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.

The Cincinnati Bengals have signed quarterback Will Grier to the team's practice squad. Grier, who most recently spent time in Dallas, was released on roster cutdown day. His spot on the roster was taken when the Cowboys traded for Trey Lance. The team did let him play the entire preseason finale to show other teams what he could do. The former third-round pick showed off, throwing for 305 yards and two touchdowns. He added another 53 yards and two touchdowns on the ground. Grier is currently the third quarterback on the Bengals roster behind starter Joe Burrow and Jake Browning.

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. Needless to say, the 28-year-old should generate significant interest in the coming days, and it would not come as a surprise to see him make another team's 53-man roster.
