Michael Trigg - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Returns to Cowboys Trigg signed a contract to join Dallas' practice squad Tuesday.

Impact Trigg joined the Cowboys as an undrafted free agent in April and played in two preseason games, catching four of eight targets for 30 yards. He was waived Sunday but showed well enough during training camp for Dallas to want to bring him back as organizational tight-end depth on the practice squad.

Impact Trigg played in the first and last of the Cowboys' preseason contests, hauling in four of five targets for 30 yards against the Seahawks before failing to catch any of his three targets in the preseason finale against the Saints. The tight end may not have been able to make the 53-man roster, but the Cowboys would like to have Trigg back with the practice squad if he is not claimed during the waiver period.

Impact Trigg spent his final two collegiate seasons with Baylor and is coming off his best campaign, recording 50 catches for 694 yards and six touchdowns in 2025. Dallas features Jake Ferguson at tight end, and Brevyn Spann-Ford provides steady run blocking as Ferguson's backup, so Trigg may need to prove himself on the practice squad before getting a look on the active roster.
