12 loss to the New York Giants on Sunday. The Patriots didn't even really announce a starter in the lead-up to the Week 12 contest coming out of their bye. After another multi-interception performance and benching after halftime, it would be a surprise if Jones made the starter over Bailey Zappe in Week 13 against the Los Angeles Chargers. The 28-year-old Grier hasn't appeared in an NFL game since 2019, but if things continue to get worse at the position for New England, we could see him in there before the end of the year.

The New England Patriots waived quarterback Will Grier on Saturday, according to a source. Grier never ended up playing for the Patriots this year after they signed him to their active roster off the Cincinnati Bengals' practice squad in September, even with Mac Jones struggling mightily this year. The 28-year-old hasn't played in an NFL game since 2019 with the Carolina Panthers, when he went 28-for-52 for 228 yards, no touchdowns and four interceptions in two starts. There's a possibility that he lands back in New England on the practice squad if he clears waivers. The Patriots have yet to announce who is starting at QB for Week 12 against the New York Giants, but all signs point to the team sticking with Jones for at least another week.

The New England Patriots announced on Friday that they have signed quarterback Will Grier to the 53-man active roster from the Cincinnati Bengals' practice squad and moved defensive back Marcus Jones (shoulder) to Injured Reserve in a corresponding move. Grier will join the Patriots active roster to give the team more depth at the position behind starter Mac Jones and backup Bailey Zappe as they head into a Week 3 matchup against the division-rival New York Jets this Sunday. Grier will serve as the team's emergency third signal-caller for this week's game. Marcus Jones suffered a torn labrum in his shoulder in the Week 2 loss to the Miami Dolphins and will now have to miss at least the next four games.

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Will Grier, who will be released or traded in the coming days, was told that he would play the entire preseason finale so that he could showcase himself to prospective teams. He certainly did not disappoint, completing 29 of 35 passes for 305 yards and two touchdowns. He also impressed on the ground, rushing for 53 yards and scoring an additional two touchdowns.
