Ex-Cowboys 22-Tackle Washout is Signing With the Steelers: Report

The Pittsburgh Steelers have signed former Dallas Cowboys defensive end KJ Henry to their practice squad, according to NFL insider Mike Garafolo. The move followed a successful workout with the team on Monday. Henry, in his fourth NFL season, has appeared in 15 games across four teams, recording 22 tackles, five tackles for loss, three quarterback hits, 2.5 sacks and two pass deflections. He played two games for Dallas during the 2024 season, totaling three tackles, one tackle for loss, one quarterback hit and one sack. The report frames Henry as added defensive-line depth as Dallas struggles with pass rush and run defense—ranking near the bottom in run defense and totalling four sacks this season. Dallas faces Tampa Bay on Thursday Night Football in Week 5.
