The Dallas Cowboys are coming off a brutal loss to the Chicago Bears on Sunday.\u00a0 The loss dropped Dallas to 1-2 on the year with a game against the Packers on deck.\u00a0 Falling to 1-3 on the year isn\u2019t something Dallas can afford.<\/p>\n

However, there\u2019s another hurdle they will now have to overcome.<\/p>\n

An exciting young star is lost to the Texans in a shocking move for the Cowboys<\/h3>\n

On Wednesday, the Texans will have a new defensive back at practice:<\/p>\n

According to multiple reports, they have signed Zion Childress to their 53-man roster. Childress was on the Cowboys\u2019 practice squad.<\/p>\n

Childress signed with the Cowboys as an undrafted free agent this offseason and returned to the practice squad after being one of the team\u2019s final cuts this summer. He was elevated for two of the team\u2019s first three games and made a tackle on special teams.<\/p>\n

The Texans had an opening in their secondary after releasing safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson on Tuesday, so they do not need to make a corresponding move to get Childress on their active roster.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
