The Dallas Cowboys are signing cornerback Kendall Sheffield to their practice squad, reported Ian Rapoport from NFL Network.
The free agent is expected to help out the Cowboys in solving their need at cornerback following a season-ending injury to Jourdan Lewis. The blow is a bigger deal than many would assume and the Jones acted quickly on it.
Dan Quinn is no stranger to the veteran cornerback, having coached him in the Atlanta Falcons in 2019 and 2020.
The former fourth-round draft pick played in the slot during his rookie season and got mixed results. But it's clear the Cowboys need any help they can get to solidify their pass defense after losing a starter in the secondary.
Given the team clearly likes rookie DaRon Bland, it seems like it will be his job to lose. But Sheffield gives them depth and healthy competition as the team navigates the injury.
The veteran corner will be signed to the Cowboys' practice squad. The team will be able to elevate him to the game-day roster three times before having to sign him to the 53-man roster.
