The Dallas Cowboys have officially added tight end Mitch Van Vooren to their roster, according to Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. This move follows Van Vooren's release by the New England Patriots on August 18.
In light of injuries affecting their backup tight ends, such as Brevyn Spann-Ford, Michael Trigg, and D.J. Rogers, the Cowboys faced a shortage, having only two healthy tight ends available during their last preseason game. Van Vooren has yet to appear in a regular-season NFL game, but he will have a chance to demonstrate his abilities in the Cowboys' upcoming final preseason match.
Details on how the team plans to utilize Van Vooren remain unspecified.
