The Dallas Cowboys made a series of roster moves on Saturday. With injuries stacking up in last week’s 19-3 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, it was assured there were going to be changes made ahead of the next tilt. With the Cincinnati Bengals coming to town for a Sunday afternoon face-off, the Cowboys have decided how they are going to attack things.
That process includes waiving fifth-round rookie, DT John Ridgeway. Predicted to not even make the initial roster after a lackluster preseason showing, Ridgeway was inactive for Week 1 and will now have to clear waivers before making it to the practice squad. The Arkansas product was a fan favorite in the interview circuit, but didn’t impress the coaching staff once the pads came on. The Cowboys have also placed DE Tarell Basham on injured reserve. To fill their spots, QB Cooper Rush and K Brett Maher have been signed to the active roster. In addition, Dallas is elevating QB Will Grier and center/guard Alec Lindstrom from the practice squad.
