Cowboys Sign DBs Thomas, Austin

The Cowboys are signing cornerback Alex Austin to the practice squad, while safety Juanyeh Thomas will join either the active roster or practice squad. Austin, a seventh-round pick of the Bills in 2023, has played 29 games with six starts and has 31 tackles, eight passes defensed and an interception.

Thomas, who signed with the Cowboys as an undrafted free agent in 2022, has appeared in 36 games, recording 62 tackles, five passes defensed and a forced fumble. The moves come as Dallas deals with multiple injuries in their secondary, including safeties Malik Hooker (fractured forearm) and P.J. Locke (foot), and cornerbacks Shavon Revel (knee/ankle) and Cobie Durant (hamstring). amunra.help
