The Dallas Cowboys have signed tight end Mitch Van Vooren, who was previously waived by the New England Patriots on August 18. This decision comes as the Cowboys are facing injuries among their backup tight ends, including Brevyn Spann-Ford, Michael Trigg, and D.J. Rogers.
In their most recent preseason game, the Cowboys were limited to just two healthy tight ends, prompting the need for additional depth at the position. Van Vooren, who has not yet played in a regular-season NFL game, will have an opportunity to showcase his skills in Dallas' final preseason matchup.
Further details regarding Van Vooren's role with the team and the extent of the injuries to the other tight ends have not yet been provided.
