The Cowboys are placing tight end Rico Gathers on injured reserve, the team announced today. That will open up a roster spot that could be filled by the recently-released Kellen Moore, coach Jason Garrett tells reporters.
Moore was discarded prior to the initial 53-man cutdown in a move that left undrafted free agent Cooper Rush as the team’s No. 2 quarterback behind Dak Prescott. Nothing is definite yet, but it sounds like Moore could return to the roster to serve as the third stringer, or possibly the second stringer, behind Prescott for the season opener against the Giants.
The shuffling of QBs doesn’t make much sense on the surface, but the Cowboys likely felt that they would lose Rush if they exposed him to waivers. Moore, who they like for their offense, probably is not viewed as favorably league-wide.
Dak better stay healthy. It won’t matter which of the two are backing him up…if Dak goes down it’s lights out.
Romo would be back
Sucks for Rico.. He could have contributed this year!!
Still might
Cowboys need to worry about there defense….. they lost a number of players this offseason….. Secondary will be interesting……???
We let them walk. We got younger and faster, but inexperienced. There will be growing pains but give me young and hungry any day.
Hell ya you should worry about that weak ass O-line Eli could get killed
