Grier (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's matchup with the Commanders. The quarterback was signed off the practice squad Saturday ahead of Sunday's game. To enter the contest, Grier will need starter Trey Lance and backup Cooper Rush to be injured, sick or ejected. The 2019 third-round pick of the Panthers last appeared in an NFL regular-season game during his rookie year.
The Cowboys signed Grier off their practice squad Saturday, Tommy Yarrish of the team's official site reports. Grier signed with Dallas' practice squad in mid-November a few days after he had been cut from Philadelphia's practice squad. The veteran quarterback hasn't gotten into an NFL game since 2019, when he completed 28 of 52 pass attempts for 228 yards with no touchdowns and four interceptions while adding 22 rushes on seven carries over two games with Carolina. Grier will likely be third on the depth chart at quarterback behind Cooper Rush and Trey Lance if he suits up in Sunday's Week 18 game against Washington.
Dallas signed Grier to its practice squad Tuesday, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports. Grier was cut from the Eagles' practice squad less than a week ago, but now he's getting a chance to make an impression with their division rival. Assuming both Cooper Rush and Trey Lance stay healthy though, it's unlikely Grier will join the active roster any time soon.
Philadelphia cut Grier from its practice squad Thursday. Grier was brought onto the Eagles' practice squad just before the start of the regular season, but now he's headed back to free agency. He'll have to look for his next opportunity to make an impression elsewhere.
Grier signed with the Eagles' practice squad Wednesday. The 2019 third-round pick lost the Eagles' No. 2 quarterback battle to both Kenny Pickett and Tanner McKee during the preseason, but Grier will remain on the team's practice squad. Grier most recently appeared in an NFL game in 2019 with the Panthers, throwing for 228 yards and four interceptions across two contests.
The Eagles let go of Grier on Monday. Grier inked a one-year deal with Philadelphia back in March, but the team looks to be rolling with Kenny Pickett as the top backup to Jalen Hurts, with rookie sixth-round pick Tanner McKee available as the No. 3 option. Now, for his part, Grier will be free to search for a reserve gig elsewhere in the league.
The Eagles signed Grier to a one-year deal Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. The 100th overall pick in the 2019 draft by the Panthers, Grier is joining his sixth team since entering the NFL. He hasn't appeared in a regular-season game since his rookie season when he started two contests for Carolina, completing 28 of 52 passes (53.8 percent) for 228 yards, zero touchdowns and four interceptions. In all likelihood, Grier will be a camp quarterback for the Eagles behind Jalen Hurts and newcomer Kenny Pickett.
