Overview

  • The Dallas Cowboys signed linebacker Rashaan Evans to their practice squad on October 12, 2023.
  • The move comes after starting linebacker Leighton Vander Esch was placed on injured reserve with a neck injury.
  • Evans was a 2018 first round pick by the Tennessee Titans and spent last season with the Atlanta Falcons.
  • The Cowboys have concerns about Vander Esch's injury history and will likely ease him back slowly when he returns.
  • Evans provides depth at a thin linebacker position for Dallas, who may shift Micah Parsons to a different role.
