The Dallas Cowboys have signed tight end Mitch Van Vooren, as reported by Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. Van Vooren was previously waived by the New England Patriots on August 18.
The Cowboys are currently facing injury issues with their backup tight ends, including Brevyn Spann-Ford, Michael Trigg, and D.J. Rogers. In their last preseason game, the team was limited to just two healthy tight ends. Van Vooren, who has not yet played in an NFL regular-season game, will have the opportunity to showcase his skills in the Cowboys' final preseason matchup.
Further details regarding Van Vooren's role and the extent of the injuries to the other tight ends have not yet been provided.
