Grier completed 29 of 35 passes for 305 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in Saturday's 31-16 preseason win over the Raiders. He added 10 rushes for 53 yards and two additional scores.

EDGE Analysis

The Cowboys reportedly informed Grier that he would be cut following the addition of Trey Lance, though he got the chance to audition for a new job around the league while playing the entire game. He certainly took advantage, as he led the Dallas offense on four touchdown drives, which he capped with 15 and nine-yard passing scores as well as rushing touchdowns of two and seven yards. Grier may have to settle for a spot on a team's practice squad, but he should find a new opportunity after this excellent performance.

Grier will play the entire game Saturday against the Raiders in the Cowboys' preseason finale, but he's been told he won't make the team in the wake of the Trey Lance trade, David Moore of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

A third-round pick by the Panthers in 2019, Grier saw action in two games as a rookie but hasn't seen regular-season action since, either in Carolina or Dallas, and he appears to be running out of chances in the NFL. The 28-year-old will likely have to settle for a spot on a practice squad, either for the Cowboys or another team, if he gets lets go this late in the preseason.

Grier completed 22 of 31 passes for 199 yards and two touchdowns with one interception in Saturday's 28-23 preseason loss to the Jaguars. He added 14 rushing yards on his lone carry.

EDGE Analysis

The 28-year-old replaced Cooper Rush on the Cowboys' first possession of the second quarter and played the rest of the game, guiding the team to all its points in a 28-23 loss. Grier hit Jalen Tolbert for a 17-yard score just before halftime, then led a successful no-huddle drive late in the fourth that resulted in a 15-yard TD for John Stephens. Rush still holds down the No. 2 spot on the QB depth chart behind Dak Prescott, but Grier's impressive effort Saturday opens the door for a real battle between the two for the backup job.

Grier (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Bears, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Grier will be inactive for the second week in a row since starter Dak Prescott's return. With Cooper Rush backing up Prescott, the Cowboys will opt not to dress three quarterbacks.

Dallas signed Grier to its 53-man roster Tuesday, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Grier reverted to the Cowboys' practice squad Monday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

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 game-day activations with Dallas and will need a full active roster spot in order to suit up for the team again this season.

Grier was elevated to the active roster Saturday, Rob Phillips of the Cowboys' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

This becomes Grier's final standard elevation before the Cowboys are forced to make a decision on his status with the 53-man roster. The third-string backup has yet to see action behind Cooper Rush through two weeks.

Grier reverted to the Cowboys' practice squad Tuesday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

EDGE Analysis

Grier was elevated to the active roster for the second week in a row to backup Cooper Rush. With Dak Prescott (thumb) expected to be out for Week 4 against the Commanders, Grier will likely be elevated once again.

Grier has been elevated from the practice squad ahead of Monday's game against the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Grier will join Dallas' active roster for the second week in a row as the backup to Cooper Rush. Grier didn't see the field in Week 2 against the Bengals while Rush led Dallas to victory sans Dak Prescott (thumb).

Grier reverted to the Cowboys' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

EDGE Analysis

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 passing 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.
