Let go by Buffalo
The Bills waived DiNucci on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: DiNucci was unable to win a job behind Josh Allen and Mitch Trubisky in Buffalo. During the preseason, DiNucci completed 14 of 20 passes for 96 yards and one touchdown, adding five carries for 13 yards. He hasn't played in a regular-season NFL game since 2020 with the Cowboys.

Brought in by Buffalo
The Bills signed DiNucci on Monday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: With Shane Buechele set to miss extended time due to a neck injury he sustained in Saturday's preseason loss to the Bears, the Bills will bring in DiNucci to serve as the third quarterback behind Josh Allen and Mitch Trubisky. DiNucci was cut by the Broncos in May after Denver traded for Zach Wilson and selected Bo Nix 12th overall in the 2024 NFL Draft.

Let go by Denver
The Broncos plan to cut DiNucci on Wednesday, Parker Gabriel of the Denver Post reports.
Analysis: DiNucci, who spent the 2023 season on the Broncos' practice squad, was elevated to the team's gameday roster three times, but didn't log any regular-season snaps. With DiNucci no longer in the mix, the Broncos are left with Bo Nix, Jarrett Stidham and Zach Wilson as their quarterbacks.

Back with Broncos for 2024
The Broncos signed DiNucci to a reserve/future contract for the 2024 season Monday, Nick Kosmider of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: DiNucci did not see the field for Denver in 2023, but he did spend the entire season with its practice squad and will now compete for a spot on its 53-man roster in 2024. The state of the Broncos' quarterback position is in flux since they benched Russell Wilson for the final two games of the year, signaling they may opt to cut him before March.

Reverts to practice squad
DiNucci reverted to Denver's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Analysis: DiNucci was elevated for Sunday's 26-23 loss to the Patriots, but he ultimately remained inactive as an emergency QB option. He's unlikely to see the field for the Broncos this season unless one of Russell Wilson and/or Jarrett Stidham end up missing time. He hasn't appeared in a game since 2020 with Dallas.

Elevated from practice squad
The Broncos elevated DiNucci from the practice squad Saturday ahead of Sunday night's game against the Patriots.
Analysis: DiNucci will provide insurance behind Russell Wilson and Jarrett Stidham for Denver, but he's unlikely to see the field against New England. DiNucci hasn't attempted a pass in the NFL since the 2020 season with the Cowboys.

Back to practice squad
DiNucci reverted to Denver's practice squad Monday.
Analysis: DiNucci will return to the practice squad after being a healthy scratch in Saturday's loss to Detroit. The 27-year-old will now wait for another opportunity to be called up for action.

Inactive Saturday night
Dinucci (coach's decision) is inactive for Saturday's game against Detroit.
Analysis: Dinucci was elevated to the active roster from the practice squad earlier Saturday, but he won't suit up for the contest against the Lions. The 27-year-old hasn't played in an NFL game since 2020 with Dallas.

Reverts to practice squad
DiNucci reverted to the Broncos' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Inactive Sunday
DiNucci (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Texans.
Analysis: DiNucci was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, sparking speculation that Russell Wilson and/or Jarrett Stidham were dealing with injuries. However, that doesn't appear to be the case, so DiNucci has been made inactive.

Joins active roster
Denver elevated DiNucci to its active roster Saturday, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports.
Analysis: DiNucci has been with the Broncos organization for the majority of 2023, and he'll likely serve as the team's emergency No. 3 quarterback Sunday. The James Madison product hasn't appeared in an NFL game since 2020, when he saw playing time amongst a Cowboys QB room that was depleted with injuries.

Added to practice squad
DiNucci landed a spot on the Broncos' practice squad Wednesday, Aric Dilalla of the team's official website reports.
Analysis: DiNucci spent his first three seasons with the Cowboys on both their active roster and practice squad before joining the Broncos in May. He was competing with Jarrett Stidham for the backup role behind Russell Wilson under center but ultimately came up short. Now, he will be the team's de facto No. 3 quarterback via the practice squad.

Gets cut loose
DiNucci was waived by the Broncos on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: DiNucci joined the team in May after a successful XFL season with Seattle. Ultimately though, the James Madison product was unable to unseat Jarrett Stidham for backup duties, while Denver has opted to carry two quarterbacks on their 53-man roster.

Parting ways with Cowboys
DiNucci will be waived by the Cowboys on Sunday, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: DiNucci spent the 2021 season on the Cowboys' practice squad before signing a reserve/future contract with the team in January. While he was unable to secure a spot on the Cowboys' 53-man roster, it's possible that he lands on a practice squad in 2022. Over three preseason games this year, DiNucci completed 16 of 27 pass attempts for 181 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions while rushing five times for 11 yards.

Remains with Dallas
The Cowboys signed DiNucci to a reserve/future contract Monday.
Analysis: DiNucci failed to make the team's 53-man roster ahead of the regular season and spent the entirety of the 2021 campaign on the team's practice squad. The quarterback appeared in three games in 2020 and completed 23 of 43 passes for 219 yards while starter Dak Prescott was out due to a season-ending ankle injury. The seventh-round pick will have another opportunity to find a full-time backup role with Dallas this coming offseason.

Resurfaces on practice squad
The Cowboys signed DiNucci to the practice squad Wednesday.
Analysis: DiNucci couldn't beat out Cooper Rush for the No. 2 spot behind Dak Prescott (shoulder), but he will get a chance to continue his development with the Cowboys. The 2020 seventh-round pick underwhelmed in three appearances last season.

Fails to make roster
The Cowboys waived DiNucci on Tuesday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The Cowboys cut both DiNucci and Garrett Gilbert on Tuesday, leaving Cooper Rush as the backup to Dak Prescott (shoulder). As a rookie last season, DiNucci completed 23 of 43 passes for 219 yards without a touchdown or interception in three appearances.

Makes start as rookie
DiNucci completed 23 of 43 passes for 219 yards without a touchdown or interception over three appearances for the Cowboys in 2020.
Analysis: A seventh-round pick in the 2020 draft, DiNucci was the third of four Dallas quarterbacks to get a start in the disappointing campaign, getting his chance after Dak Prescott (ankle) and Andy Dalton (concussion) both went down. Predictably, the rookie looked completely overmatched in his Week 8 start against the Eagles, and he was replaced under center the following week by Garrett Gilbert and subsequently lost the No. 2 job after Dalton recovered. Assuming Prescott is back in 2021, DiNucci…read more

Healthy scratch Sunday
DiNucci (coach's decision) is officially inactive for Sunday's game versus Pittsburgh, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Analysis: The rookie seventh-round pick received the start last week but wasn't even in the conversation to start again Week 9 with Andy Dalton (concussion) testing positive for COVID-19. DiNucci completed 21 of 40 passes for 180 yards with zero touchdowns and two interception. Garrett Gilbert will start at quarterback Sunday, while Cooper Rush was elevated from the practice squad to serve as the backup.

Not in discussion for Week 9 start
DiNucci won't start Sunday's game against the Steelers, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Andy Dalton (concussion) tested positive for COVID-19 earlier Tuesday, paving the way for DiNucci to get another start. Instead, first practice squad member Cooper Rush and then reserve Garrett Gilbert have been tossed out as the competitors to lead the Cowboys offense this weekend. Assuming one of those two gets the nod, DiNucci's one-game sample as a starter will read 21-for-40 passing for 180 yards, two lost fumbles and five carries for 22 yards.

Expected to start again Sunday
DiNucci is expected to start Sunday's game versus the Steelers following news that Andy Dalton (concussion) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Dalton won't be able to return by Sunday, so DiNucci is in line for a second straight start. His performance against the Eagles this past Sunday was ugly, as he completed 21 of 40 passes for 180 yards (4.5 yards per attempt) and no touchdowns. He didn't throw an interception, but he was sacked four times and lost two fumbles. The rookie's matchup this week will be even tougher, as the Steelers lead the league with 30 sacks and rank second with 13 turnovers through seven games.

Fails to seize opportunity
DiNucci completed 21 of 40 pass attempts for 180 yards, no touchdowns and two lost fumbles in Sunday's 23-9 loss to the Eagles.
Analysis: DiNucci received the first start of his career, but was given a rude awakening by the Eagles' defensive unit. The 2020 seventh-round pick did not get any help from his battered and bruised offensive line, as he was often under duress mere moments after receiving the snap. The handful of times DiNucci received a clean pocket, he proved to be indecisive and held on to the ball too long, taking four sacks in total on the night. The rookie was blunt during the post-game presser, stating that "this…read more

Confirmed starter for Sunday night
DiNucci has officially been named the starting quarterback for Sunday's game versus the Eagles following news that Andy Dalton (concussion) has been ruled out, Todd Archer of ESPN reports.
Analysis: DiNucci likely wasn't expecting to get much playing time behind Dalton and Dak Prescott (ankle) this year, but he'll be counted on Sunday night in a crucial divisional tilt. The Cowboys' offensive line should see some improvement from last week's loss against Washington, as starters Zack Martin (concussion) and Joe Looney (knee) will both be active. The tackle positions will still be filled by backups, though, which is a major concern after DiNucci was sacked on three of six dropbacks last…read more

Expected to start Sunday night
With Andy Dalton (concussion) listed as doubtful, DiNucci is expected to get the start Sunday night in Philadelphia, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The rookie seventh-round pick won't lack for receiving weapons, but he will be playing behind a shaky O-line against an above-average Eagles pass rush. DiNucci looked overwhelmed when he replaced Dalton in last week's 25-3 loss to Washington, taking sacks on three of his six dropbacks.

Early frontrunner for Week 8 start
DiNucci took all the Cowboys' first-team reps at quarterback during practices Wednesday and Thursday, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Analysis: While Dallas hasn't ruled out Andy Dalton (concussion) from starting this weekend in Philadelphia, the signal-caller has been a non-participant in the first two practices of Week 8. According to Gehlken, Dalton's involvement in Dallas' quarterback meeting Thursday morning marks a step forward for the veteran as he navigates the concussion protocol, but he'll almost certainly need to get some on-field reps in Friday to have a shot at playing against the Eagles. Barring a major turnaround in…read more

Struggles as injury replacement
DiNucci completed two of three pass attempts for 39 yards during Sunday's 25-3 loss to Washington.
Analysis: DiNucci entered the game after Andy Dalton (concussion) took a shot to the head in the second half and struggled against a ferocious defensive front. He managed a 32-yard completion to Amari Cooper and another short gain, but he also took three sacks and was fortunate to not fumble the ball away on two occasions. The rookie hardly seems ready to lead an NFL offense at this point, so it's likely the team looks outside the organization for a starter if Dalton is unable to play next Sunday night…read more

Locked in as No. 2 option
Coach Mike McCarthy confirmed Thursday that DiNucci is the top backup to Andy Dalton, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Analysis: McCarthy said that he's "concerned" about DiNucci's preparation now that the rookie seventh-round pick is a mere injury to Dalton away from being thrust into the starting lineup. The James Madison product threw for 3,441 yards and 29 scores in 2019 while adding 569 yards and seven touchdowns on the ground.

Could be thrust into backup role
DiNucci could find himself as the Cowboys' No. 2 quarterback following the season-ending ankle injury to Dak Prescott.
Analysis: Andy Dalton will take over as the starting QB for Dallas, but that leaves a vacancy in the backup spot. DiNucci, a seventh-round pick in the 2020 draft, has yet to be active on game day, and if the coaching staff feels he's not yet ready to handle NFL action, the Cowboys could look to sign a veteran free agent to fill the No. 2 job. Until another quarterback joins the roster and gets up to speed on the playbook, however, DiNucci figures to be the backup, even if only by default.
