On the heels of the Cowboys trading for Christine Michael, the Cowboys add an other running back, this time to their practice squad. According to his agent, Gus Johnson was signed to the Cowboys practice squad today.
Gus The Bus showed a lot of promise after joining the Cowboys late in July. So much so that earlier this week, Aaron Wilson of The Houston Chronicle reported the Cowboys would like to stash Johnson on the practice squad. And that's just what they did today.
With the signing, Johnson probably won a PS spot over Ben Malena, and his nice touchdown run against the Texans, where he sliced through defenders, may have been one factor in sealing the deal.
