Cowboys Add Three UFL Players After Placing Matt Hennessy on Season-Ending IR

The signings serve as low-cost depth, putting Mims, Speed, Glaser on short non-guaranteed tryouts in summer practices.

Overview

  • The Cowboys agreed to terms with three UFL players — WR Denzel Mims, CB Ameer Speed and OL Chris Glaser — and made roster moves to clear space for them.
  • The team placed veteran center Matt Hennessy on season-ending injured reserve after recent neck surgery, a move that opened an immediate need for interior offensive-line depth.
  • To make room the Cowboys released DB Corey Ballentine and WR Romello Brinson and now enter the summer with one roster spot still open.
  • All three UFL signees will be evaluated during minicamp and training camp and have no guaranteed roster spots, with special teams play and positional versatility likely their clearest path to sticking.
  • The additions reflect a growing NFL pattern of using the UFL as a low-cost developmental pipeline, a route Dallas has used successfully before with players such as KaVontae Turpin and Brandon Aubrey.
