Dallas Cowboys Sign K.J. Henry Amid Injuries

The Dallas Cowboys are facing a significant challenge as defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence has been placed on injured reserve due to a foot injury, sidelining him for at least four games. This comes alongside the expected absence of fellow pass rusher Micah Parsons, who is dealing with a sprained ankle. In response, the Cowboys have signed defensive end K.J. Henry from the Cincinnati Bengals' practice squad to help bolster their depleted defensive line. Despite being an unproven player in the NFL, Henry brings collegiate experience and familiarity with the team's coaching staff. The urgency to add depth is clear, as the Cowboys aim to maintain their competitive edge while navigating injuries to key players. The team has also considered other free agent options to further reinforce their roster as they head into a challenging matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
