The Cowboys just made a move to shore up their quarterback depth, snatching Kyle Trask for their practice squad. This wasn’t some casual signing, though; they were forced into action after losing Joe Milton, who just jumped ship to the Eagles. Philly desperately needed a QB after their starter, Jalen Hurts, got sidelined for the entire season. Talk about a domino effect!
Philly’s Disaster Creates Dallas’s Opportunity
Losing Milton meant the Cowboys had a hole to fill, and fast. The Eagles’ starter, Hurts, getting knocked out for the season clearly sent shockwaves through the league, and Dallas found themselves impacted directly. With Dak Prescott and Sam Howell already on the depth chart, bringing in another arm for the practice squad became a priority to avoid getting caught flat-footed.
Who Exactly is Kyle Trask?
So, who’s the new guy in Dallas? Kyle Trask, a former second-round pick by the Buccaneers in 2021, spent his training camp with the Panthers this year before getting cut on August 30. He’s been a free agent since then. His NFL experience is pretty limited: he appeared in seven games with the Bucs, playing a grand total of 32 snaps. His stat line reads 4-of-11 for 28 yards. He even had a brief stint on the Falcons’ practice squad last season. It’s a depth move, no doubt, but that’s a whole lot of moving parts for a QB with such little on-field production.
Besides the Trask signing, the Cowboys were busy with other roster shuffles. They also brought safety Juanyeh Thomas up from the practice squad to the active roster. To make room for Thomas, they waived cornerback Caelen Carson. Clearly, the team is trying to fine-tune their roster as the season pushes forward.
