He spent time with the Philadelphia Eagles this season but ended up back in Dallas in November following a season-ending injury to Dak Prescott.<\/p>\n<p>Grier was selected by the Carolina Panthers in the third round of the 2019 NFL Draft out of West Virginia. He has just two starts on his resume, going 0-2 in those games. He\u2019s tossed four interceptions and no touchdowns.<\/p>\n<p>The Cowboys have yet to announce their plans at quarterback for Sunday\u2019s Week 18 matchup against the Washington Commanders.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Cowboys QB Trey Lance Expected to See Action Against Commanders<\/h2>\n<p>Cooper Rush has started in place of Prescott since his injury. He\u2019s gone 4-4 and has had some success, passing for 1,844 yards, 12 touchdowns and five interceptions.<\/p>\n<p>However, the Cowboys are expected to get an extended look at Trey Lance, who has not seen the field much since being acquired via trade in 2023.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would expect them to play some guys we have not seen. One notable one \u2014 I\u2019m told to expect Trey Lance, their third-string quarterback for most of the season, to get significant reps in this game. Cooper Rush may still start but Trey Lance is expected to get some reps,\u201d\u00a0Rapoport said. \u201cFor Cowboys fans and the Cowboys in general, there\u2019s a lot they could learn from this game, including what Trey Lance looks like when he actually plays. Looks like we will find out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Cowboys sent a fourth-round pick to the San Francisco 49ers\u00a0for the former No. 3 overall pick. But outside of preseason action, Lance has seen next to no action, attempting just six passes in a Dallas uniform.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTrey is ready to play. Will is ready to play,\u201d Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy said. \u201cI like our quarterbacks room. Those guys are really sharp in their gameplans. They\u2019ve been great teammates and assets in helping Cooper get ready each week, just like Cooper did for Dak.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2026 I\u2019m proud of how that room works together, and all three of those guys will be ready to play.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Trey Lance Understands Reality of Situation With Cowboys<\/h2>\n<p>Lance didn\u2019t expect his career in the NFL to play out how it has. But he\u2019s tried to make the best of the situation, sitting behind Prescott and Rush.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want to play every week, but that\u2019s the reality of this business, reality of playing quarterback in this league,\u201d Lance said. \u201cIt\u2019s tough, only one guy gets to play. You\u2019ve got to be realistic with yourself and find ways to continue to get better.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With only four NFL starts under his belt \u2014 all with the 49ers \u2014 he\u2019ll need to rely on a team in free agency recognizing the potential that made him a high draft pick. Week 18 presents a crucial opportunity to showcase his talent on film, potentially earning him another chance next season \u2014 whether it\u2019s with a new team or even a return to Dallas.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Dallas Cowboys have added Will Grier to the 53-man roster ahead of the team&#8217;s season finale against the Washington Commanders.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":9150,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9149","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-dallas-cowboys"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
