Cowboys 53-man roster for Week 11: LB need forces rookie to IR
The Dallas Cowboys had to juggle their roster a bit on Saturday, despite having a clean bill of health for the players on their 53-man roster. Ahead of their Week 11 matchup with the Carolina Panthers, the club added linebacker Rashaan Evans to the 53-man roster. Evans, signed following the initial move of Leighton Vander Esch to IR last month, has been active each of the last three games. However, that was as a practice squad player who had to be elevated prior to each game.
Now out of elevations, Dallas had to make a move to create space on their roster. Evans was added to the 53-man roster, replacing rookie DL Viliami Fehoko. Fehoko showed up on this week’s injury report with a knee injury. Although he was a full participant each day of practice, apparently he needs at least four weeks to get healthy.
Wink, wink.
Evans is the only addition to the roster for this week prior to the inactives list. There was some consideration the club would activate TE Peyton Hendershot. Hendershot has been on IR and the club activated his 21-day practice window this week. They will hold off on returning him to the full roster, though. Once that happens, a corresponding move will have to be made.
Dallas is also opting not to elevate practice squaders WR Martavis Bryant or DT Carl Davis; the two most recent additions to the club. As it stands, here are the 53 men eligible to play on Sunday.
