team tweeted, “The Cowboys signed CB Andrew Booth to the practice squad.”

Booth, 24, has played just three games in Dallas this season, a total non-factor in Zimmer’s defense, experiencing action on 38 defensive plays. Opposing quarterbacks fired up a 118.7 passer rating when targeting Booth in a limited sample, and Booth’s 38.9 Pro Football Focus grade is also lackluster.

Pro Football Focus score last season on about 100 coverage snaps. However, that did not translate to 2024, at least not yet.

Neither Booth nor his draft-classmate, safety Lewis Cine, took flight inside the Vikings’ defense since joining the NFL in 2022. Adofo-Mensah drafted the pair as his first two picks on the job a bit over two years ago, focusing on defense while leaving Kirk Cousins in place, along with Dalvin Cook and Adam Thielen, for one season. Fast-forward to 2024, and all those veteran offensive pieces have departed.

Cine is on the Buffalo Bills’ practice squad.

according to DVOA. Not ideal.

The Vikings play the Cowboys next season in Dallas.
