The Dallas Cowboys front office had a busy day on Wednesday. In response to their injury-depleted defense, the Cowboys made a flurry of roster moves, addressing their defensive line and secondary. We will focus on the roster moves they made regarding the defensive end position.<\/p>\n

As previously discussed on\u00a0Gridiron Heroics<\/em><\/a>, the Cowboys placed Marshawn Kneeland on injured reserve. Kneeland was carted off after suffering a\u00a0non-contact knee injury\u00a0in the first quarter of last week\u2019s game. An MRI determined that he suffered a partial meniscus tear, which required surgery. He will miss around\u00a04-to-6 weeks.<\/span><\/p>\n

Concerned with their defensive end depth, the team promoted a veteran EDGE rusher.<\/p>\n

On\u00a0X, t<\/em>he Cowboys announced they promoted Carl Lawson to the active roster. The Cowboys promoted Lawson to the active roster because they had already elevated him\u00a0three times, the maximum number of times a team can elevate a player from the practice squad to the active roster for gameday.\u00a0If they elevated him for the fourth time, he would be required to sign to the active roster, and they did just that.<\/span><\/p>\n
