Brandon Carr is coming back to the Cowboys. However, he will do so in an unusual way. The 12-year veteran agreed to join Dallas’ practice squad, Michael Gehlken of the Dallas Morning News tweets.

As recently as a few years ago, he would not have been eligible to do so. But the NFL has loosened the practice squad eligibility requirements, and in this COVID-19-altered landscape, more veterans are allowed on taxi squads. Carr will bring a preposterous 192 career starts to the Cowboys’ practice squad.

Carr, who started every game for Dallas from 2012-16, visited the Cowboys earlier this week. The Ravens made him a free agent by not picking up his 2020 option.

Teams are allowed to carry up to six veterans with unlimited experience onto their P-squads this year. Carr will obviously be the most experienced of Dallas’ practice squad players. Here are the rest of the players on that unit, as of Sunday afternoon:

• T Issac Alarcon
• LB Francis Bernard
• DB Deante Burton
• DE Ron’Dell Carter
• DT Justin Hamilton
• LB Ladarius Hamilton
• C Marcus Henry
• TE Cole Hikutini
• WR Jon’Vea Johnson
• DB Luther Kirk
• RB Sewo Olonilua
• WR Aaron Parker
• DB Saivion Smith
• DB Chris Westry
