Brief stints with the Bengals, Patriots, and Chargers practice squads eventually led Grier &#8211; who experienced a &#8220;folk-hero&#8221; summer in Dallas in 2022 before he was cut following the Lance trade &#8211; back to Dallas after a short time with\u00a0the Eagles\u00a0earlier this season.<\/p>\n<p>Grier\u2019s\u00a0return to Dallas\u00a0is a tiny part of a larger strategy to reinforce a struggling offense and prevent further disruption as they prepare to host the\u00a0Houston Texans. The Texans, despite injuries, have become one of the AFC\u2019s top teams under quarterback\u00a0C.J. Stroud&#8217;s leadership, holding a 6-4 record and leading the AFC South.
