Phil Hoskins was released from the Cowboys' practice squad after joining the team in August. He did not participate in any games during his time with the team. Prior to his stint with the Cowboys, Hoskins had experience with the Arizona Cardinals, Kansas City Chiefs, and Carolina Panthers.

Phil Hoskins was released from the Cowboys' practice squad as part of a roster move to accommodate the signing of Jalen Dalton.

Phil Hoskins is a defensive tackle who could be called upon to provide depth in the Cowboys' lineup following DeMarcus Lawrence's injury. With only one career start, which came last season with the Cardinals, Hoskins has the potential to contribute as a depth piece, especially as the Steelers may focus more on Mazi Smith in the interior. His addition could help the Cowboys navigate the challenges posed by the upcoming game without their key defensive stars.
