The Dallas Cowboys are in the midst of a lost season. It’s a strange feeling to be looking towards the draft in mid-December, but the team’s ineptitude and sloppy play on the field have put us in this situation.

Of course, many factors go into how a season goes for an NFL team, and the Cowboys are no different. Many are calling for HC Mike McCarthy’s head after the season, and rightfully so. The Cowboys’ main problem continues to be self-inflicted mistakes, something McCarthy has been claiming to be working on for five years.

However, McCarthy might actually get a pass from Jerry Jones because of the slew of injuries that have ravaged the roster. Sitting with a 5-8 record after three consecutive 12-win seasons doesn’t feel right, and there’s no way the drop-off is that far.

Either way, we still have football to be played in 2024, and the Cowboys again have to respond to an injury by adding a free agent to the practice squad. As reported by Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, the Cowboys have signed OL Braeden Daniels to the practice squad in the wake of RG Zack Martin being moved to Injured Reserve.

College With the Utes

Braeden Daniels is a native of Carrollton, Texas, and was raised in the DFW Metroplex. As a 3-star recruit, he originally committed to the University of Illinois before ultimately deciding on the University of Utah.

Daniels’ time with the Utes was a successful time. He played two games as a freshman before the team decided to redshirt him. Daniels played left guard until his junior season, where he was moved to right tackle.
