Holley, Carpenter Signed To Practice Squad

link

Now that they’ve filled their 53-man roster, the Cowboys have added eight players to the practice squad, including wide receiver Jesse Holley, the reality TV winner of “4th and Long” who scored the game-winning touchdown in Minnesota Friday night.

Holley joins wide receiver Manuel Johnson, a seventh-round pick from Oklahoma as the two receivers on the squad.

Quarterback Rudy Carpenter, who played nearly three quarters Friday night in his only preseason action, is on the squad and should run the scout-team offense with Stephen McGee (sprained MCL) banged up for the next few weeks.

While the Cowboys couldn’t retain fifth-round pick DeAngelo Smith, who was claimed off waivers by the Browns, they did sign Mike Mickens to the practice squad.

Here’s the entire eight-man practice squad heading into the first week of the season:

QB Rudy Carpenter
TE Scott Chandler
FB Julius Crosslin
WR Jesse Holley
WR Manuel Johnson
OG Travis Bright
DE Marcus Dixon
CB Mike Mickens
