McElroy, 26, signed with the Rams as an undrafted free agent out of Southeastern Oklahoma State in 2018. He was waived coming out of the preseason last year and eventually signed on with the Cowboys this past March.
Unfortunately, Dallas waived McElroy with an injury designation last week and he later reverted to their injured reserve list. He was later released with a settlement before joining Tampa Bay’s practice squad.
McElroy played two seasons of MLB for the Atlanta Braves in 2014 and 2015, along with one season of basketball at Oklahoma State. He joined the Southeastern Oklahoma State football team as a grad transfer.
