According to Clarence Hill, the Cowboys are targeting for QB Jerrod Johnson to backup Jameill Showers for tonight’s preseason finale.
- Hill added that Dallas is “working to sign” Johnson right now.
Dallas brought QB Austin Davis in a for a workout, but a report from earlier in the day mentions that it was unlikely that they would agree to a contract.
Johnson, 28, wound up signing on with the Eagles as an undrafted free agent out of Texas A&M back in 2011. Since then, Johnson has played for the Steelers, Seahawks and Bears before joining the Ravens on a future/reserve contract back in January.
He was unfortunately waived earlier in the week, as the Ravens trimmed their roster down to 75 players.
Johnson has yet to appear in an NFL game.
