Overview
- The Cowboys agreed to terms on Thursday, June 18, 2026, with three UFL players: wide receiver Denzel Mims, cornerback Ameer Speed and offensive lineman Chris Glaser.
- To create roster space the team placed center Matt Hennessy on season-ending injured reserve following neck surgery and released defensive back Corey Ballentine and receiver Romello Brinson.
- Glaser was added specifically to provide interior offensive-line depth after Hennessy’s injury, while Mims and Speed were signed to add competition at receiver and cornerback for training camp.
- None of the three signees is guaranteed a final roster spot because they must still earn places during camp, with the moves described as low-cost, game-tested depth additions rather than definitive long-term solutions.
- The transactions continue a broader NFL pattern of teams tapping the UFL for players who have recent game experience, building on past Cowboys finds such as KaVontae Turpin and Brandon Aubrey and altering how clubs add affordable, proven depth.
