Cowboys Sign DE Michael Sam

Michael Sam has finally found a home in the NFL.

The Dallas Cowboys signed the defensive end to their practice squad. Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett announced the signing on Wednesday.

With so many injuries to their defensive line, the Cowboys are in need of help, though Sam isn't likely to start for the team in their season opener.

Cowboys gave up the most yards of any team last season. They only had five sacks in the preseason and George Selvie, Terrell McClain, Henry Melton and DeMarcus Lawrence are all out with injuries.

Sam will wear number 46 on the practice squad but the number would change if he was activated to the Cowboys 53 man roster.

Any team can sign Sam off the Cowboys' practice squad, but would have to put him on the 53-man roster for a minimum of four weeks.
