<p>Grier, on Dallas’ practice squad, is a practical candidate to be promoted to the 53-man roster for insurance. He’s familiar to Cincinnati from practice squad stints, but he lacks the extensive pro starter experience many contenders want backing Browning.</p>

Will Grier was waived by the Cowboys, removing a veteran option from a crowded QB room. Grier’s NFL stint has featured stints with backups and practice squads; fantasy impact remains minimal unless an unexpected opportunity arises elsewhere.

Grier was released by Dallas after preseason drives impressed some, but the club prefers Joe Milton III as the No. 2. He could still be stashed on the Cowboys’ practice squad as an emergency quarterback behind Dak Prescott, keeping a wavier-wire opportunity alive in-season.

Grier is the No. 3 quarterback, with the staff saying they know what he is. His NFL action is limited to two games in 2019 with four picks and no TDs, and his recent role has centered on practice squads and learning Dallas’ system.

Grier enters the conversation as a potential backup, his performance in drills and any extended looks could tilt the DAL QB depth map, affecting backups and fantasy upside behind Prescott.
