The Dallas Cowboys initially released cornerback Andrew Booth Jr. on Tuesday after acquiring wide receiver Jonathan Mingo from the Carolina Panthers in exchange for a 2025 fourth-round draft pick.

However, the Cowboys didn't let Booth Jr. stay away for long. On Thursday morning, Dallas announced that they had re-signed the cornerback to their practice squad.

Booth Jr. initially joined the Cowboys via trade during training camp back in August when the Cowboys sent cornerback Nahshon Wright to the Minnesota Vikings in exchange for the former second-round pick.
