Former New York Giants running back Jashaun Corbin has signed to the Dallas Cowboys’ practice squad, giving the 26-year-old another chance in the NFL after a productive stretch in the UFL, via the NFL transaction wire.
Corbin, an undrafted free agent out of Florida State (after time at Texas A&M), originally signed with the Giants in 2022.
He appeared in six games during the 2023 season, primarily on special teams, where he logged 118 snaps.
His offensive production was limited to one carry for one yard and three receptions for 12 yards—all of which came in a blowout loss to Dallas in Week 10.
The Giants waived him with an injury designation ahead of the 2024 season, and he spent the intervening years bouncing between practice squads (Panthers, Falcons, Patriots) before finding a home in the spring league.
There, Corbin thrived. In 2025 with the San Antonio Brahmas, he led the UFL in rushing with 514 yards on 97 carries (5.3 yards per attempt) and four touchdowns while earning All-UFL honors.
The following spring with the Orlando Storm, he carried 131 times for 438 yards and three scores, added 21 receptions for 118 yards, and contributed as a kick returner (322 yards).
Those performances earned him an NFL look, and the Cowboys signed him in early August for training camp.
He appeared in the preseason finale against the Saints (three carries for 14 yards) before being waived on August 30 as part of final roster cuts.
On November 4, after the Cowboys worked out multiple backs including Corbin, Dallas brought him back onto the practice squad.
The move provides familiar depth behind the team’s current running back group as the season continues.
For Giants fans, it is a reminder of the thin margins at the bottom of an NFL roster. Corbin never carved out a meaningful offensive role in New York, but he has shown he can produce when given consistent carries.
Whether he sticks on Dallas’ practice squad long-term or gets elevated remains to be seen; for now, a former Giant is simply another body available to the division rival.
In a league built on second and third chances, Corbin’s path from limited Giants snaps to UFL leading rusher and back to an NFC East practice squad is the kind of quiet career arc that plays out every year.
