Remains with Dallas The Cowboys signed DiNucci to a reserve/future contract Monday.

Impact DiNucci failed to make the team's 53-man roster ahead of the regular season and spent the entirety of the 2021 campaign on the team's practice squad. The quarterback appeared in three games in 2020 and completed 23 of 43 passes for 219 yards while starter Dak Prescott was out due to a season-ending ankle injury. The seventh-round pick will have another opportunity to find a full-time backup role with Dallas this coming offseason.

Resurfaces on practice squad The Cowboys signed DiNucci to the practice squad Wednesday.

Impact DiNucci couldn't beat out Cooper Rush for the No. 2 spot behind Dak Prescott (shoulder), but he will get a chance to continue his development with the Cowboys. The 2020 seventh-round pick underwhelmed in three appearances last season.

Fails to make roster The Cowboys waived DiNucci on Tuesday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The Cowboys cut both DiNucci and Garrett Gilbert on Tuesday, leaving Cooper Rush as the backup to Dak Prescott (shoulder). As a rookie last season, DiNucci completed 23 of 43 passes for 219 yards without a touchdown or interception in three appearances.

JULY 29, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Makes start as rookie DiNucci completed 23 of 43 passes for 219 yards without a touchdown or interception over three appearances for the Cowboys in 2020.

Impact A seventh-round pick in the 2020 draft, DiNucci was the third of four Dallas quarterbacks to get a start in the disappointing campaign, getting his chance after Dak Prescott (ankle) and Andy Dalton (concussion) both went down. Predictably, the rookie looked completely overmatched in his Week 8 start against the Eagles, and he was replaced under center the following week by Garrett Gilbert and subsequently lost the No. 2 job after Dalton recovered. Assuming Prescott is back in 2021, DiNucci could need a big showing in training camp to even win the backup job with the Cowboys next season.
