To address the void left by Diggs, the Cowboys have signed cornerback Andrew Booth Jr. from the practice squad. Booth will be expected to play a significant role in the team's secondary this week.

In four appearances this season, including one start, Booth Jr. has recorded seven tackles.

In addition to Booth, the Cowboys have elevated linebacker Darius Harris, who previously appeared in Week 6 against the Detroit Lions, and center Dakoda Shepley, who appeared in his first game of the season last Sunday against the Carolina Panthers, from the practice squad.
