Cowboys Add Kyle Trask to Practice Squad

Overview

• Multiple beat reporters confirmed on Tuesday that the Dallas Cowboys signed quarterback Kyle Trask to their practice squad to replace Joe Milton III, who joined the Philadelphia Eagles’ active roster last week.
• The signing was reported by ESPN’s Todd Archer and corroborated by the Dallas Morning News’ Joseph Hoyt and NFL reporter Aaron Wilson, reflecting standard local and national transaction coverage.
• Trask was a second-round pick in the 2021 NFL Draft and a 2020 Heisman finalist at the University of Florida, and he has served as a backup to Tom Brady and Baker Mayfield in Tampa Bay.
• Tampa Bay signed Trask to a one-year deal in March 2025 but released him before that season, a decision critics highlighted because he has thrown only a handful of NFL passes in regular-season action.
• Teams have used Trask as short-term, low-cost quarterback insurance with recent stops in Indianapolis (tryout), Atlanta, and Carolina, so the key near-term questions are whether Dallas promotes him to the active roster or keeps him as emergency depth.
