Rogers is a former seventh-round draft pick of the team in 2024, and was waived out of training camp. Dallas chose not to sign him to their practice squad at the time.<\/p>\n<p>The move was an unpopular one for fans, who thought Rogers might develop into a run-stuffing tackle. But that never materialized.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, the former Kentucky Wildcats and Auburn Tigers defensive tackle signed to the Cincinnati Bengals&#8217; practice unit.<\/p>\n<p>The Cowboys signed Rogers off the Bengals&#8217; practice squad on Dec. 19, although he never appeared in a game.<\/p>\n<p>Now, it appears his second stint with Dallas will go the same way as the first.<\/p>\n<p>Across 43 games in four collegiate seasons, Rogers posted 77 tackles with 28 solo and eight for loss and added four sacks.<\/p>\n<p>The Cowboys also waived cornerback Luq Barcoo, who joined the practice squad late last season.<\/p>\n<p>Dallas used the two roster spots to sign veterans Robert Rochell and Perrion Winfrey.<\/p>\n<p>Rochell, a cornerback, is a former fourth-round draft pick in 2021 by the Los Angeles Rams who has also spent time with the Seattle Seahawks, Carolina Panthers, Green Bay Packers and Kansas City Chiefs.<\/p>\n<p>Winfrey, a defensive tackle, was also a fourth-round pick, but in 2022 by the Cleveland Browns, who has also played for the New York Jets and the UFL&#8217;s Birmingham Stallions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Please enable JS and disable any ad blocker<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":62760,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-62756","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
