Will Grier: Reverts to practice squad
Grier reverted to the Cowboys' practice squad Monday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.
Grier did not play during Sunday's win over Washington after being elevated from Dallas' practice squad for the third week in a row. The 2019 third-round pick has essentially served as the Cowboy's backup quarterback behind Cooper Rush while starter Dak Prescott (thumb) has been sidelined. However, Grier is no longer eligible for any further practice-squad promotions with Dallas and will need to secure a full-time roster spot in order to suit up for the team again this season.

Cowboys' Will Grier: Signs to active roster
Dallas signed Grier to its 53-man roster Tuesday, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
The Cowboys had already used their allowed three standard practice squad elevations on him in Weeks 2, 3 and 4, so with Dak Prescott (thumb) likely sitting out another game this Sunday, they saw fit to sign Grier to the active roster. The 27-year-old signal caller did not play a snap in any of the three games for which he's been called up so far, and he's just an insurance policy in case Cooper Rush goes down.

Will Grier: Back on practice squad
Grier reverted to the Cowboys' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Grier did not see the field this past Sunday after being promoted to Dallas' active roster ahead of the team's win over Cincinnati. The 2019 third-round pick served as the Cowboys' backup quarterback behind Cooper Rush, who went 19 of 31 for 235 yards and one touchdown in place of injured starter Dak Prescott (thumb). Grier will likely see two more such elevations from the team's practice squad with Prescott expected to sit out until at least Week 4 while recovering from thumb surgery.

Cowboys' Will Grier: Bumped up to active roster
The Cowboys elevated Grier from their practice squad to the active roster Saturday for Sunday's contest against the Bengals, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Cooper Rush is expected to draw the start in place of Dak Prescott (thumb), and Grier will operate as the primary backup. However, Grier may get a chance to showcase his abilities if Rush struggles early on. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said earlier this week that Rush separated from Grier at the end of the preseason due to Grier's hamstring injury, but he would trust either one of them to lead Dallas on Sunday. "We'll be evaluating all options," Jones said. "Those guys know the offense well. They've had a lot of reps in it, and consequently give us our best shot."
