The Cowboys are signing defensive end K.J. Henry off the Bengals practice squad. Henry is signing a two-year deal with Dallas and will be on the active roster according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.

The Bengals claimed Henry after he was released by Washington during final cuts. He had 1.5 sacks fo the Commanders last season. That means the Bengals have an open spot on their practice squad.

Cincinnati is hoping to get some pass rush help in the near future with Myles Murphy getting close to a return. The former first round pick is on injured reserve, but is eligible to be activated this week.
