The Dallas Cowboys have acquired tight end Mitch Van Vooren after he was released by the New England Patriots on August 18, according to Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. This addition comes as the Cowboys deal with injuries affecting their backup tight ends, which include Brevyn Spann-Ford, Michael Trigg, and D.J. Rogers.
As a result, the team was left with only two healthy tight ends in their last preseason game.
Van Vooren has yet to make an appearance in a regular-season NFL game but will have a chance to demonstrate his abilities in the Cowboys' upcoming final preseason matchup. No further information regarding the team's intentions for Van Vooren has been disclosed.
