The Cowboys will have no choice but to alter their hand signals for this weekend’s showdown with the Patriots.
Speaking to the media Tuesday morning, Cowboys offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer mentioned how Will Grier could give the Patriots an advantage if they keep their hand signals the same.
Grier was on the Cowboys from September of 2021 to August of 2023. In his final preseason game with “America’s Team,” he racked up 305 passing yards and four total touchdowns.
Shortly after joining the Bengals practice squad on Aug. 30, Grier was signed to the Patriots’ 53-man roster.
Schottenheimer won’t allow Grier to steal signs from New England’s bench this Sunday.
“We know Will knows where a lot of the bones are buried,” Schottenheimer said. “We know Zeke does as well … I’m sure (Grier) is definitely being interrogated.”

Patriots running back Ezekiel Elliott also knows a thing or two about the Cowboys’ offensive system.
